When people think of Tibet, they mostly think of monks, monasteries and meditation, but rarely of Mount Everest. Tibet offers a clear, sweeping view of the north face of highest mountain in the world along with stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayas.
On this guided tour, drive almost all the way to the Everest Base Camp for once-in-a-lifetime views. Along the way, you will also get the opportunity to explore Lhasa, Shigatse and Tingri. You’ll also visit some the most iconic destinations in Tibet such as Potala Palace, Johkang Monastery, Barkor Kora, Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery, Tashilumpo Monastery and Rongphu Monastery.
You’ll start your trip after a rest day for acclimatization in Lhasa before making your way to Everest Base Camp and back.

If you want to take photos of Tibetan pilgrims, gently ask for permission. Swimming and fishing are not allowed in Tibet's holy lakes. Do not talk about sensitive topics like politics.
