By comparison, Tibet's capital, Lhasa, is a hive of activity
Lhasa is a focus for large numbers of pilgrims who congregate at the city's temples each day
Tibet is home to over two and a half million people, most of whom are deeply religious
Though Tibetan Buddhist worship centres on elaborate temples, statues and images
its beliefs are intimately linked with the wild landscapes of Tibet
The starting point for that relationship is the mountain range that runs along Tibet's southern border
