) at Tsaparang is quite unlike
anything you'll see in central Tibet; it feels more like Ladakh than Lhasa. There
comes a point when you are lowering yourself down a hidden sandstone staircase
or crawling through an interconnected cave complex that you stop and think: 'This
is incredible!' What's really amazing is that you'll likely have the half-forgotten ru-
ins to yourself. Rank this as one of Asia's great travel secrets.
