Visit the Potala Palace at the reserved time, exploring its history and architecture. Rest around the park below and view the palace exterior. Walk through Barkhor in the afternoon to understand the old town and its living traditions. Follow on-site visit arrangements.
Head east from Lhasa into forested valleys, visiting Basum Tso by open paths and required scenic-area transport. Introduce the lake and island-temple traditions before continuing to Nyingchi. Shorten the lake visit if travel takes longer than planned.
Travel through Lulang’s open viewpoints and villages towards forested Bomi. Leave time for roadworks, rain and traffic controls. Photograph only from permitted stopping places and keep off the carriageway. Rest after reaching Bomi.
Continue by the approved road from Bomi to Ranwu Lake, stopping at open lakeside viewpoints. Water colour varies with weather, season and sediment; blue ice is not promised. Stay out of ice lakes and closed sensitive areas and confirm local lodging facilities.
Follow this eastern cultural stage only after road access and visitor accommodation have been confirmed. Respect town and village life and visit monasteries only within permitted areas. On long road days, limit stops and allow breaks. Unapproved sections must be replaced by an agreed accessible route. Photographs illustrate regional landscapes, not a specific monastery interior.
