Hundreds of exiled Tibetans march in protest against Chinese oppression in their homeland.

The 120 kilometre march comes as tensions over Tibet are at their highest in years after a spate of demonstrations over Chinese rule.

At least 64 protesting Tibetans have died after setting themselves in fire since March 2011.

The president of the Tibetan Youth Club of Gangtok - the group that organised the march - said the self immolations are the result of Chinese repression of Tibetan rights.

Chung Chung Bhutia said that the march was a mark of protest against what he called Chinese atrocities.

The rally is set to end in West Bengal on November 27th.
