We were sad to leave our Kyichu hotel in Lhasa but we have to move on. Our day will mostly be a 6hr drive to Gyantse and it involves crossing two high passes, one at 15,700ft bad the second at 16,500ft, both of which are way higher than I have ever been outside of a plane. So far the altitude has not been a problem, maybe a little more tiring climbing stairs, so I am hoping it stays that way.
The road also follows the beautiful Yamdrok Tso Lake for 40 miles, with views of the snow topped mountains. According to our guide the lake changes color from the blue to white, but she did not explain how this happened.At certain places along the shore, people had stacked stones added one at a time, and said prayers for themselves as it is considered a sacred place.
