This 8-day tour begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa, the spiritual and cultural capital of Tibet. After arriving at Lhasa (3,656 meters/11,995 feet), acclimatize to the high altitude and get ready to explore iconic sites such as the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and the bustling Barkhor Bazaar. These landmarks reflect Tibet’s deep-rooted Buddhist traditions and centuries-old history.

The adventure reaches its peak at Rongbuk Monastery (4,980 meters), the world’s highest monastery, with stunning views of Mount Everest’s North Base Camp. A short hike brings you closer to Everest’s grandeur before continuing the journey to Tingri and Kerung, where you’ll witness the changing landscapes of the Tibetan Plateau and lush Himalayan foothills.
