Tashilhunpo has a 26-meter golden Buddha and a 3km kora path with local pilgrims. Samdruptse Old Market sells dried yak meat and medicinal herbs — zero English signs. https://tibetgo.org/guides/yamdrok-lake-lurila-viewpoint-guide2026-07-17T00:18:51.000Zmonthly0.7https://tibetgo.org/images/guides/guide-yamdrok.jpgYamdrok Lake: Skip Gangbala Pass, Go to Lurila Viewpoint InsteadTour groups stop at Gangbala Pass for 10 minutes.
