西藏アリ南線15日間ツアー_アリ南線十五日間ツアー最適ルートと費用及び旅行攻略

Welcome to Lhasa, the holy city of the snowy plateau (elevation 3,650 meters). Our driver will greet you outside Lhasa Railway Station (Airport) and take you to the hotel for check-in. After checking in that day, it is recommended not to wash your hair or take a shower, reduce activity, slow everything down, relax, and first let your body adapt to the high-altitude environment.

In the morning, you will visit the Potala Palace, the highest ancient palace-fortress architectural complex in the world. Climb up along the long staircases, overlooking Lhasa as you go, taking in the grandeur of the city at a glance. While taking photos and resting, you will then enter the Potala Palace with a professional guide to explore this mysterious and ancient palace for which very few images are shown online. In the afternoon, you will visit the Jokhang Temple, the holy site in the hearts of Tibetan Buddhist believers. The Jokhang Temple houses the life-size statue of Shakyamuni at age 12, which was brought from Kathmandu by Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal, whom the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo married at the time. After leaving the Jokhang Temple, you can browse the handicraft market on Barkhor Street, choose souvenirs, or wander aimlessly and find a sweet tea house, sit by the window, and enjoy tea and daydreaming at leisure. Lhasa's sunlight pours down from the transparent blue sky, enough to clear away all troublesome and negative emotions. A friendly reminder - Potala Palace tickets use a pre-purchase system and have fixed visiting times. We will flexibly adjust the itinerary according to the actual reserved visiting time. Entering the Potala Palace requires passing through a security check. Dangerous items are strictly prohibited, and photography is not allowed inside the Potala Palace.

After breakfast, you will follow the guide to visit Drepung Monastery, one of the six great monasteries of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. [Drepung Monastery], together with Ganden Monastery and Sera Monastery, is known as one of the three great monasteries of Lhasa. The entire monastery is grand in scale, with rows of white buildings spreading across the hillside, looking from afar like a huge pile of rice, hence the name Drepung. Every year around the end of the sixth and beginning of the seventh month of the Tibetan calendar, Drepung Monastery holds a grand Buddha-unveiling ceremony, which is the famous Shoton Festival. In the afternoon, you will visit Sera Monastery, one of the six main monasteries of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. [Sera Monastery] preserves tens of thousands of Vajra Buddha statues, among which the most famous statue, the "Hayagriva" Vajra image, is located in the protector deity hall of the Gyi Dratsang. Local people put their heads into a small shrine and touch the base of the statue with their heads. Besides the solemnity of the monastery, Sera Monastery also has another major feature, namely the debating activities of the monks in the monastery. In the center of the debate courtyard, lamas are debating knowledge; some urge the other side to answer with forceful clapping, while others pull prayer beads to use their power to defeat the opponent. Standing in the debate courtyard, you are surrounded by lively sounds. Although tourists cannot understand their Zen meaning, they can truly feel the faith and power of Tibetan Buddhism. The debate usually starts at 15:00. If the monastery temporarily holds Dharma assemblies or other activities, or receives special guests, the debate activities may be canceled. Please understand!!!

In the morning, you will depart from Lhasa, cross the 4,990-meter-high Gambala Snow Mountain, gaze at the Gambala Radar Station from afar, and follow the old road to [Yamdrok Lake], the highest freshwater lake in the world and known as the holy lake in heaven. Yamdrok Lake, in Tibetan, means "Jade Lake." The lake water is as clear as mutton fat and sweet enough to drink. The deep blue lake merges with the distant snow mountains, and together with the varied mountain ranges on both banks, the highly distinctive Tibetan villages, and the livestock everywhere, the journey is refreshing and delightful. After lunch in Nagarze County, you will continue to [Karo La Glacier], hanging on the mountain wall. The ice tongue of Karo La Glacier has already extended to the road surface, so by the roadside you can see the snow-white glacier like a giant thangka, creating a powerful visual impact. Then continue all the way to Gyantse, the town of anti-British heroes. This is an ancient city with a history of more than 600 years and also a transportation stronghold from U-Tsang to Tsang. Here you can gaze at the [Gyantse Dzong Anti-British Site] from afar and visit [Pelkor Chode Monastery], the only one that integrates Tibet's three major sects and is known for its exquisite murals and carvings, the Hundred Thousand Buddha Stupa. Then drive to Shigatse, Tibet's second-largest city. Exquisite murals and carvings, the Hundred Thousand Buddha Stupa [Pelkor Chode Monastery]. Then drive to Shigatse, Tibet's second-largest city.

After breakfast, you will drive through Lhatse, the golden peak first illuminated by light, and cross the Gyatso La Snow Mountain at an elevation of 5,220 meters, arriving in Tingri County at the northern foot of the middle section of the Himalayas, at the foot of Mount Everest. Here the mountains rise in layered ridges and the snow peaks are towering. Afterwards, you will arrive at the world's highest Mount Everest Nature Reserve and visit the world's highest temple - 【Rongbuk Monastery】 at an elevation of 4,900 meters, looking south toward Mount Everest. This is also recognized as the best place to look up at Mount Everest. Then you will take an eco-friendly bus to stay at 【Everest Base Camp】 at an elevation of 5,200 meters. At dusk, as night gradually shrouds the mountains, only the summit of Mount Everest shines in the sunset like the goddess's golden crown in the sky, allowing you to enjoy the honor of standing atop the roof of the world, unmatched on Earth. At night, stay in the tent area at Everest Base Camp. When night covers the earth, if you are awake, you might as well step out of the tent and enjoy the bright moonlight and brilliant starry sky.

