Explore Lhasa Cultural Tour

Lhasa Cultural Tour (11 Days)

In this mystical city, our adventure unfolds as we delve into the treasures it holds, including the magnificent Potala Palace (once the winter sanctuary of the Dalai Lama), the revered Jokhang, the Tibetan Medical Center, and the sprawling Drepung Monastic University, the largest in Tibet.

Our exploration continues beyond Lhasa, traversing the Tibetan plateau to discover the sacred monasteries and religious sanctuaries of the Tsang province. We'll visit the serene Yamdork Tso, the enchanting Gantse, and Shigatse, Tibet's second-largest city.

The journey proceeds over the awe-inspiring Tongla Pass to Shegar and Zangmu, offering breathtaking vistas of the Himalayas. Crossing the iconic Friendship Bridge, we make our way through the picturesque Nepalese countryside to reach Kathmandu. For those seeking more adventures, the option to extend awaits, with opportunities for Himalayan treks or jungle safaris in Chitwan National Park.
