Today we departed Bayi, and first stopped at the scenic Tsodzong Monastery, set in the middle of the gorgeous blue Draksum-tso (lake) and surrounded by snow capped mountains.
There’s some nice sites, including a holy tree, a sky burial site, and some ancient male and female fertility symbols.
We then proceeded to climb our highest pass - 16,500 feet, and the Kongpo Bala pass.
Karsten brought a bottle of Yunnan to celebrate, and it quickly went to his head.
Harry threw some prayers into the wind…
Jen and John hung prayer flags…
Our drivers and guides enjoying the view (not partaking in the Yunnan Red!)
We descended and drove through some more spectacular scenery…
before finally arriving… in… Lhasa!!
