The lure of Lhasa, capital on the roof of the world, cannot be undervalued and it is truly a mesmerizing city, fully mitigating its reputation. Subjugated by the tremendous sumptuousness of the Potala Palace and bustling with pilgrim’s circling the sanctified Jokhang Temple it is a feast for the senses.

Cross the spectacular Khamba-La (pass) with the turquoise waters of the sacred lake, Yamdrok-tso, spread below. Prayer flags, glaciers, snow covered mountain ranges - the scenery is incredible!

Gyantse stands at the junction of trade routes from India and retains the feel of a Tibetan town. The forts and well-protected monasteries of Gyantse, Shigatse and Sakya reveal a not always peaceful history - the riches within, testament to past glory.
