It is a staging post for a number of sacred pilgrimages. At this eastern extremity of the Himalayas , the mighty Tsangpo makes an abrupt turn onto itself. The uncommon congruence of high mountains and Tibet 's most powerful water course creates one of the deepest gorges in the world. It is a superb area for pilgrims and plant-hunters. With this package tour, you can visit the sacred tree of Bon (the indigenous religion in Tibet )-Kushuk Demdrug in Ningchi, as well as view the great Mt. Namche Barwa from long distance. Meanwhile, botanically, appreciate the exotic scene of lush rhododendron along with famous Lulang forest-so called Tibet 's "Shangri-La"
