Classical Tibet Tour |
 |
Day
01 Arrive in Lhasa (D) |
The
guide will meet you at Konggar Airport, and transfer you to Lhasa city with about 1 1/2 hours' driving (100km). On the way, you'll get
greeted by Nie Tang Budda - a Budda image engraved in the mountain
face. After arrive in Lhasa, rest and acclimatize. Overnight in Lhasa |
|
Day
02 Lhasa (B,L,D) |
The
first day of sightseeing starts from Lhasa's cardinal landmark- Potala
Palace, a structure of massive portions. Its towering image already
appearing on various occasions, but your first sight of the Potala
will still be an awe-inspiring moment. It takes at least a good 2-hour
to visit those rooms, halls and chapels.
Some 2km to the east of the Potala is the most revered religious structure
in Tibet -
Jokhang Tempel Bustling with worshippers and redolent with mystery,
the Jokhang is an unrivalled experience. The quadrangle of streets
surrounding the Jokhang is the Barkhor - Lhasa's most interesting
pilgrimage circuit. This area of the Old Town is both the spiritual
heart of Lhasa and the main commercial district for Tibetans. Overnight in Lhasa. |
|
Day
03 Lhasa-Yamdroktso-Gyantse (B,L,D) |
Yamdroktso
(4441m), one of Tibet's three holy lakes, is located 110km outside
of Lhasa.
It's mostly mountain road, winding and bumpy, even thrilling somewhat.
After about 3 1/2 hours' driving, climbing over the snow pass of Kambala(5030m),
the dazzling Yamdroktso just lies several hundred meters below the
road, and in clear weather is a fabulous shade of deep turquoise.
Far in the distance is the huge massif of Mt. Nojin Kangtsang(7191m).
After down from the mountain, there's about 30km road along lakeside,
with barley fields on the other side of the road. A nice walk by the
lakeside can be a great joy. Leaving Yamdroktso is as spectacular
as arriving, since you'll cross the 5045m Karola, with its awesome
roadside views of the Nojin Kangtsang Glacier.
With the Glacier scene still exciting you, after about 90km, you get
to Gyantse. There stands the 35m-high famous Kumbum, packed with exquisite
Tibetan sculpture and paintings, a stunning architectural wonder in
Tibet. Overnight in Gyantse. |
|
Day
04 Gyantse-Shigatse-Lhasa (B,L,D) |
It's
just 1 1/2 hours' driving (98km) from Gyantse to Shigatse. Miles away
from Shigaste, you can already see the gold tops of Tashilhunpo shinning
under the sun. While Tashilhunpo's magnificent outside leaves you
gasp in admiration, the inside of this monastery introduces you more
religious tranquility and sincerity.
Drive back to Lhasa. |
|
Day
05 Lhasa -Yambajing-Lhasa (B,L,D) |
