【布達拉宮】（遊覽上限1小時）

松贊干布用生命中一半的時間蕩平吐蕃，用另一半時間建築輝煌的宮殿和寺廟。遊走於金碧輝煌的佛殿、靈塔、寢宮和回廊之間，燈光渺渺，窗幃低垂，酥油的味道四處彌漫，好像落入了一個古老的夢境，不由自主地迷失在那些經書、佛像、壁畫和遙遠的傳說中。

Potala Palace

This is the most iconic landmark of Tibet and the former winter residence of the Dalai Lamas (1649-1959). After climbing 365 stone steps from the palace gate to the Red Palace, you’ll reach the highest ancient palace in the world - standing proudly at 3,700 meters above sea level - and enjoy stunning panoramic view of Lhasa city.

As you wander through the halls, chapels, and sacred shrines that honor past Dalai Lamas, you’ll be captivated by the intricate murals, exquisite carvings, dazzling jeweled decorations, and the deep spiritual atmosphere that fills the air. Inside the Potala Palace, countless Tibetan pilgrims can be seen bowing and praying devoutly - for many, visiting this sacred site is the journey of a lifetime.

Johkang Temple

Jokhang Temple, the spiritual heart of Lhasa with a history of more than 1,300 years. From afar, you’ll see countless devoted pilgrims prostrating in front of the temple. Stop for a while to witness this moving sight and the unwavering faith of Tibetan Buddhists. This will be a moment to touch your soul.

According to legend, Jokhang Temple was built by King Songtsen Gampo for his two brides - Princess Wencheng of China and Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal. The name Jokhang means “House of the Buddha,” and the temple enshrines a life-sized statue of the 12-year-old Sakyamuni, one of the most sacred treasures in the Buddhist world. This makes Jokhang Temple the holiest pilgrimage site in Tibet.

Barkhor Street

Step outside to Barkhor Street, once the traditional kora (pilgrimage circuit) around the temple. Today, it’s a lively place filled with the scent of incense and the sounds of chanting pilgrims. You can sip yak butter tea at a tea house, dress in Tibetan attire for photos, or shop for unique handicrafts and souvenirs from Tibet, Nepal, and India.

Special Meal Arranged: Tibetan or Nepalese specialty cuisine

出發後，沿途為雅魯藏布江河谷，可鳥瞰雅江。101省道的雅魯藏布江是拉薩附近最寬闊的江面，沿雅江河穀進入307省道行駛到半山腰鳥瞰雅魯藏布江，視野遼闊，恢弘壯美。

【崗巴拉山口】最佳視角，看羊湖最美一面，最藍的天，最藍的湖，都在這里。在這里，你會明白“天上天使淚，人間羊湖藍”為何意，但也有很多攝影師說：“無論拍多少次羊湖，都拍不出她的美……” 岡巴拉山上很多藏民可以提供牦牛拍照，請先講好價格，以免造成不必要麻煩。

【羊卓雍措】是西藏三大聖湖之一的淡水湖，湖水如羊脂般清澈，湖水甘甜，可以飲用。湛藍的湖水與遠方的雪山連為一體，加上兩岸各色的山脈、極具特色的藏民族村落、遍地的牛羊，一路走來，心曠神怡。羊湖湖水面積638平方公里，湖面海拔4441米，湖岸線長達250千米。此湖也被認為是神女遺落在人間的松石耳串。站在海拔4950米的崗巴拉山頂向南眺望，羊卓雍錯像一塊鑲嵌在群峰之中的藍寶石，碧藍的湖水平滑如鏡，明藍映天。

【卡若拉冰川】

此冰川堪称 “奇绝”，位于浪卡子县和江孜县交界处，冰川背靠西藏四大高峰之一的乃欽康桑雪山，巨大的冰川從山頂雲霧飄緲處，一直延伸到離公路只有幾百米的路邊。雖然由於長年受公路上灰塵的影響，冰川整體呈黑白分層形態，但冰川上半部在陽光的照耀下，猶如一副巨型唐卡掛在山壁上，熠熠生輝。由於先後有電影《紅河谷》、《江孜之戰》、《雲水謠》曾在此拍攝外景，而聲名遠揚。

