Day 8. 16.9.07. Gyantse to Shigatse 3900 m., 12,795 ft.

We spend the morning exploring Gyantse and it's magnificent 'Kumbum' - the Stupa of 100,000 Buddhas, 600 years old.
Gyantze Dzong towers over the town.




From Gyantse it's a 90 minute drive to Shigatse - the home of the Panchen Lamas - except the current one who is a prisoner of the chinese.
