View over Lo Manthang, capital of the Land of the King of the South, from the palace rooftop. This medieval fort-city lies in an isolated valley in the middle of the Fertile Plain of Medicinal Herbs. Precious firewood (because there are few trees in this region in the rainshadow of the Himalaya) and fodder for animals are stored on the rooftops.
