Friendship Highway (Tibet)
- Friendship Highway (Tibet)
The Friendship Highway is a celebrated route in the Tibetan Plateau, renowned for its scenic wonders. The highway itself starts from Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region, passing the turquoise Yamdrok Lake lake, before connecting to Shigatse, the home of the Panchen Lama, via Gyantse. The road forks after this, with one branch heading west to the city of Ali. The other branch continues south, past Shegar, New Shegar, and to Rongphu Monastery near Everest Base Camp. From here the road continues on to the Nepali border at Zhangmu, and Kathmandu.
The scenery on the highway features inspired vistas of the snow-capped Himalayas, vast grasslands and meadows, and other unforgettable sights. The road is also important to pilgrims who make their way from all around Tibet to the spiritual center in Lhasa.
