The focus is pace, rather than the number of stops
The source recommends a private vehicle for the family, fewer daily attractions and room to change the pace. It discusses travel from Nanjing by plane or train. Its age-based and medical recommendations are not repeated here as medical advice; individual fitness for high-altitude travel needs professional assessment.
Days 1–2: arrival and rest in Lhasa
The proposed itinerary begins with arrival from Nanjing, a pickup and hotel check-in. It leaves the first day free of sightseeing and keeps the second day for rest or a short walk close to the hotel.
Days 3–5: Nyingchi and back to Lhasa
Day 3 travels from Lhasa to Nyingchi, with an overnight in Bayi or Lulang. Day 4 is a slower sightseeing day at Basum Tso or the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, as selected in the source outline. Day 5 returns to Lhasa. The actual stop, daily driving time and route access need to be agreed for the family.
Days 6–8: Lhasa, Yamdrok Lake and departure
Day 6 lists the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple. Day 7 is a return trip from Lhasa to Yamdrok Lake. Day 8 is the airport or railway transfer. This is the article’s proposed route, not an eight-day booking or a medical suitability assessment.
Details to put in the written plan
The source asks families to specify the vehicle, named hotels, included tickets and whether there are shopping stops. It favours one or two attractions a day, a midday rest and the ability to return to the hotel when needed. Confirm the family’s requirements with the planner before finalizing the route.
