Top Lhasa Adventure Tours

See Tibet's three greatest sights in one well-paced overland journey: the holy city of Lhasa, the north face of Mount Everest at base camp, and the deep-blue "heavenly lake" of Namtso, without rushing the altitude. Begin with two nights in Lhasa and a full day among the Potala Palace, the Jokhang Temple and the Barkhor pilgrim circuit. Then cross the plateau by road, past turquoise Yamdrok Lake and the Karola Glacier to the Kumbum stupa at Gyantse and on to Shigatse. Climb over the Gawu La, where Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu can line the horizon at once, to sleep in a heated tent beneath Everest's north face at 5,200 m and wake for sunrise. Many Everest trips stop there; this one adds a day out to Namtso, ringed by the Nyenchen Tanglha peaks. You travel as a small shared group. Comfortable 4-star hotels, a base-camp tent, a licensed English-speaking guide and your Tibet Travel Permit are all included. A shorter 7-day option without Namtso is also available.

Fourteen days to the far west of Tibet, where most Kailash itineraries never go: the complete three-day pilgrim kora around sacred Mount Kailash, the north face of Everest, the holy lake of Manasarovar, and the thousand-year-old cliff city of the lost Guge Kingdom at Zanda. A private oxygen-equipped vehicle, an experienced Tibetan guide and all permits are arranged — a serious, high, profoundly rewarding trip built for careful acclimatization and awe.

This 8 days tour offers a deep exploration for the Himalayan ranges, it brings you not only through the historical places and operating monasteries like Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Tashilunpo Monastery, etc; but also lines of breath-taking natural sceneries, such as turquoise water Lake Yamdrok, mighty Nyenchen Kangsar glacier and splendid Mt. Everest Base Camp.
