To accomplish all the trekkings in Tibet, we must drive or fly from Kathmandu to Tibetan land first. Hence this trip begins with a flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa directly. You'll spend four days in Lhasa including sightseeing tours that covers the visit of the spiritual centers of Tibet: the Jokhang Temple, Sera monasteries, Norbulinka Palce and Drepung monasteries & the Potala Palace.
You will be spending next five days in the trekking section which begins a 45 km drive to Ganden from Lhasa, we visit the monastery, one of the main Gelugpa sect of Buddhism. This five days trek crosses 2 over 5000m passes enroute and the total trekking distance is 80 KM. This trek has a perfect combination of elevation, moisture and aspect.
Upon arriving in Samye, we visit the the monastery-the only monastery that represents Nyingmapa sect of Buddhism (red capped).
