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-Shigatse (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. It's just 1 1/2 hours' driving (98km) from Gyantse to Shigatse. Overnight in Shigatse. |
