Ongkor Festival 2013 reporting live in Tibet

Aug 02,2013 ｜ by

“Ongkor” in Tibetan means “surrounding the farmland.” Major activities include horse racing, shooting, singing and dancing, Tibetan Opera, stone holding and wrestling. The “Ongkor” not only shows people’s wish for a good harvest, but also a good time for them to rest. Since crops ripen in different times, the festival is held accordingly.

Our tour guide Lotse took those pictures when he participated in Ongkor Festival last week in Doilungdêgên, a town near Lhasa.
