What to expect:
This triangular travel route is the
most popular travel program in Tibet which leads you to three Tibetan towns,
each with its respective distinction. The beauty of Lhasa speaks for itself,
Gyantse, which has retained many original Tibetan features, is a favorite among
foreigners and Shigaze, the second-largest city, is a political, economic and
religious center. The mild and pleasant climate in October offers a chance for
visitors to enjoy the scenic spots not only inside the three cities but also in
between the three cities. This route offers the best of Tibet with some of the
most impressive sights: snow-capped mountains and holy lakes, splendid
monasteries and palaces, original villages and local
people.
