Tarboche, at the base of Mt Kailash:This annual festival marks the enlightenment of Sakyamuni (the Historical Buddha). Pilgrims from Tibet, India, Nepal and around the world gather on the full moon day of the fourth Tibetan month (May or June) to drink,eat and watch the flagpole being replaced (manually) every year.
New prayer flags, carrying prayers and pilgrims' names, are attached to the flagpole.
