It is advised to start the journey a little earlier in the morning. So in most of the cases, we leave Lhasa at 7 in the morning after having breakfast at your hotel. By 11:00 Am you will reach the Kampa-la pass (4700 m). The car will stop here for some time of the beautiful view to Yamdrok Lake below the pass and the mighty mount Mount Nojin Kangtsang (7191 meters). After some time at the pass for the picture, we will then drive down to the lake. It is about a 15 minutes drive, and we will descend about 700 meters to the shore. We will stop at the shore, and you will have some time to enjoy the beautiful lake from its shore.

After the lake, we will continue to drive to the Nangartse town for lunch. From Yamdrok lake to Nangartse is 50 km and we will drive along the shore until we divert to the town. If you are travelling during the winter, you can see lots of wild birds on this road. It is advised to bring a binocular if you are the bird lover. Once when we reach the town we will stop here for lunch, and after lunch, you can explore this little Tibetan town for sometimes.

We will stop the Karola Glacier after lunch. Karola is one of the nearest glaciers you will see in this tour. From the glacier, we will then continue to Gyantse town. You will reach the Gyantse town about the 3:00 pm. We will then check in to our hotel for the night and then we will continue to visit the Gyantse Palchoe monastery and Kumbum stupa. Visiting the monastery would take about one and a half hours. If you still have some energy, we can see the Gyantse fort.
