Itinerary Details

Day 1 Arrive in Lhasa

You are warmly welcome to Tibet by saying Tashi Delek at the Train station/airport by our professional employee and send you to reserved hotel in Lhasa. Then have a good rest to acclimatize the high altitude in the afternoon. Overnight in Lhasa.

Day 2 Tour of Lhasa [B]

Nagri area, Mt. Kailash, Mt. Kailash trekking, Lake Manasaro The first day of sightseeing starts from Lhasa's cardinal landmark-Potala Palace, a structure of massive portions. Its towering image already appearing on various occasions, but your first sight of the Potala will still be an awe-inspiring moment. It takes at least a good 2-hour to visit those rooms, halls and chapels. In the afternoon, we will drop a visit of the Jokhang Temple, the spiritual center of Tibet. Everyday, pilgrims from every corner of Tibet trek a long distance to the temple. The temple is the product of Han, Tibetan and Nepalese architectural techniques. Then we will visit Barkhor, the oldest street in a very traditional city in Tibet.

Day 3 Tour of Lhasa [B]

tibet tours, lhasa sightseeing, travel to Tibet, gyantse, Sh About 8km west of central Lhasa is the Drepung Monastery, once world's largest monastery with about 10,000 monks. This day's sightseeing begins with these white monastic buildings piled up on the hillside. Walking up to the hill is a pleasant thing, an easy break from the solemn ambience inside the halls and chapels. At the plat roof of hillside, you can have very good views of the whole Lhasa city and the distant mountains. Drepung is one of Lhasa's two great Gelugpa monasteries, the other is Sera Monastery. Around 5km north of central Lhasa, Sera may not be as grandiose as Drepung, but is more serene surrounded by many small temples. The 'Buddhism Scriptures Debating' in Sera is very famous. Overnight in Lhasa.

The monastery is one of three great Gelukpa religious centers in the Lhasa area. The Kora (circuit walking) around Ganden shouldn’t be missed too.Later after lunch, for those who are interested in Tibetan Buddhism, a visit to Drak Yerpa hermitage-one of the holiest cave retreats would be another good choice for today. King Songtsen Gampo also medicated in a cave. This peaceful site offers lovely views and should be included in this great day trip. Overnight in Lhasa.

Hot Scenic Spots: Tibet lies in the north-east of the Himalayas. It is special not only for the spectacular nature scenery, also the unique local customs. For a lot of people, Tibet is remote and inaccessible. But once you are here, you would know it’s a magical place, it is alien to common experiences. The beauty of Tibet is impossible to describe in words. Stop trying to define it, come and immerse yourself in it.; Potala Palace; Mt. Everest; Yamdrok Lake; Sera Monastery; Namtso Lake; Mt. Kailash

Hi Daniel. We are already on our way back to Shanghai. We would like to thank you for the great trip we had. Our guide Jampa and our driver did an excellent job. They are both very recommendable! We enjoyed the trip despite the altitude discomfort we experienced during the first 3 days. Thank you!; From Ms. Elena Maria Valisi

I highly recommend this agency. I travelled with other 2 couples who booked through different agencies and they paid a lot more to have less assistance, same hotels/tour/guide/car, less flexibility and no travel insurance included.
