Tsedang - Yamdrok Tso - Gyantse

Today we drive through the broad Yarlung-Tsangpo Valley over the two mountain passes Khampa-La (4'794m), offering a breathtaking view over the turquoise Yamdrok-Tso Lake, and Karo-La (5'045m), which glaciers come close to the road, to finally reach Gyantse. We will visit Palkhor Chode located within the old walled monastery section of the town, which used to contain 16 monasteries and Kumbum. Commissioned in 1440, this structure contains 108 chapels in its four floors, and is illustrated with over 10,000 murals. Overnight at an upscale hotel.
