This is a collection of short videos from Yolanda’s December 2019 visit to Tibet in winter.
Monks at Shalu Monastery in Tibet
As you will see from the videos, winter travel to Lhasa and surrounding areas is a fantastic time to travel to Tibet.
Though it is cold, it’s not as cold as you may imagine. Plus, there are far fewer tourists than normal, many more Tibetan pilgrims and nomads, and lower prices.

How and why Tibetans have lost this spectacular beautiful country? Are Tibetans trying to find out the reasons and investigating the corrupt leaders administration? I am in exile and feeling desperate to go back to my homeland and enjoy the most clean water, air and natural beauty of the country. It is the paradise on earth.
