Convenience might not be the most significant drive - it could have been for example a sacred place (like Muktinath in Nepal located on Annapurna circuit, 3800m high) or any other reason not clear after hundreds of years. Look at India - people go to great lengths to cremate their beloved ones in Varanasi ghats, often travelling > 1000km with corpse (seen it on train from Delhi myself)

Why would they want to be interred at a Tibetan ritual site? Or why would anyone there want to inter them that way, but not anyone else in the last few hundred years? The pattern looks all wrong.
- woah 7y agoHow is the corpse transported? Open air, Sunday best? Or are they hauling around a coffin?
