Tibet’s ‘Happy Land’ that is also favoured as the stop for varied trucks sprawling all across the town, Saga is a beautiful city. It is the last town situated on the Yarlung Tsangpo River’s banks and is also serving as a resting spot for varied tourists who are on their way to Mt. Kailash. There is nothing much in the town to visit and thus, it is treated more as an overnight stop rather than a tourists’ historical destination. However, one might also love the serene environment and some of the very natural surroundings of this place. While being present here one might witness many hotels to be stayed in, concluding that the city has many options available to be chosen from for the same. Nothing’s best than an overnight stay in saga as this is a place that is considered apt for recharging yourself and having some great time.
