Tp.HCM: Tibet - EBC 14/10 -25/10 2015
chào các bạn,
Mình theo dõi thấy có nhiều bạn ở TP. HCM có nhu cầu đi tibet mùa thu 2015 nên mạn phép lập topic rủ rê cùng đi cho vui. Chuyến đi dự kiến 12 ngày, số người giới hạn 8 người. Chuơng trình cụ thể như sau:
Day 01：Arrival in Lhasa by plane/train
Our local Tibetan guide will wait you at Lhasa airport or railway station holding your name sign. You will be greeted with a warm Tashidelek(meaning hello with blissing), and be presented with a white Hada(traditional Tibetan ceremonial by give you a white scarf). Then transfer to hotel in Lhasa city. To rest well on your first arrival in Lhasa(3650m) is essential to ease Acute Mountain Sickness(AMS, also known as altitude sickness). Try your best to resist the temptation of going out.
Overnight in Lhasa.
Day 02: Lhasa City
Highlights: Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Street, Tibetan Thangka Studio
Potala Palace: Lhasa’s cardinal landmark, Potala Palace is one of the great wonders of world architecture. As has been the case with centuries of Pilgrims before you, the first sight of the fortress-like structure will be a magical moment that you will remember for a long time. Entry to Potala is up two steep access ramps that will soon leave you wheezing in the oxygen-depleted air. Travel light and not to worry abt your water supplies for there are bottled mineral water for sell all along the way up to the top of Potala.
Jokang Temple: also known in Tibetan as the Tsuglhakhang, Jokhang Temple is the most revered religious structure in Tibet. Thick with yak butter, the murmur of mantras and the shuffling of wide-eyed pilgrims, Jokhang is an unrivalled Tibetan experience. In front of the entrance to Jokhang is a forecourt that is perpetually crowded with pilgrims polishing the flagstones with their prostrations.
Barkhor Street: Barkhor is a quadrangle of streets that surroungs the Jokhang complex. It is an area unrivalled in Tibet for its fascinating combination of sacred significance and push-and shove market economics. This is both the spiritual heart of the Holy City & the main shopping district for Tibetans.
Tibetan Thangka Studio: Thangka is a painting on silk with embroidery, usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala of some sort. The thankga is not a flat creation like an oil painting or acrylic painting but consists of a picture panel which is painted or embroidered over which a textile is mounted and then over which is laid a cover, usually silk. Generally, thangkas last a very long time and retain much of their lustre.
Overnight in Lhasa.
Day 03: Lhasa Suburb
Highlights: Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery, Tibet Museum
Drepung Monastery: abt 8km west of central Lhasa, Drepung was once one of the world’s largest monasteries. The word Drepung literally translates as ‘rice heap’, a reference to the huge numbers of white monastic buildings that once piled up on the hill side.
Sera Monastery: approximately 5km north of central Lhasa, Sera Monastery was one of Lhasa’s two great Gelugpa monasteries, second only to Drepung. Between 3pm~5pm of Monday to Friday, debating is held in the monastery’s debating courtyard, which is a sight so extraordinary and enchanting even you don’t understand a word they’re saying.
Tibet Museum: It is the official museum of the Tibet Autonomous Region in Lhasa. Inaugurated on October 5, 1999, it is the first large, modern museum in the Tibet Autonomous Region. It has a permanent collection related to the cultural history of Tibet. The museum has a collection of around 1000 artefacts, from examples of Tibetan art to architectural design throughout history such as Tibetan doors and beams.
Overnight in Lhasa.
Day 04: Lhasa > Gyantse
Highlights: Yamdrok Lake, Karola Glacier, Pala Manor
Yamdrotso Lake: dazzling Yamdro-tso(elev 4441m) is normally first seen from the summit of the Kamba-la(4700m). The lake lies several hundreds meters below the road, and in clear weather is fabulous shade of deep turquoise. Far in the distance is the huge massif of Mt. Nojin Kangtsang(7191m).
Karola Glacier: Mt Nojin Kangsang stands tall with an elevation of 7,191 m (23,592 ft) between Gyantze County and Nagarzê County, with several snow-capped mountains over 6,000 m (19,685 ft) surrounding it. Mount Nojin Kangsang is the most accessible glacier site on the Tibetan Plateau. The famous Kharola Glacier (elevation 5,560 m or 18,241 ft) is below the south ridge of Nojin Kangsang.
Pala Manor: a place that will give you something of an insight into the lifestyle of the wealthy landowning people who once lived in Tibet. Pala Manor we see today has fifty-seven houses on an estate with an area of approximately 5000 square metres. The main building is a three-storey structure that includes a scripture hall, reception hall, and bedrooms. In addition to the lobby used for playing the Chinese game of Majiang there are many other reception halls. The maze of rooms is richly decorated with exquisitely carved beams and painted rafters.
