Notes

General Note:
Junbesi lies on the old trekking route to the Everest region. The main inhabitants are Sherpas but there is also a significant Tibetan refugee population. Both groups practise Buddhism, and chortens that house sacred relics play a big part in their daily lives. The damaged chorten is on the right bottom of the photo.
