We leave early morning and ride along the spectacular Yarlong River. Hardly a vehicle or village in sight, so it’s just you, the road, and the river.
You’ll notice the vegetation gradually changes today from lush pine forests to dry rocky cliff faces, and even some sand dunes. Today’s road twists and turns and its undulation urges you to get out of the saddle and accelerate. The snowy peaks in the distance remind you you’re riding in one of the highest places on earth.
Today we take a chill day and ride to one of the oldest Monasteries in Tibet.
We arrive in Lhasa late afternoon at our 5-star hotel and explore the old town of Lhasa on foot. The sights and sounds are guaranteed to inspire, and don’t forget to say a silent prayer for good legs and favorable winds as you spin the prayer wheels!
A day off the bike visiting the cultural icons of Lhasa. The visit to the Potala Palace (the spiritual home of the Dalai Lama) will be the cultural highlight of the trip. Afterward, we’ll wander down to a hip coffee shop popular with young Tibetans.
Rise early and leave for Tibet’s famous azure-colored lake. We ride along the shore of the lake before conquering a 5000m pass. The road travels by the glacier before dipping down into a majestic valley. It’s one of the most scenic days of riding on the trip. Our destination hotel is oozing with so much old-world charm you won’t want to leave.
Rise early and visit the authentic old quarters. Then it’s 98km along the mostly flat and fast road. The last climb over the bridge into town is a hotly contested KOM. We are riding at 4000m today–the air is thin which means fast speeds on the flat.
In the afternoon rest & relax in your hotel or visit the local monastery.
Time to say good-bye! We fly out of Tibet and back to Chengdu China today.
