    How many days should I spend in Tibet

    What’s the minimal duration for a Tibet tour that includes Lhasa, Everest Base Camp, Mount Kailash, and Nyingchi?

    Mr. Passang Norbu from Tibet Horizon, answered on August 29th, 2024

    Dear Lady, thanks for your question.

    It takes over two weeks. You can reach Nyingchi first and spend two days enjoying the natural scenery at Lulang Forest, Basumtso Lake, etc., and then drive to Lhasa. Typically, it takes two days to visit iconic landmarks such as the Potala Palace and Sera Monastery. From Lhasa, you can venture to Everest Base Camp via Shigatse. After enjoying the breathtaking scenery at Everest Base Camp, you can continue your journey to Darchen to visit the sacred Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar. This route ascends gradually and allows you to explore the highlights of Tibet in around 13-14 days if you do not do a Kailash Kora. The actual duration varies depending on the sites you want to visit along the way and the activities you want to experience. Expect a longer trip if you want to visit more sites like Namtso Lake, Guge Kingdom Ruins, etc., or engage in a 3- or 4-day Kailash trek. We have a professional travel consultant who can customize a desired Tibet travel route for you. Feel free to contact us to discuss your plan!
