Shangri-La

Just as a heads up.
1. This isn't the place that book was written about. They changed the towns name to Shangri-La to increase tourism.
2. Due to a fire a few years ago, a lot of the 'best bits' of the town itself were burnt down.
That being said, this was the closest I have ever been to the Himalayas, and this was the best (and biggest) temple I have ever visited.