夜宿日喀則，日喀則藏語意為“最好的莊園”，是“西藏的糧倉”之一。是歷史上後藏的政治、宗教、文化中心，也是歷代班禪的駐錫之地。已有500多年歷史，是目前西藏的第二大城市。作為歷代班禪駐錫之地，整個城市彌漫着深厚的宗教文化底蘊。

【溫馨提示】

除入藏函外，外籍、臺胞遊客需統一在日喀則出入境管理處進行備案，導遊會視情況合理調整安排行程，請遊客聽從導遊安排並積極配合

Today, you’ll embark on a scenic drive from Lhasa to Shigatse, Tibet’s second-largest city. The journey covers around 370 kilometers and takes 7 hours’ drive, with stops to admire two of Tibet’s most spectacular natural wonders - Yamdrok Lake and Karola Glacier.

In the morning, after about 2-3 hours of driving (110 km), get your camera ready as you approach Kampala Pass (4,797 m). Here, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of Yamdrok Lake, a turquoise ribbon shimmering among snow-capped mountains. Known as one of Tibet’s four sacred lakes (along with Lhamo Latso, Manasarovar, and Namtso), Yamdrok is believed to hold spiritual power - helping Tibetans locate the reincarnated soul of the Dalai Lama. You’ll also see locals offering photo opportunities with Tibetan mastiffs, yaks, or goats dressed in traditional ornaments.

In the afternoon, continue driving for about 1.5 hours (87 km) to reach the stunning Karola Glacier (5,012 m) - one of Tibet’s three major continental glaciers and a filming site of the movie Red Valley (Hong He Gu). Backed by Naiqin Kangsang Peak (7,191 m), the glacier gleams like a frozen waterfall cascading right beside the highway. You can enjoy the view from your vehicle or take a short, easy walk to the glacier’s base. Across the road, admire the majestic snow-capped Mount Kalurong - another highlight of this alpine wonderland.

Tips for visiting Karola Glacier:

1、The altitude here is about 5,012 meters, so move slowly and avoid overexertion.

2、The public toilets are very basic - be prepared.

3、Some locals may charge a small fee for taking photos with them or their animals - always confirm before photographing.

Afterward, drive about 3.5 hours (170 km) through Gyantse, along the wide Nianchu River Valley, passing through scenic Tibetan villages, vast barley fields, and golden rapeseed flower fields (in summer). Upon arrival in Shigatse (altitude: 3845 meters), check into your hotel and rest well.

Warm Reminder:

For foreign and Taiwan travelers, registration at the Shigatse Entry & Exit Administration Office is required. Your guide will assist with the process and may adjust the schedule accordingly - please follow their instructions and cooperate as needed

      從日喀則啟程，告別後藏重鎮的人文煙火，駛入藏西高原的遼闊秘境。沿途山體逐漸褪去茂密植被，裸露出赭紅與青灰交織的岩層，在陽光下勾勒出蒼勁的肌理。行至桑桑大草原，眼前瞬間鋪展成綠色的海洋。盛夏時節，草甸開滿紫色馬先蒿與黃色格桑花，成群的犛牛、藏綿羊如散落在綠毯上的星辰，牧民的黑帳篷點綴其間，炊煙嫋嫋。偶爾有雄鷹盤旋天際，風中裹挾著青草與酥油的混合氣息，盡顯高原草原的鮮活與壯闊。繼續向西前往薩嘎，景色逐漸過渡為半荒漠地貌。公路蜿蜒在河谷與山地之間，遠處雪山群峰終年積雪，近處則是稀疏的沙棘與紅柳叢。夕陽西下時，霞光為山體鍍上金邊，草原與荒漠的交界線在暮色中若隱若現，勾勒出藏西獨有的蒼茫與雄渾。

【溫馨提示】

目的地涉外酒店數量有限，當晚住宿可能安排在薩嘎縣或仲巴縣。

After breakfast, your group will leave Shigatse - the cultural heart of western Tibet - and set out on a long but scenic drive westward to Saga Town (about 450 km, about 8 hours).

