The link Lhasa to Ningchi (2500 m) is a major section of the vital Tibet-Sichuan highway. Ningchi, is a principal town of Kongpo , a large district of southwest Tibet . It is a staging post for a number of sacred pilgrimages. At this eastern extremity of the Himalayas , the mighty Tsangpo makes an abrupt turn onto itself. The uncommon congruence of high mountains and Tibet 's most powerful water course creates one of the deepest gorges in the world. It is a superb area for pilgrims and plant-hunters.
