This tour is different from our 'Kathmandu to Lhasa Tour' as it begins with a flight and ends with overland travel to Kathmandu. The 'Lhasa to Kathmandu Tour' can begin in Kathmandu or in mainland China. The tour includes two full days of sightseeing in Lhasa and then takes you to Kathmandu via the Friendship Highway. Along the way we will visit many interesting sites including Gyantse, Shigatse & Sakya. Gyantse is the fourth largest city in Tibet (after Shigatse and Chamdo), yet it is a small city of only 10,000 people comprised of mostly native Tibetans and not so influenced by mainland China. Strategically situated at the junction between Shigatse and Lhatse it was once an important stop along the caravan routes of the Silk Road from Sikkim and Bhutan in the south.
Gyantse then assumed an important role as a military center and market town, known particularly for wool and handicrafts. We will visit Palkhor Choide Lamasery, Pangmo Chorten and The Fort (Gyantse Dzong). The second largest city in Tibet, Shigatse has a population of around 40,000 and is the traditional seat of the Panchen Lama, the second holiest man (after the Dalai Lama). Tashilhunpo Monastery, built in 1447, is the official residence of the Panchen Lama, although it did not become this until 200 years after it was built.
