once a monastery and seat of royal power housing hundreds if not thousands, tsaparang far out in western tibet is a network of caves and temples that crawl up this precipitous peak. this photo of me near its summit was taken by christian luczanits, whose knowledge of western himalaya monastic art styles helped made this trip massively instructive. tsaparang is located at +31° 27' 58.74", +79° 40' 15.06" - a short ride from the western tibetan town of tholing. see it from the air
