Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Tibetan Treks
Trekking is superb in Ü. Ganden-Samye is the classic Tibetan trek but the
Tsurphu-Yangpachen walk has equally outstanding scenery. Ü also offers rafting and horse
riding.
Salt Lakes & Sand Dunes
The grandest views are at Nam-tso, a giant salt lake fringed with the snowcapped Tanglha
range. The sand dunes lining the braided Yarlung Tsangpo Valley have a surreal beauty.
Tsang
Art Treasures
Pelkhor Chöde Monastery has the fabulous kumbum chörten, but historic Sakya Monastery
is an equally worthy destination. Off the beaten track, explore the art of Shalu or a Bön
monastery at Yungdrungling.
Everest Highs
Tsang is all about Mt Everest and the awesome views of its north face from Rongbuk
Monastery. Himalayan views are superb across southern Tsang from Lhasa to Kathmandu.
