This fly in/fly out tour of Central Tibet follows a circular
route from Tsedang to Lhasa, exploring the Yarlung Tsangpo
Valley, the cradle of Tibetan civilization, and then proceeding
on the southern route past Yamdrok Tso, the Turquoise Lake,
to the historical towns of Gyangtse & Shigatse. From
Shigatse we take the Northern route through the scenic,
rugged countryside of the nomads, culminating our tour in
Lhasa, the forbidden city.
