Day 7 Chengdu - Lhasa

Attractions: Yarlong Tsangpo River

Meal: Not Included

Hotel: Overnight in Lhasa

Today is free until your guide shows you to catch your flight to Lhasa. Upon arrival, your guide will meet you at the arrival hall and escort you to your hotel in downtown Lhasa for spectacular views along the Yarlong Tsangpo River. It is the longest plateau river in China, located in the Tibet Autonomous Region, and one of the highest rivers in the world. Originating in the northern foot of the Himalayas in southwest Tibet, the Jamayangdzong Glacier, known as the Maquan River upstream, runs from west to east across southern Tibet, bypasses the easternmost peak of the Himalayas, turns south and flows out of China via Basika. Water energy reserves are abundant, second only to the Yangtze River in China.

After checking in, we will leave you a full day to recover yourself of the high attitude and cold weather, make sure you get great sleep and get ready for our trip.
