Tibetan Monks celebrate New Year's in a Monastery in Nepal

Cool travel photos from the 33 provinces of China.

Photojournalist Tom Carter traveled for 2 years across the 33 provinces of China to show the diversity of Chinese People in CHINA: Portrait of a People, the most comprehensive book of photography on modern China ever published by a single author. http://www.tomcarter.org http://www.blacksmithbooks.com/9789889979942.htm

Shot in a Tibetan Dance Club in Lhasa, this video is the next in a series of 'What It's Like' videos, raw, mostly uncut videos of experiences during my three year trip around-the-world. This video requires a bit of a setup. Read it on my travelogue at: <www.noboundaries.org>

Shot in the small kitchen of a local, roadside somewhere in Tibet as part of my unscripted three-year trip around-the-world. Read more on my around-the-world travelogue at <www.noboundaries.org>.

Enjoy the photography of Lobsang Topgyal from the rarely seen Tibetan colony in Mungod, India

http://TravelsWithSheila.com The Festival began with a fast hike up the hill at altitude trying not to miss any part of the Tongren Aboriginal Festival held once a year. This video highlights Shaman #1 in a trance, pawing the ground and making horse sounds. Offerings and prayers in the temple, intricate dance routines. A "not for tourist" event - that is becoming more popular every year.

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Located in the southern part of Minshan Mountains in China, Jiuzhaigou Scenic Reserve (a UNESCO site) is filled with Chinese National Tourists, high mountains, and crystal clear turquoise lakes. Come along with me and admire its beauty. Don't forget to check out the toilet buses. That's right...toilet buses...

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com The nomads of the Eastern Tibet Plateau still live off the land, traveling with their yaks and black yak wool tents from summer home to winter home and back again. Yak dung (or poop) is formed into yak patties and used for fuel. This nomad Mother used her bare hands to pop additional yak patties in the fire when needed and move the burning coals around. Spinning yak fur, milking yaks...a very hard life.
