Gyatsola Pass, Tibet.
Gyatso Pass lies at 5252 meters (17 225 feet), above sea level. Tibet converted to Buddhism in the 8th century but developed its own variety which integrated many elements of the ancient shamanist Bon religion which preceded it. The multi-coloured flags flapping in the wind were put here by pious Tibetans as a form of ritual worship to their ancient mountain deities.
