Tib. ladies getting ready to climb the 555 steps (yes, we counted) to the top of the pot@la

Me & Corrie
Pilgrims prostrating at the main temple in town. Tib. will often prostrate at temples or while walking certain routes as a way of atoning for their wrongs in hopes of being reincarnated as something better in their next life.
