After
seeing all of the highlights of Lhasa, your tour
continues toward Namtso, the "Heavenly Lake",
a bird sanctuary and the largest saltwater lake in
Tibet. Found in an elevation of some 4590 meters above
sea level, the lake is situated at the edge of the
barren and wind-swept Chang Thang Plateau north
of Lhasa. The journey to Namtso includes visits to
several well-known monasteries - Ganden,
Drigung, Tidrom, Tsurphu and Reting. Second
half of your tour packs in trip to the cradle of Tibetan
civilization in Tsedang and Yarlung Valley,
with a visit to Yumbulakhang, the first castle of
Tibet, and en route stopping to visit Samye, the
oldest Monastery of Red Hat sect, as well as the
imposing Mindroling Monastery, the largest
Nyingmapa-sect monastery in Central Tibet.
