Simon Urwin recently completed an epic three-week photo shoot across China and Tibet, beginning in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, and ending at Everest Base Camp.
In that time, he immersed himself in the world of Yellow Hat Sect monks, lived in a Khampa village deep in the Himalayas, and explored a hidden corner of China, barely changed since the time of the Cultural Revolution.
Images as well as stories written by Simon from the shoot will soon be appearing in Lonely Planet Traveller, Sidetracked and Traveller magazines amongst others.