As you leave the bustling city behind, your journey heads west along the Nyanchu River Valley, historically known as the Breadbasket of Tibet. Along the way, you’ll pass through vast farmlands where barley and rapeseed flowers sway gently in the breeze, reflecting Shigatse’s long-standing reputation as the region’s granary.

Gradually, the fertile valley opens into the wide, wild beauty of the western plateau. On the way, make a stop in Sangsang Town to visit the stunning Sangsang Grassland (altitude: 4,567 meters). Here, you will encounter a vast green sea in summer. The fields bloom with purple pedicularis and yellow Galsang flowers, while herds of yaks and Tibetan sheep graze freely like stars scattered across a green carpet. Overhead, eagles circle gracefully, and the wind carries the scent of wild grass. This pure, untamed life of the Tibetan plateau will simply amaze you.

After the visit, your group will continue the drive, heading westward to Saga Town. Out of your window, you will see the distinctive landscape of alpine meadows and arid grasslands. You will also have the opportunity to gaze upon the northern peaks of the Himalayan mountain range in the distance.

You will arrive in Saga or Zhongba Town and check into your hotel.

【Warm Reminder】

The number of foreign-related hotels at the destination is limited, and the accommodation for tonight may be arranged in Saga or Zhongba.

從薩嘎/仲巴啟程，車輪碾過喜瑪拉雅北麓的公路，海拔漸次抬升。仲巴的藏式村落如經幡點綴在荒漠邊緣。仲巴沙丘在陽光下流淌，恍若打翻的礦物顏料盤。穿越公珠措，那寶藍色的湖水倒映著岡底斯山，美麗動人。

當聖湖瑪旁雍措突然出現在視線里，所有的語言都顯得貧瘠。這片“永恆不敗的碧玉湖”，是苯教、佛教、印度教共同朝見的聖湖。轉湖的藏民手持轉經筒，將信仰刻僅了每塊瑪尼石。最終抵達塔欽。

After breakfast, your group will set out along the G219 Highway. Enjoy the drive from Saga Town toward Darchen, the gateway to Mount Kailash. It is never boring on road, changing landscapes, Tibetan villages and farmlands, holy mountains and lakes.

As you leave Saga behind, the road gradually ascends along the northern foothills of the Himalayas, where the landscape unfolds in layers of color and texture. In Zhongba, small Tibetan villages appear like splashes of color against the edge of the desert, fluttering prayer flags dancing in the wind. You’ll pass through a vast dune belt (Zhongba Colorful Desert) - its sands tinted red, yellow, and white by rich minerals. Under the bright plateau sun, the dunes shimmer like silk against the distant backdrop of snowcapped mountains and winding rivers - a true visual feast.

Continuing westward, you’ll cross the shores of Lake Gongzhucuo, whose deep sapphire waters mirror the majestic Gangdise Mountains beyond. The scene feels both tranquil and otherworldly.

​

Soon after, you’ll reach one of the most sacred and breathtaking moments of your Tibetan journey: the sudden appearance of Lake Manasarovar and the legendary Mount Kailash. Rising high above the surrounding peaks, Mount Kailash’s perfectly symmetrical snow-covered cone forms a divine tableau with the shimmering lake below. Revered by Buddhism, Hinduism, Bon, and Jainism, Lake Manasarovar is believed to be the source of four of Asia’s great rivers - the Yarlung Tsangpo, Indus, Sutlej, and Karnali. Along the lakeshore, you may see pilgrims walking clockwise around the holy lake, spinning prayer wheels and chanting softly as they etch their devotion into every Mani stone along the way.

By late afternoon, arrive at Darchen Town. This is the base and starting point for the Mount Kailash Kora (pilgrimage circuit). Check into your hotel and rest well in preparation for the next spiritual circuit.

