Tripping Towards Lhasa is a visually meditative tale of travel along the high road to Lhasa, Tibet. It is a vivid chronicle of an overland adventure through a fading culture and landscape that is distinctly sacred and spiritually inspiring. Taking the road trip documentary into contemplative territory, viewers venture over 1000 kilometers through the land kingdom alongside prostrating pilgrims, debating monks, and towering Buddhas. Through Western eyes, glimpses of Tibet from the road provide simple and elegant insights into a unique way of life at the turn of the millennium. The moving images provide a meditation in motion about the Shangri-La of the high plateau, capturing a soon-to-be-forgotten way of life. Tripping Towards Lhasa is an inward and outward ride through one of the world’s last great cultures.
