I went in most excited about Lhasa and Namtso Lake with Travel Permit. Funny enough, Lhasa is the part I kept talking about afterward.

What helped was simple: our guide read the pace well. We got the background when it helped, then space to explore instead of a running lecture. I would keep the Lhasa outline as it was.

Looking back, living out of a suitcase for 6 days is the only part I underestimated. The route itself had enough contrast that the days did not merge together. I would still leave extra time for Lhasa and Namtso Lake with Travel Permit.
