One of the most popular Lhasa valley treks, this follows the ancient pilgrimage route that linked Tibet's first monastery Samy with the holy city of Lhasa. Taking seven to nine days, this trek crosses a 5000 meters pass and starts in the Gyama valley, the birthplace of Songtsen Gampo, Tibet's most famous emperor.
It costs 4 days walk from Gyama to Samye and is one of the finest treks in central Tibet. After visiting Samye Monastery, we will trek across Yarlung Tsangpo River and drive to Tsetang. The next morning we will go to Lhasa.. From Lhasa, we continue our journey by driving to Tashido near Namtso Lake and camp there for one night. From Namstso Lake it will take 3 days to trek to the town of Damshung via the Kong-La pass, a route that is simply unforgettable.