Overnight in Gyantse.
Day 05: Gyantse > Shigatse
Highlights: Pelkor Chöde Monastery with Gyantse Kumbum, Gyantse Dzong, Shalu Monastery
Pelkor Chöde Monastery with Gyantse Kumbum: the sprawling compound in the far north of town houses Pelkor Chöde Monastery and the monumental Gyantse Kumbum, a chörten filled with fine paintings and statues. Both are deservedly top of the list on most travellers’ must-sees. Palkhor lies at the foot of Dzong Hill. It is well-known for its Kumbum, which has 108 chapels in its four floors. The multi-storied Kumbum Stupa was crowned with a golden dome and umbrella, surrounded with more chapels filled with unique religious statues and murals.
Gyantse Dzong: like most Tibetan towns, Gyantse radiates old-world charm when its whitewashed buildings are viewed from on high. So the stiff 20-min climb to the top of Gyantse Dzong is worth the effort for the great lookouts. In the addition to Gyantse, clear views are afforded of the entire fertile Nyang—chu Valley and down into the compound of Pelkor Chöde Monastery.
Shalu Monastery: it’s a treat for the traveller when a sight is both a pleasure to explore & of great importance in local history and culture. Such is Shalu, which dates back to the 11th century. In the abstract, the design of Shalu represents the paradise of Chenresig(Avalokiteshvara), a haven from all wordly suffering. In the concrete, Shalu is the only monastery in Tibet that combines Tibetan and Chinese styles in its design.
Overnight in Shigatse.
Day 06: Shigatse > Tingri > Rongbuk > EBC
Highlights: Tashihunpo Monastery, Rongbuk Monastery
Tashilhunpo Monastery: it is a real pleasure to explore the busy cobble lanes twisting around the aged buildings. Covering 70,000 sq meters, Tashilunpo is essentially a walled town in its own right. from the entrance to the monastery, visitors get a grand view. Above the white monastic quarters is a crowed of ochre buildings topped with gold—the tombs of the past Panchen Lamas. To the right, and higher still, is the festival Thangka Wall that is hung with massive, colourful thangkas during festivals.
Rongphu Monastery: Rongphu(elev 4900m) is the main Buddhist centre in Everest region and once coordinated the activities of around a dozen smaller religious institutions, all of which are now ruined. It was established in 1902 by a Nyingmapa lama. While not of great antiquity, Rongbu can at least lay claim to being the highest monastery in Tibet and thus the world. Some of the interior murals of Rongphu are superb. Rongphu and its large chörten makes a great photograph with Everest thrusting its head skyward in the background.
Overnight in EBC.
Day 07: EBC > Tingri > Shigatse
Highlights: Everest Base Camp
Everest Base Camp: endowed with springs, Everest Base Camp(elev 5150m) has a couple of permanent structures and a small army base. Clamber up the small hill festooned with prayer flags for great views of the star attraction, Mt. Everest, then have your photo taken at the base camp marker, reads ‘Mt. Qomolangma Base Camp’.
Overnight in Shigatse.
Day 08: Shigatse > Namtso
Highlights: Namtso Lake
Namtso Lake: Namtso(elev 4730m) is the second-largest saltwater lake in China and one of the most beautiful natural sights in Tibet. It is over 70km long, reaches a width of 30km and is 35km at its deepest point. When the ice melts in late April, the lake is a miraculous shade of turquoise and there are magnificent views of nearby mountains. The wide open spaces, dotted with the tents of local nomads, are intoxicating.
Overnight in Namtso.
Day 09: Namtso > Yampachen > Lhasa
Highlights: Yampachen Hot Spring
Yampachen Hot Spring: Yangbajain is a small town abt 87km north-west of Lhasa. The town lies just south of the Nyainqêntanglha Mountains, in an upland lush green valley surrounded by the tents of nomads with grazing yak and sheep populating the hillside. The area is famous for the Yangbajain Hot Springs(Entrance Fee included), which have been harnessed to produce much of the electricity for the capital Lhasa. Yangbajain hot springs field is at an altitude of 4290–4500m which makes it the highest altitude set of hot springs in China, and possibly the world. The highest temperature inside the drilling hole is 125.5°C. Both indoor and outdoor swimming pools have been set up here, in which visitors can enjoy a bath. (Bathing Fee excluded: CNY 98).
Overnight in Lhasa.
Day 10: Departure from Lhasa by plane/train
