2 Days Eastern Tibet Highlight

Attractions; Lonely nomad tents near Mila Pass, the fertile valley of Nyintri along the Nyiyang River, and Lamaling monastery.

We will leave Lhasa around 7 or 8 in the morning for Nyintri as there are several speed-limiting checkpoints along the road and traverse the Mila pass(5000m). Further, driving into the valley drops the altitude and helps the prevention of altitude sickness.

At the same time, the beautiful valley with thick forest and clear rivers finally lead you to Nyitri town, a number of typical photogenic villages lined along the route. Upon our arrival in Nyitri, we check into the hotel and visit Lamaling monastery.

It is the seat of Dudjom Rinpoche who is the former head of the Nyingmapa sect (one of the four sects of Tibetan Buddhism). The original monastery was on top of the ridge of the hill and it was destroyed by an earthquake and then later it was built down at the foot of the hill. The octagonal main temple has been wonderfully restored and rises through four stories. Then continues rest and acclimatize. Overnight in Nyintri.
