Gyama valley is a broad agricultural
tributary of the Kyi Chu river, situated to the
east of Lhasa. Barley fields sprawl across this
valley floor, which is splendid with small villages,
settlements and temples, including the shrine
commemorating the birthplace of Song Tsen Gampo.
It costs 4 days walk from Gyama to Samye and is
one of the finest treks in central Tibet. After
visiting Samye Monastery, we will trek across
Yarlung Tsangpo River and drive to Tsetang. The
next morning we will go to Lhasa.. From Lhasa,
we continue our journey by driving to Tashido
near Namtso Lake and camp there for one night.
From Namstso Lake it will take 3 days to trek
to the town of Damshung via the Kong-La pass,
a route that is simply unforgettable.
