Left Shigatse to continue east. Passed a sky burial mount on G318, then took the shortcut S304 to Yangbajing (羊八井) for lunch, crossing the highest pass of our trip. Crossed the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains (念青唐古拉山) again to overnight at Nam-Tso (納木錯), final and most beautiful of the sacred lakes we visited.
Lobby of the Jipei Hotel (吉培大酒店).
Not a good sign. Actually, our driver just doing some maintenance.

Last view of Shigatse (日喀則), 2nd largest city of Tibet.

Along the Yarlung Tsangpo.
A sky burial mount right along G318.
People on top, and white smokes mean burial was done earlier that morning.

Nice spot for view of the Yarlung Tsangpo.