沿山谷而上，藍天、雪山一路相隨，偶爾一條河流蜿蜒流過，以最真實的觀感體驗大自然的鬼斧神工。沿途，還將看到岡仁波齊峰的西面和北面，一邊高聳入雲，另一邊層層疊疊，綿亙不絕，逶迤跋涉間，和一座山峰的奇妙相遇，淺嘗多元的獨特視野，深切體會。經過約14公里的轉山過後，抵達止熱寺，在五彩飛揚的經幡間，帶著一份對信仰的虔誠和對自然的敬畏休息入眠。

Mount Kailash, is a towering peak that rises to 6,638 meters and dominates the landscape of Western Tibet. Revered by four major religions - Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, Bon, and Jainism, this holy mountain is considered the spiritual center of the world. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is believed to be the abode of Demchok, the deity symbolizing supreme bliss. Each year, countless pilgrims make the arduous journey here to walk the 52-kilometer kora (circumambulation) around the sacred mountain, a deeply spiritual act believed to cleanse one’s sins and bring enlightenment.

Day One Trek: Darchen - Tarboche - Dira-puk Monastery

This morning, your group will take a short sightseeing bus ride from Darchen Town to Tarboche (Prayer Flag Square, 6km from the town). This is the official starting point of the kora and one of the most sacred ritual sites in Tibet. Every year during the Saga Dawa Festival ("Fourth Month" in the Tibetan calendar), hundreds of pilgrims gather here to raise the towering flagpole adorned with prayer flags, celebrating the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha Sakyamuni.

Now, begin your first day of trekking, following the Lha Chu River valley westward. The route is graced by blue skies, snow-capped peaks, and slopes dotted with mani stones engraved with sacred mantras. Along the way, you’ll see Tibetan pilgrims performing prostrations as they slowly make their way around the mountain - a moving testament to faith and devotion. This section is both physically demanding and spiritually rewarding, offering magnificent views of Mount Kailash’s western and northern faces.

As you venture deeper into the valley, the north face of Mount Kailash gradually reveals itself in full grandeur, an awe-inspiring sight that few places on Earth can rival. After trekking about 14 kilometers, you’ll arrive at Dira-puk Monastery, your destination for the day. This monastery, belonging to the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism, sits directly opposite the north face of Mount Kailash, providing an unparalleled view of the sacred mountain.

You will spend the night in a local guesthouse near Dira-puk Monastery.

Travel Notes:

1、Local Tibetans around Mount Kailash offer optional services such as horse or yak rides, and luggage transport by yaks or porters (not included in the tour price).

2、The number of people doing the Kora in the Tibetan Horse Year is relatively large; tourists with needs can inform the tour guide in advance to help make reservations.

3、During the kora, accommodation is very basic, typically in shared guesthouses or tents at Dira-puk and Dzultripuk, with limited facilities (multi-bed rooms, shared toilets, one bed per traveler).

徒步難易度：***

好好的休整一夜，充沛好體力，開始新一天的徒步。今天將穿越本次轉山海拔最高處，卓瑪拉山口（5650米），微風中的【卓瑪拉山口】各色經幡飛舞，山谷下方有一片美麗的小海子【慈悲湖】，如同一塊透明的白玉，鑲嵌在巍峨群山之間。過了卓瑪拉山口之後，就開始了下坡，體力消耗會少許多。當晚前往【祖楚寺】民宿過夜。

沿途會不約而同地遇見許多俯首叩拜的虔誠藏民，滾落山谷的碎石嗞嗞作響，行走有些艱難，那所謂的轉山路其實是藏民們用身體和雙腳在冰雪碎石間踏出的通往聖潔的點點痕跡，歲月的沉澱，通往神聖的道路行走略微艱難，可適時到家茶館稍作安歇調整體力。

Difficulty Level: * * *

Start your trekking early in this morning. Today marks the most challenging and spiritually significant day of your Mount Kailash Kora. The trail leads you on a strenuous ascent of more than 550 meters to the sacred Drolma-la Pass (5,650m) - the highest point of the entire circuit.

This demanding section tests both body and spirit. According to Tibetan Buddhist belief, successfully crossing the Drolma-la Pass symbolizes the purification of one’s sins from a lifetime. Despite the thin air and rugged terrain, pilgrims consider this moment a deep act of faith and renewal.

