Tibet Stories

Yumbulagang Palace is in the Yarlung Valley region of Tibet. It's generally considered the oldest building in Tibet with foundations probably laid over 2,000 years ago. It sits high on a ridge and can only be reached by way of a steep path on foot or horseback. It was originally a fortress, but now is a temple attended by a few monks.
