Infobox Picture Order[edit]

This is very minor, but the order of the pictures is wrong in the infobox caption. The pictures are stated as being in clockwise order from the top left. However, the Temi Tea Garden picture should come before Rumtek Monastery in clockwise order, and in the infobox, they are reversed.
