Pat and Doug flew into Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, at an altitude of 11,500 feet. The flight was beautiful. The couple compared the landscape to the Nevada desert, the craggy peaks of the Eastern Sierra or the intermountain valleys of the Rocky Mountains supersized with lots of yaks. They would be in the midst of desert landscape and then see a cluster of snow-capped peaks.
The Southern slopes of the Himalayas catch the monsoon rain.
Descending a bit lower the land is green and forested with vegetation. There are several microclimates that they saw on that flight alone.
