Itinerary

Step into the mystical highlands of Tibet on the Shangri-La Tour, a journey designed for young adults and experienced travelers alike. Traverse a land where yaks graze beneath snow-capped peaks, and ancient monasteries dot the landscape. Visit revered Buddhist sanctuaries such as Drepung, Sera, Jokhang, Tashi Lhunpo, Phalkor, Yungbulakang, and Thandruk, delving into spiritual traditions that have endured for centuries.

Marvel at the Kumbum Stupa—a three-dimensional mandala depicting the Buddhist cosmos—and soak in sweeping views of Everest, Cho Oyu, and Shisapangma from the Roof of the World. Stroll the vibrant Bharkhor market, explore the iconic Potala Palace, and observe pilgrims as they circumambulate holy sites.

Immerse yourself in the unique tapestry of Tibetan life, where ancient practices and lively street performances animate the cities. The unique selling point? This tour package offers deep cultural immersion and rare access to spiritual and natural wonders in a land that remains shrouded in legend.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled. (Even when we got lost) The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative. Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities. Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.
