The Experience

From the forests of Nyingchi to Everest Base Camp and sacred Namtso Lake, this is the most complete small-group journey through central and eastern Tibet. Start in the green southeast with the Kadinggou gorge, the Lulang forest viewpoint and Basum Tso Lake, then spend three days in Lhasa with the debating monks of Sera, the Potala Palace and the Jokhang Temple. Drive past turquoise Yamdrok Lake and the Karola Glacier to Shigatse, cross the Gawu La to Rongbuk Monastery and spend a night at Everest Base Camp, then return via Tashilhunpo Monastery. The trip ends with a day at Namtso, the great saltwater lake north of Lhasa. The order is built for altitude: Nyingchi and Basum Tso are lower than Lhasa, Everest comes on day 8 and Namtso on day 11. Shared group on fixed dates, with an English-speaking licensed guide, a licensed tourist vehicle and all Tibet permits arranged. Hotels in Lhasa and Shigatse are 4-star with oxygen supply.
