Leave for Shigatse via Gyantse. First, you will stop at Lake Yamdrok. The charming blue of the lake water is uniquely owned by Tibet’s plateau lakes.

Along the way, you will view the fabulous scenery of the Karola Glacier, one of the top three continental glaciers (ice fields) in Tibet.

When you stop at Gyantse, visit the town’s top attraction: Palcho Monastery. The huge white pagoda is very impressive. You’ll also visit a local Tibetan house and help the locals with their farming work.

Visit Tashilunpo Monastery in Shigatse. There you will listen to stories about the Panchen Lamas and get to know the relationship between panchen and dalai.

Then take the drive to the old town of Tingri. The stunning views along the way may keep you on the edge of your seat. Have a good night’s sleep to be ready for the trekking beginning on day 5.

The second day’s trek is harder: you will climb up to Nam-La Pass. The views of the valley and the snow-capped mountains are breathtaking.Camp in the valley below the pass at night.

On the third day, you will hike from Nam-La to a small village called Zommug. Most of the local people make their living by raising yaks. Say hello to the friendly Tibetan nomads on the way, or even help them herding the sheep or yaks. They will be happy to answer any questions if you are curious about their life.Camp near Zommug at night.

After the last 9 miles of the trek, you will get to Rongbuk Monastery, the closest habitation to Everest Base Camp. It is the highest monastery in the world. You’ll see Mt. Everest right there in front of you (weather permitting).

See the hard life of the monks and nuns there. You will have a chance to talk with a monk. He will be happy to answer your questions about his life and study. Present a hada (Tibetan silk scarf) to him to express your respects.

After visiting the monastery, you will catch a memorable view of the world’s roof at sunset.

Stay overnight at the guesthouse at Rongbuk Monastery.

Drive back to Shigatse after enjoying a beautiful sunrise.

You will visit the most mysterious monastery on the way. It is also the main monastery of Tibetan Buddhism’s Sakya sect. The courtyard with the beautiful murals, the woman ghost statue tied by chain, and the mysterious sutra wall are the highlights you should not miss.

Drive along the Yarlung Zangbo Canyon to Lhasa. Enjoy the marvelous scenery on the way. See plateau lakes, rivers, snowy mountains, and traditional Tibetan villages. Stop at a small village that is famous for Tibetan incense making, and experience producing hand-made Tibetan incense.