At the summit, you’ll be greeted by a breathtaking sight - thousands of colorful prayer flags fluttering in the wind, blanketing the pass in a sea of sacred colors. Many pilgrims pause here to rest, pray, and add their own mani stones to the growing piles of devotion.

The descent that follows is steep and rocky, leading into the Lhachu Valley. Along the way lies the shimmering Gauri Kund, a glacial lake revered in Hinduism as the bathing place of Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva. Its jade-like waters glisten serenely beneath the towering peaks.

After a short rest, continue your trek for another four hours along the riverbank until you reach Dzultri-Puk Monastery (4,810m), known as the “Miracle Cave of Milarepa.” This sacred monastery, belonging to the Sakya sect, holds ancient murals, scriptures, and legends of the great yogi Milarepa.

Spend the evening resting at the guesthouse near Dzultri-Puk. Have a good rest and prepare for the final leg of the Kora tomorrow.​

轉山第三日，隨著海拔的降低，周圍的顏色逐漸由雪白變翠綠，灌木間的小動物也開始活躍，越發濃厚的生命氣息。除了小動物，還有成堆的瑪尼石，色彩斑斕地疊放在雪山草地之間，仿佛潛心禱告的僧侶。完成最後6.6公里的徒步過後，正值中午，如若已感覺筋疲力盡饑腸轆轆可達成環保巴士返回。找個地方午餐一頓後，繼續前往札達。

Today marks the final leg of your Mount Kailash Kora - a day of completion and quiet reflection. After breakfast, you will leave Dzultri-Puk Monastery, and begin a gentle descent as the altitude gradually lowers. The stark white of the high mountain snows slowly gives way to vibrant greens of grass and shrubs, signaling your return to the realm of life and movement.

Along the trail, you may spot small animals (like groundhogs) darting among the bushes, while countless mani stones - prayer-carved rocks stacked in colorful mounds - line your path like silent guardians, echoing the devotion of generations of pilgrims. The air feels lighter, and each step brings a sense of relief and fulfillment.

After walking the final 6.6 kilometers, you’ll reach Zongdui, where your Mount Kailash circuit officially comes to an end. Here, you can board the Eco-sightseeing bus that will take you back to Darchen Town.

By midday, you’ll arrive in Darchen - tired yet deeply content - having completed one of the world’s most sacred pilgrimages. Yes, 

you did it! Great job!

In the afternoon, your journey continues toward Zanda, located in the heart of Ngari Prefecture. 230 kilometers, roughly 4.5 hours. As you leave Darchen behind, the rugged landscapes unfold into a mesmerizing panorama of eroded canyons, barren cliffs, and river valleys - a stark yet captivating portrait of Tibet’s remote western frontier.

Upon arrival in Zanda County, you’ll find yourself surrounded by an otherworldly terrain carved by wind and water over centuries. This region is not only a geological wonder but also a cultural treasure, home to the legendary Guge Kingdom ruins and the ancient Tholing Monastery, both offering deep insight into Tibet’s forgotten civilizations.

      從札達縣城出發，開啟一段藏西人文與地貌的雙重盛宴。先到【古格王朝遺址】，陽光斜灑在紅牆斷柱上，千年殘垣靜靜訴說著吐蕃後裔的興衰往事，俯身細看還能瞥見殘存的壁畫痕跡；接著走進【扎達土林】，綿延數十裏的土丘如大自然的雕塑群，溝壑間光影流轉，壯闊得讓人失語；

接著前往【霞義溝土林】，淺紅、土黃交織的岩層在藍天映襯下格外鮮活，小眾卻驚豔，隨手拍都是質感大片；最終抵達獅泉河，街道旁經幡輕動，喝杯熱飲便能驅散疲憊，在這座阿里補給小鎮，感受高原獨有的寧靜與溫暖。

​

Today, your group will first enjoy Zanda County, delving into both its ancient history and dramatic landscapes. Begin with a fascinating visit to the Ruins of the Guge Kingdom, one of Tibet’s most mysterious archaeological sites. Flourishing between the 10th and 17th centuries, Guge was once a powerful kingdom that played a vital role in spreading Buddhism across western Tibet. The site features remarkable frescoes, sculptures, and carvings that vividly depict Buddhist teachings, royal life, and historical events. As you explore, you’ll visit the Red Palace, once a major religious center with temples and monks’ quarters, and the White Palace, the royal residence of the Guge kings. The blend of Tibetan, Indian, and Chinese architectural influences is evident in the intricate murals and carvings that still adorn the walls. From the top of the ruins, enjoy a sweeping panoramic view of the entire valley - a breathtaking reminder of the kingdom’s former glory.

