The day starts mellow, following the Lhasa River a bit further, then turns south up and over our first pass, Kamba La at 4750 m. The view from the top of turquoise Yamdrok Lake is spectacular and balance of the day was cycling along this sacred lake.

Many highways are nicely lined by trees, providing both wind blocks and shade.
