Your journey
9-Day Lhasa, Nyingchi, Yamdrok & Shigatse Tour forms a round trip from Lhasa, with Nyingchi and Basomtso, Lhasa heritage, Yamdrok Lake, Shigatse arranged between the outward and return legs. Combine the lower forested landscapes around Nyingchi with Lhasa’s heritage and a western extension to Yamdrok Lake and Shigatse. Lhasa is about 3,650 metres and Shigatse about 3,850 metres; palace stairs, monastery courtyards and the high road past Yamdrok require a slower walking pace than the distances alone suggest. Return to Lhasa after Shigatse. Tsampa, sweet tea, yak yoghurt or a noodle soup provide practical high-altitude meals, while prayer circuits around Jokhang and Tashilhunpo should be walked clockwise. The route is best suited to travelers who prefer a private guide, a named set of sights and time for a proper meal in each place, with the daily emphasis on a focused private journey with a balanced daily rhythm. Opening hours, traffic and local access are checked during the trip, allowing the guide to reorder visits when needed.
