Tibet Trekking and Tours

Tibet has enthralled travellers for many years, enticing them with names such as ‘Shangri La’, ‘The Roof of the World’ and ‘The Land of Snows’. This dry, high-altitude desert is home to rugged, spectacular scenery dotted with glacial turquoise lakes, high mountain passes decked in colourful prayer flags, and wide pastures with nomadic yak herders. The glittering Himalayan snowcaps on a horizon set against brilliant blue skies create an impressive background for it all. Tibet is also a land of fascinating history and culture, with many ancient Buddhist monasteries, prostrating pilgrims turning prayer wheels, and warm and friendly people. Tibet guarantees adventure for both trekkers and travellers. 

The classic Tibetan journey follows the Friendship Highway from Lhasa across the wild landscape of the Tibetan plateau and down to the lush valleys of Nepal, ending in Kathmandu at the end of one of the world’s greatest road trips. In addition to stunning mountain panoramas from the road, this trip includes a short trek to the Tibetan Everest Base Camp, one of the route’s highlights.

If you just want to gain an overview of life in this fascinating land and only have a few days to spare, a cultural tour of Lhasa and the surrounding area will enable you to appreciate the dramatic, stark scenery and visit key sights, such as the Potala Palace, along with some of the more important monasteries. 

Tibet offers some of the highest trekking experiences in the world and we have included a short option from Ganden to Samye as part of a general cultural/sightseeing trip. Should you be interested in a longer trek, please contact us for more information about the many other alternatives. 

(Please note that the days and opening hours of buildings such as the Potala Palace are subject to frequent change. The sightseeing options in Lhasa are arranged in a suggested itinerary, but this may change according to the prevailing opening hours during your tour.)
