The tour itinerary:
B=breakfast, L=lunch, D=dinner, N=overnight
Day01 Lhasa-Yamdroktso-Tsedang.( L + D)
Yamdroktso (4441m), one of Tibet's three holy lakes, is located 110km outside of Lhasa. In the fresh morning air, you're on the way to this lake. 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. Then you're going to Tsedang town by the Yarlung Valley.
Stay Overnight in Tsedang.
Day02 Tsedang-Samye-Tsedang. (B + L)
To the north bank of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, among the open farmland, stands Tibet's very first monastery - Samye which has a history over 1200 years. To reach Samye, you'll take ferry to cross the Yarlung Tasangpo river, a fantastic ride. East of Samye is the Hepo Ri hill, a 30-minute climb up the side ridge takes you to an incense burner, festooned with prayer flags and offering great views of Samye below.
Back from Samye, you'll make way to Yumblagang, a medieval-European-castle-like structure, reputed as Tibet's oldest building. It doesn't take that long to explore Yumbulagang. Perhaps the best part of the visit is the walk up along the ridge above the building. There're fabulous views of the Yarlung valley.Then back to Lhasa City.Overnight at Lhasa by yourself.
