Shigatse - Tingri
Today we hit the roads again and drive towards one of transit cities in southern Tibet - Tingri. We will visit Sakya Temple on the way. Sakya is one of four major schools (Nyingma, Sakya, Kagyu and Gelug) in Tibetan Buddhism. This temple was the monastery of this tradition built by Khon Konchog Gyalpo (1034-1102) in 1073. The Sakya tradition developed during the second period of translation of Buddhist scripture from Sanskrit into Tibetan in the late eleventh century. After arrival in Tingri - often used as a base by mountain climbers preparing to ascend Mount Everest or Cho Oyu - we stay overnight at a simple, but clean guesthouse.
