As I had done the Everest base camp for Nepal I had to do for Tibet side.
I was unable to take the train from Xian to Lhasa, as it was packed so I decided to go by plane.
Quiet trip and you could see from the top that the place looks like a great desert.
The road to Lhasa is good.
Lhasa after China control became two parts.
One very modern and the other traditional.
I stayed in the most traditional part, where you can still see what Tibet was like.
I visited several temple and the most famous is Potala palace, official home of the 14th Dalai lama who is now in Dharamsala in India
On the other hand, control of China is immense. Anything that needs to be done must be authorized.
I had to obtain authorization to enter Lhaza, to leave Lhasa and another for the Everest region. On the way there are several checkpoints.
The way back to China, I took the longest train journey here, it was 44 hours to Beijing.