Afterward, continue about 20 kilometers to the awe-inspiring Zanda Earth Forest, a geological masterpiece formed by centuries of wind and water erosion. Stretching for over five kilometers along the Elephant Spring River, this surreal landscape of natural sculptures resembles warriors, galloping horses, and meditating monks. The play of light and shadow across the ridges creates endless photo opportunities.

Later, drive another 77 kilometers to the Xiayigou Earth Forest, where layers of soft red and ochre rock glow under the deep blue sky. Take a short hike down into the valley to observe the unique formations up close and capture stunning photos.

After the tour, you will be transferred to your next destination - Shiquanhe Town. This is the capital of Ngari Prefecture, where you’ll check in and rest for the night.

      從獅泉河鎮出發，開啟向改則的高原自駕之旅，盡賞藏北鹽湖與曠野風光。先經革吉縣稍作停留，感受藏北小城的寧靜；再抵聶耳措，湖面泛著鹽晶的細碎銀光，風過處漾起清淺漣漪，滿是原生態的澄澈。行至鹽湖鄉，能瞥見牧民氈房與散養的牛羊，藏地生活氣息撲面而來；登上別若則措觀景臺，俯瞰湖水隨光線變幻出藍綠漸變，與周邊土黃地貌形成鮮明對比，壯闊得讓人駐足。最後路過物瑪措，看水鳥掠過湖面，最終抵達改則縣城，在溫暖住處卸下旅途疲憊。​

​

After breakfast, bid farewell to Shiquanhe Town as your journey continues east toward Geji Town, tracing one of the most scenic routes in Northern Tibet. The day’s drive is not just a transfer - it’s a visual symphony of shifting landscapes and timeless tranquility.

Leaving the Shiquanhe Basin, the road winds through lush red willow wetlands and scattered oases, where flashes of green bring life to the plateau. Gradually, the scenery transforms into the stark grandeur of the expansive Tibetan high plains, where sky and earth seem to merge in endless silence.

En route, pause at the shimmering Nyer Tso Lake, a saltwater lake edged with brilliant white salt crystals that sparkle like snow under the sun. Here, you’ll feel the quiet majesty of the Tibetan wilderness - its air so pure and its solitude so vast that it feels almost sacred.

Continuing the drive, you’ll reach Yanhu Town, a place where the rhythm of traditional Tibetan life still beats strong. Look out for nomadic tents dotting the horizon, with yaks and sheep grazing freely across the open grasslands. Once a thriving hub of the ancient salt trade, Yanhu’s legacy dates back over a thousand years. Traders once loaded salt onto sheep and yaks along the famous “Salt Sheep Trail,” journeying across the Himalayas to barter for goods in Shigatse, Nepal, and India.

Further along, stop at the Pero Tsetso Viewpoint, where the lake below shifts from turquoise to emerald depending on the light. From this vantage point, you can often spot Tibetan wild asses and antelopes grazing along the lakeshore - a perfect chance for wildlife observation and photography.

Before reaching your destination, you’ll pass by the serene Wuma Tso Lake, its calm waters alive with graceful waterbirds gliding across the surface.

By late afternoon, arrive in Gaize Town. Have a good rest tonight. 

