Self-collected images of Tibetan cultural landscapes in the trans-Himalaya

With the permission of the local government, we collected SVIs for Lhasa and Tongren in 2023 and for Nyingchi in 2025. In Nyingchi and Tongren, we mounted an action camera on the front-passenger window of the motor vehicle for video recording. We also traveled to Nyingchi, China (October 2022); Mustang, Nepal (October 2024 and February 2026); Manang, Nepal (February 2026) and Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, China (December 2024), to conduct field research in 12 villages (Figure S1b), and captured images by walking with handheld cameras.
