An
excellent trip for those interested
in the semi-nomadic lifestyle of the
Tibetan herders (drokpa). After exploring
some of the many wonders of Lhasa head
north to the spectacular turquoise blue
lake, Nam-tso. The lovely Tashi Dor
peninsula is home to myriad species
of migrating birds, a small gompa, hermitage
caves and it is a popular place for
herders to camp.
The rugged
walk from the broad, windswept Yangpachen
Valley, through alpine valleys to cross
the Lasar-La (5300m) takes place at
over 4400m, a scenically stunning combination
of sweeping mountain panoramas and alpine
tundra.
From
Tsurphu, one of the most important monasteries
in Tibet, return to Lhasa to either
fly back to Kathmandu or continue on
an amazing overland journey across the
roof of the world.
