Day 00b Aerial View

Here are some photos taken aboard the flight from Chengdu to Lhasa, showing meandering rivers, deep valleys, snow-capped mountains and long glaciers. The photos would have been even more stunning if the sky was clear. The last photo shows the Yarlung Tsampo river (which flows to the Tibetan Plateau to India as the Bramaputra river that joins the Ganges before entering the sea) just before the plane lands.
