 Day by Day Itinerary

Departure: Daily 
 
Day 01: Arrival in Lhasa
Arrive in Lhasa and get prepared. Stay overnight at the local hotel. 
 

Day 02: Lhasa - Gyangtse
The road to Gyantse meanders down through the Kyichu Valley to Yarlong Tsampa (Brahmaputra) River before climbing over Khama La Pass at 4,900 m (16,076 ft).Stop to take a breath in this majestic topography - the serene turquoise lake of Yamdrok Tso with a backdrop of snow-topped mountains. Before reaching Gyantse, you will make one more ascent over Karo La at 5,200 m (17,060 ft). 

 
Day 03: Gyangtse - Shigatse
Here you will soak up the old-world atmosphere of Tibetan rural life. For centuries, this town has dominated the wool and timber trade routes from Nepal, Sikkim and Bhutan. Explore the 14-15th century fortress and temples, most notably the Gyantse Kumbum, the Stupa of 100,000 Deities, which is one of Tibet's most famous architectural achievements. In the afternoon head to Shigatse. 

 
Day 04: Shigatse 
Shigatse is pleasantly covered in trees, a view which is quite rare in Tibet. The city is divided into two parts - the charming old town retaining old Tibetan homes lining the narrow streets and the newer commercial district with department stores and karakoke bars. Take the whole day to tour around the grand Tashilhunpo Monastery, which was founded by Pachen Lama I in 1447 and remains the center of the Shigatse's community. 

 
Day 05: Shigatse - Lhatse  
Leave Shigatse in the morning for Lhatse. 
 

Day 06: Lhatse - Saga
Drive to Saga. Saga, meaning 'Happy Land', is situated along the Tsangpo River in a region crisscrossed by the upper Brahmaputra and its tributaries. The land becomes rugged, the air thinner and the sky endless and impossibly blue. 

 
Day 07: Saga - Paryang 
Drive to Paryang in the heart of western Tibet, where the four great rivers of South Asia diverge from their glacial sources around Mount Kailash. During the rainy season, the roads to Paryang are likely to be washed out by floods, in which case you may need to drive the truck through a 30 cm (11.7 inches)deep stream.

Day 10-11: Mt. Kailash - Darchen - Lake Manasorovar
The highest pass of the hike is at 5,600 meters (18,373 ft), an altitude at which walking can become quite a demanding task. Move at a slow pace and take plenty of breaks along the way. Return to Darchen and drive to Lake Manasorovar to camp for the night.
