These rocks were on the lower and final portion of the kora around the outside of the Tashilunpo Monastery walls, which was along the same road as our Tenzin Hotel. We passed these rocks on our way to see the Onkar Festival at Tashilunpo. This is the harvest festival for people in central Tibet. We were lucky enough to arrive in town on the first day of the two day festival. On day two we spent the whole day at the festival. We saw several traditional Tibetan dances, including amazing masks and costumes. We also only saw one other foreign couple the whole day! We felt very privileged to have stumbled into such a lovely and intense happening!
