Photo Of The Day: Tibetan Travelers

One of the travel world's more annoying debates is backpacker vs. rolling suitcase. Those with backpacks scoff at travelers wheeling suitcases along cobblestones, while the roll-aboard lovers might want to avoid the connotation that "backpacker" implies. Even backpackers are being criticized now for taking too much. In the end, it's just a place for one's stuff. We can all agree that seeing pilgrims walking for many miles with very little stuff at all is pretty impressive. Today's Photo of the Day is from Tibet, where some pilgrims are returning from a trip. Flickr user abhishakey photographed the travelers coming from Lhasa, where thousands travel each year to visit the Jokhang Temple with little more than a prayer wheel.
