Itinerary
For those craving an epic overland adventure, the "Lhasa to Kathmandu via Tibet’s Everest BC" tour links two of Asia’s most legendary cities over 13 days. This easy-paced journey, tailored to curious and comfort-seeking travelers, weaves together the cultural highlights of Lhasa—including the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple—with visits to Gyantse and Shigatse.
The trip’s crowning glory is a journey to the famous Rongphu Valley, granting rare access to Everest’s north face from the historic base camp used by early 20th-century expeditions. The tour concludes in vibrant Kathmandu, offering a seamless combination of Tibetan culture, dramatic landscapes, and Himalayan vistas.
Its unique appeal lies in providing a comprehensive Tibet tour package with special access to Everest’s base camp—an experience reserved for only a select few each year.
