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.
