A photograph of a mountain trek on a grassy, stony high-altitude slope. A group of about a dozen trekkers and pack-animal handlers stands on a gravel track beside several horses and mules loaded with colourful saddle blankets and bags. One man in a blue jacket and light trousers carries a backpack on the left; a rider in a dark blue jacket sits on a grey horse; others wear wide-brimmed sun hats, a green jacket and a pink top. Strings of multicoloured prayer flags are strung on the right near a wooden sign post. The hillside behind is dotted with low green shrubs and rocks.

Mountain pilgrimage photograph on a dusty trail across a high-altitude valley beneath a hillside and large white clouds. Three riders sit on horses while a man in a striped vest and wide-brimmed hat leads the lead horse by a rope. The riders wear a blue jacket, a blue jacket with red headwear, and a red jacket with a pale hat; the horses carry colourful saddle cloths and packs. The scene suggests a trek toward Mount Kailash, shown by terrain alone.2012-08-09August 09 20122012-08-09September 01 20112011-09-01August 09 20122012-08-09 +1 copiesA high-altitude valley beside a shallow stream with a stone-edged bank.
