Epic journey across the roof of the world
It was an adventure of a lifetime! We had two full days to explore Lhasa, and each day was not too jam-packed, with just two key sites each. Then began our epic westward quest, passing stunning sites such as Yamdrok lake, and chains upon chains of stunning mountain ranges. I can't even say that Everest was the most stunning, simply because there were so many beautiful mountains along the way. A huge part of why the trip was so wonderful was our warm and knowledgeable guide, Sonam Temphal. He is always ready with a hearty laugh and made our whole group feel welcome. He speaks several languages, and his anecdotes and facts were fascinating and engaging. When my elderly father struggled to climb the Potala Palace, he was with him every step of the way to make sure he didn't fall, all while ensuring the rest of us got to appreciate the key historical and political significance of the palace. Thank you again for a wonderful tour!