      從改則出發，駛入藏北羌塘的遼闊畫卷。沿途是無垠的草原，成群牛羊散落其間，遠處雪山如銀帶橫亙天際。行至洞措，湛藍湖水鑲嵌在荒原中，濕地叢生的水草間不時掠過水鳥，盡顯蒼茫中的靈動。

繼續前行，當惹雍措的藍逐漸鋪展眼前，湖水隨光影變幻出深藍、淺藍的層次，達果雪山群峰倒映湖中，聖潔而壯闊。最終抵達文佈南村，村落沿湖依山而建，土黃色民居與湛藍湖水、赭紅山體相映，古老經幡在風中飄揚，將藏北的野性與人文底蘊完美融合。

Today, after breakfast, your journey continues across the boundless expanse of Northern Tibet, a land where nature unfolds in its purest and most awe-inspiring form. As you travel deeper into this remote region, the scenery shifts dramatically - the vast Qiangtang Grassland stretches endlessly before you, merging with the rugged Gobi landscape. Herds of yaks and sheep graze freely under the open sky, while distant snow-capped peaks shimmer like silver ribbons along the horizon.

Your first stop today is Tong Tso Lake, whose name in Tibetan means “Desolate Lake.” Despite its name, the lake’s stillness exudes a unique charm - its tranquil waters mirroring the solitude and serenity of the high plateau.

As you continue your drive, the mountain ranges rise higher and more majestic, forming a breathtaking panorama of snow and sky. The road toward Tangra Yumco (Dangra Yongcuo) is one of the most spectacular in Northern Tibet. In this remote land, it’s not uncommon to encounter herds of Tibetan antelopes and wild donkeys galloping alongside the road - a truly unforgettable sight that brings the wilderness to life.

Gradually, the magnificent Tangra Yumco Lake unfolds before your eyes. Known as the most sacred lake of the Bon religion, Tangra Yumco is often described as the “soul of this route.” The lake stretches more than 70 kilometers from north to south, like a blue silk ribbon laid across the heart of Ngari. Depending on the sunlight, its waters shift through shades of deep and light blue, reflecting the snow-capped peaks of the Dargo Mountains in serene perfection. Take your time to breathe in the quiet beauty and take good photos.

After the sightseeing, be transferred to the nearby Wenbu Nancun Village (altitude: 4700 meters) for your overnight stay. The village is nestled between the mountains and the lakeshore, where earth-toned houses blend harmoniously with the azure lake and red-hued cliffs. Enjoy a quiet night by the lake and have a good sleep.

       從藏北秘境文布南村出發，村旁當穹措的碧藍湖水映著雲影，湖邊牧群悠然踱步，藏式民居與飄動的經幡相映，滿是原生態的藏地風情。接著去尋 “天空之樹”，鹽灘上自然形成的紋路如巨樹紮根大地，航拍視角下格外震撼。

        再往西藏第二大湖色林措奔去，湖面遼闊似海，水鳥掠過波光，岸邊藏原羚不時駐足，盡顯高原生機。隨後經班戈錯，靜謐湖面隨光線變幻著淡藍、淺綠的色調，與周邊草原相映成畫。最終抵達班戈縣城，在溫暖住處卸下旅途疲憊，將一路湖光山色的美好留存心間。

​

After breakfast, begin your day in Wenbu Nancun Village, where the serene beauty of the plateau unfolds before you once more. Just north of the village lies Tangqung Co Lake, known as the “sister lake” of Tangra Yumco. Here, you’ll witness a rare natural wonder - the Two-Colored Lake Phenomenon - where the water shifts magically between shades of emerald green and sapphire blue, depending on the angle of the sunlight. Along the lakeshore, herds of yaks graze peacefully, while Tibetan houses and fluttering prayer flags create a picture of harmony between humans and nature.

Continue your drive to one of Northern Tibet’s geological marvels, the “Tree of the Earth.” At first glance, the ground may appear ordinary. But from an aerial view, ancient erosion patterns form the stunning image of a colossal tree, complete with roots, trunk, and branching limbs. This extraordinary sight is a masterpiece sculpted by time, wind, and flowing water, perfectly representing the raw, desolate beauty of the Ngari highlands.

