Running the valley to gain some altitude.
Heading back towards the big mountains with enough height to clear them!
The Kangshung Face of Mt. Everest with Makalu in the background.

Looking back at Mt. Everest with Kangchenjunga in the distance.

Lake Puma Yumco.
More lake country.
Some views of on the long ILS RWY 27R approach. None of these are actually of Lhasa, but we will overfly it on departure and check out the Potala Palace, where the Dalai Lama lives.
Welcome to Tibet!
