The 7 Summits Club guide Olya Rumyantseva sends from Tibet:
Hello to everyone from Tibet! Today we had an excursion day in Lhasa. We visited two of the most important monasteries. Drepung Monastery, which was the residence of the Dalai Lama before the Potala was built. And Sera Monastery, where monks debate. During the excursions we saw many amazing Buddhist things and learned a lot about the traditions of Buddhism, about Buddhas and lamas.
Today is a very important day for Buddhists - the birthday of Buddha Shakyamuni. Therefore, it was especially pleasant to be in such monasteries on such a day.
Today everyone has already gotten used to the height of 3600 that fell on us. We have another day in Lhasa ahead of us.
