The 7 Summits Club group continued its journey through Tibet and reached the city of Shigatse

Olya Rumyantseva, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tibet:

 Greetings to everyone from Tibet from the gradually enlightening group! Today we left Lhasa and headed out to meet enlightenment, having first replenished our oxygen supply just in case. We spent the whole day on the road, contemplating the beautiful views. We crossed two passes about 5000 meters high, saw the sacred lake Yamdrok Tso and the glacier.

In the distance, snow-capped mountain peaks appeared, which we will gradually approach. By evening, we reached the city of Gyandze, where we visited the famous monastery of Pelkor-Chede.

Once upon a time, there were 15 monasteries of various schools. The majority - 9 monasteries - belonged to the Gelug school. In the monastery, a monk showed us an ancient mask made of yak skin, which is used for ritual dances.

And in the evening we arrived in the city of Shigatse, where we will spend the night. It turned out to be a very long and eventful day.
