The following travel photographs are from my journey into the Bylakuppe Tibetan refugee camp in southern India. These photos are of Tibetan monks in a debate session, old refugees, the SOS Tibetan refugee school, Sera monastery, and other Buddhists monasteries that cover the Bylakuppe refugee camp.
