Why Choose the Lhasa Tour from Kathmandu?

- Scenic Flight Experience: The Kathmandu to Lhasa flight takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, offering breathtaking aerial views of the Himalayan range, including Mount Everest.
- Affordable Flight Fares: Compared to other international routes, the Kathmandu to Lhasa flight is budget-friendly, making it a cost-effective option for travelers.
- Convenient Tour Extension: If you are already in Nepal for a trekking or cultural tour, extending your trip to Tibet or even Bhutan is seamless and highly rewarding.
- Flexible Tour Packages: Join our popular 3 nights 4 days Lhasa Tour, which allows you to explore iconic landmarks like Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and Barkhor Bazaar.
