In this print by REUTERS, we are transported to the serene and spiritual landscape of Tibet. The image showcases a mesmerizing sight as Buddhist prayer flags dance gracefully in the wind near Namthso Lake. It is an enchanting display that embodies both tranquility and devotion. The vastness of Namthso Lake becomes evident as we learn about its impressive dimensions - stretching 70 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide. This natural wonder serves as a sacred pilgrimage site, attracting devotees who embark on a remarkable journey around its perimeter. Completing this pilgrimage takes approximately 16 days, offering participants ample time for self-reflection amidst the breathtaking scenery. Photographer Ang Tshring Sherpa has masterfully captured the essence of this momentous occasion.
