Eight Days in Tibet
This concise introduction to Tibet and its stalwart culture concentrates on the country’s heartland: an introductory night in Tsedang and the Yarlung Valley, three nights in Lhasa, and then through gargantuan Himalayan scenery to the great temples and monasteries of Gyantse and Shigatse via a picnic brunch at famously blue Yamdrok Lake. Heinrich Harrer—his classic book is more than ever a great read—spent seven years in Tibet, but in this modern era it’s possible to visit many of Tibet’s great sights and sites in a mere eight days.