In the early morning, while the peaks are still sleeping in the dawn, you will travel with the first rays of morning glow rising over Mount Everest through the majestic, magnificent, and winding Himalayan range. In the desolation and silence, you will cross the 5,200-meter-high Gyawu La Pass. Here you can see the spectacular sight of four snow mountains over 8,000 meters arranged in a row. From left to right, these four snow mountains are: Makalu (8,463 meters); Lhotse (8,516 meters); Mount Everest (8,848 meters); and Cho Oyu (8,201 meters). Afterwards, accompanied by Shishapangma, you will head toward Saga. Along the way, you will pass a roadside plateau lake, [Peiku Tso], and then arrive in Saga.

In the early morning, facing the first ray of sunlight, you will head west along National Highway 219 to Tarchen. On the way, you will pass through Payang Town under Zhongba County. This is a small town with a strong western style and also the highest town in the world, at an altitude of 4,700 meters. Along the way, you can enjoy the vast grassland scenery and gradually enter the embrace of the sacred mountain [Mount Kailash] and the holy lake [Lake Manasarovar], and head to the ghost lake [Rakshastal]. Overnight in Tarchen.

Tarchen (altitude 4,675 m) heading west → Two-Legged Buddha Stupa, Prayer Flag Pole → Chuku Monastery (altitude 4,860 m) → Zhire Monastery (altitude 5,210 m) In the early morning, you will take an eco-friendly bus from Tarchen, going deep into the valley to prepare for the kora trek. In the valley, yaks and horses are available for people to experience, and there are also luggage porters to make things convenient for guests carrying large luggage. Heading up along the valley, blue skies and snow mountains accompany you all the way, with an occasional river winding past, offering the most authentic sensory experience of nature's uncanny workmanship. Along the way, you will also see the west and north faces of Mount Kailash, one side towering into the clouds, while the other side is layered and endless. During the winding trek, the wonderful encounter with a mountain peak lets you sample a unique, multifaceted perspective and experience it deeply. After about 22 kilometers of kora, you will arrive at Zhire Monastery, where among the fluttering colorful prayer flags, you will sleep with devotion to faith and reverence for nature. Warm tip: The tour fee does not include horseback riding, yak riding, or the cost of hiring yaks or porters for luggage carrying. If needed, guests must pay separately.

Zhire Temple (elevation 5,210 meters) → Sky Burial Site → Drolma La Pass Mani Pile (elevation 5,630 meters) → Chuzu Temple (elevation 4,810 meters) After a good night's sleep, you will begin another day of trekking. Today you will cross the highest point of this kora, Drolma La Pass (5,630 meters). Along the way, you will inevitably encounter many devout Tibetans bowing in prostration. The snow- and ice-covered path is somewhat slippery, and falling gravel rattles as it rolls down the valley, making the walk somewhat difficult. That so-called kora path is actually the traces leading to holiness worn by Tibetans with their bodies and feet through ice, snow, and gravel. With the accumulation of time, walking the path to the sacred is slightly difficult, so you can rest for a while at a teahouse when appropriate and recover your strength. At 【Drolma La Pass】 in the breeze, prayer flags of various colors flutter. Below the valley is a beautiful small lake: 【Togye Tso】. This is a lake of compassion, like a transparent white jade inlaid among the towering mountains. After passing Drolma La Pass, the descent begins, and physical exertion will be much less. Trek back along the kora route to Zhire Temple and stay overnight at the 【Zuchu Temple】 guesthouse.

Zutrul Phuk Monastery (altitude 4,810 meters) -> Tarchen (altitude 4,675 meters) Today is the third day of the kora. As the altitude decreases, the surrounding colors gradually change from snowy white to emerald green. Small animals begin to become active among the shrubs, and the breath of life grows stronger. Besides small animals, there are also piles of mani stones, colorfully stacked between the snow mountains and grasslands, like monks quietly praying. After completing the final 7 kilometers of hiking, it will be around noon. If you already feel exhausted and hungry, you can take an environmentally friendly bus back. After finding a place for lunch, continue on to Zanda.

Return all the way from Tarchen to Saga. Along the way, icy peaks and snowy ridges can be seen everywhere, and cliffs and precipices are found at every turn. The unique plateau scenery irresistibly attracts countless explorers to conquer, experience, and appreciate it. Along the way, Tibetan children show smiles as bright as the plateau sunshine, and their pure eyes are like the clear blue sky. These are the days when we are closest to the sky.

Today there is no particular scenic area; all the beautiful scenery is along the way. On both sides of the speeding road, heavenly views can be seen everywhere. Open your eyes, open your heart, and embrace the gifts nature gives us.

After breakfast, you will drive to visit 【Tashilhunpo Monastery】, the seat of successive Panchen Lamas. The monastery enshrines the world's largest indoor bronze seated Buddha statue, the Maitreya Buddha, which was built in 1914 under the supervision of the Ninth Panchen Lama, Chokyi Nyima. It also treasures Buddhist scriptures written in gold powder, such as the Kangyur and Tengyur. For more than five hundred years, Tashilhunpo Monastery has attracted numerous Buddhist believers and visitors from home and abroad to worship and view it. After visiting Tashilhunpo Monastery, you will head along the Yarlung Tsangpo River toward Namtso, the "Heavenly Lake."

Tonight, stay at a lakeside family guesthouse on Tashi Island at Namtso, enjoying an endless Milky Way and countless stars competing in splendor in the night sky.

In the early morning, you can face the rising sun and stroll along the shore of Namtso, enjoying the beautiful sunrise over Namtso. Afterwards, accompanied by the distant Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, you will leave Namtso with deep reluctance and prepare to return to Lhasa. Along the way, you will pass Yangbajing. [Yangbajing] is a world-famous geothermal area, where the meeting of heat and the cold of the plateau creates a wonderful natural spectacle. Here you can experience the charm of a high-altitude hot spring. In the evening, accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun, you will return to Lhasa.