Following the route eastward, you’ll arrive at Selin Co Lake (Serling Tso) - the second-largest lake in Tibet and one of its most mystical. Often called the “Demon Lake”, local legend tells that a fierce spirit once dwelled here until subdued by the great Guru Padmasambhava. Today, the lake lies within the Qiangtang National Nature Reserve, a vast sanctuary of wildlife. Its immense surface stretches like an inland sea, glimmering under the highland sun, while black-necked cranes, Tibetan antelopes, and gazelles can often be seen along its shores.

Your journey continues to Bangkog Co Lake, part of the same lake system as Selin Co. Sitting at an elevation of around 4,693 meters, this saltwater lake mirrors the sky in soft hues of light blue and pale green, blending seamlessly with the surrounding grasslands to create an ethereal landscape.

By late afternoon, you’ll arrive in Baingoin Town (altitude: 4700 meters). Enjoy a warm and comfortable stay here.

      從班戈啟程，藏北草原的蒼茫畫卷徐徐展開。廣袤草甸鋪向天際，黑白相間的牛羊散落其間，偶有雄鷹低空掠過，盡顯高原的雄渾。駛入納木措國家風景區，紮西半島依偎著湛藍聖湖，湖水倒映著念青唐古拉雪山的倩影，經幡在崖邊獵獵作響，藏式民居點綴其間，人文與自然交融。

【納木措扎西半島景區】

    是西藏三大聖湖之一，以其極致的自然風光與深厚的人文底蘊聞名於世。湖面海拔4718米，湖水因光影與天氣變化呈現出層次分明的藍色。紮西半島——這座石灰岩構成的半島是景區核心，發育著獨特的喀斯特地貌：林立的石柱與天然石橋在湖水中若隱若現，迎賓石（夫妻石）以張開的 “雙臂” 迎接朝聖者，而蓮花生洞中的天然靈塔更添神秘色彩。半島上的紮西寺青煙繚繞，轉經路旁掛滿五彩經幡，與赭紅色山體、湛藍湖水共同構成一幅流動的唐卡。

   行至那根拉山口，站在海拔 5190 米的高處遠眺，納木措全景盡收眼底，湖水與天空連成一片，壯闊無垠。下山後一路向南，景色漸趨溫潤，河谷地帶出現成片農田與村落，最終抵達拉薩。

After breakfast, your whole group will continue your trip across the vast and windswept grasslands of Northern Tibet. The road keep remain around 4700 meters. The along scenery shows the essence of Tibet’s nomadic life. Endless meadows stretching toward the horizon, herds of black-and-white yaks grazing freely, and the occasional eagle gliding across the brilliant sky, all set against a backdrop of distant snow-capped peaks.

The drive from Baingoin county to Namtso Lake covers about 200 km (3 to 3.5 hours). As you enter the Namtso National Scenic Area, the deep-blue waters of this sacred lake unfold before you, reflecting the majestic Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain Range. Colorful prayer flags flutter in the crisp wind, and traditional Tibetan houses dot the lakeshore, very impressive.

At an elevation of 4,718 meters, Namtso Lake - meaning “Heavenly Lake” in Tibetan - is one of the three great sacred lakes of Tibet and the highest saltwater lake in China. It is revered in Tibetan Buddhism as the spiritual dwelling of a goddess. Pilgrims often visit to pray, meditate, and walk the kora around its shores. The lake’s ever-changing hues, shifting from turquoise to deep sapphire under the sunlight, make it a paradise for photography and contemplation alike.

You’ll explore the scenic Tashi Dor Peninsula, the heart of the Namtso area. This limestone peninsula features unique karst formations, with stone pillars and natural arches rising above the water. The famous “Welcoming Rock” (or Couple Stone) stands with open “arms” as if greeting travelers, while the Lotus Cave and its natural stupa add a mystical touch. On the peninsula stands Tashi Dor Monastery, shrouded in incense smoke and surrounded by colorful prayer flags that dance in the wind, creating a vivid living thangka of devotion and nature.

After your visit, begin the drive to Lhasa. Crossing the Nagenla Pass at 5,190 meters, you’ll be rewarded with a panoramic view of Namtso Lake shimmering beneath you - where the lake and sky merge into one boundless expanse.

By late afternoon, you’ll arrive back in Lhasa. This marks the end of your circle tour.​
