Towering snow-capped mountains stretch across the horizon, crystal-clear lakes shimmer like gems embedded on the earth’s surface, and solemn monasteries hold centuries of history, each radiating with a unique charm. Whether it’s the spiritual heart of Lhasa, the ancient city of Shigatse, the remote yet awe-inspiring Ngari, or the lush and vibrant Nyingchi, every region in Tibet holds countless wonders waiting to be explored.

You might worry that time is too short to fully enjoy the splendor of Tibet. But don’t worry— our carefully curated itineraries range from 4 to 16 days, offering you a chance to enjoy the essence of Tibet. These tours are designed to showcase Tibet’s stunning landscapes and immerse you in its rich culture, all while fitting your schedule.

If you only have 4 days, an in-depth tour of Lhasa is absolutely a wise choice. In Lhasa, step into the magnificent Potala Palace to learn about Tibetan history. Head to the Jokhang Temple, where the incense smoke rises, and feel the devotion of Tibetan Buddhists. Stroll around Barkhor Street to experience the daily life of local people. Visit Drepung Monastery to see its grand white architecture and head to Sera Monastery to watch the lively monks’ debates. In addition to the classic small group tours, we also offer a variety of themed tours tailored to different needs. Whether it’s a family tour, a romantic honeymoon, a cultural exploration of Tibetan medicine, a bird-watching journey, a special trip to experience the Tibetan New Year, or even a wedding photo shoot by the beautiful Yamdrok Lake, we can fulfill your expectations for a Tibet journey.

3. Do I have to book a Chinese Group Visa to enter Tibet from Kathmandu?

If you come from countries enjoying China’s 10-, 15-, 30-day visa-free policies and your travel duration is within the time frame, you do not need to apply for the Chinese Group Visa.

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.

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.
