Emily and Genevieve's

trip photos from Tibet.

In June of this year, my friend and colleague, Genevieve and I were privileged to have the opportunity to travel to Tibet. Our two and a half week journey took us to some of the most sacred and wonderful places in Tibet, including the Jokhang Temple, Samye Monastery and our favorite, Sakya Monastery. In addition to the many people we met along the way, we also had the great fortune to encounter many furry and feathered friends.

For the next few weeks, Little Lotus Hearts will be featuring our photographs and anecdotes about these animals. Our first group features animals we met on our visits to Drepung Monastery, Nechung Monastery, the Potala Palace, Norbulingka, Jokhang Temple, Ramoche Temple, Sera Monastery and Samye Monastery, as well as animals we encountered on the road! We hope you enjoy the photos! Check back regularly, as we will be adding new pictures from our trip on a weekly basis. Click here to visit our Animals of Tibet Page.
