Topography of Lhasa within Lingkor
The three hills Marpori, Chakpori and Bhamari stand out clearly on the flat plain
Map compiled and drawn by Knud Larsen

The interval between the contours represents 1m for the plain and 5m for the hills. The numbers indicate altitudes starting at 3.600 meters. The plain slopes almost unnoticeably (1:500) from east to west following the flow of the river.
