The tour ends with a visit to Yumbulagang, said to be the oIdest buiIding in Tibet, consecrated to its ancient kings. The tour is accompanied by Tibetan music, the chanting of monks and other vocaI instrumentaI pieces matched with remarkabIe views of the country, its buildings and mountain scenery. |
