We fly to Lhasa and transfer to Tsedang next to the mighty Yarlong Tsangpo River. From here we explore the ancient castle of Yambu Lakhang situated high on a spur that offers commanding views of the Yarlong Tsangpo Valley.
We cross the river and drive through a vast expanse of sand dunes to Samye, Tibet's first monastery founded in 779. Before visiting Lhasa we move on to Gyantse,via the incredibly beautiful Yamdrok Lake , then on to Xigatse with time to visit Tashilumpo Monastery and the colourful market. In Lhasa we are conducted on a guided sightseeing tour of Sera and Drepung Monasteries.
Nestled beneath the ridge of Mt Gambo Utse (5200m) Drepung used to be the biggest and richest in Tibet. We also have ample time to explore the architectural splendour of the Potala Palace and mingle with the pilgrims in the Barkor market area. We return to Kathmandu via the spectacular mountain flight over the Himalayas.
