10 Days Lhasa – Everest Base Camp – Namtso Lake Tour

This will be a great tour, as you will have opportunities to see some of the stunning landscapes of Tibet. To ensure a gradual adjustment to the altitude, you will start out with tours around Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet. You will tour around some of the historical and religious sites, such as the Potala Palace, the Jokhang Temple, and Drepung and Sera monasteries.

Then, you will embark on the extended journey which will include overland travel through some of the marvellous landscapes and visits to key stunning sites. For example, the north-facing Mt. Everest (alt. 8848m), the Mt. Shisha Pangma (alt.8012m), the Yamdrok Lake, the Karo La Glacier, and the Pelkhor Chode Monastery in Gyantse, which has one of the best old towns in central Tibet. Next, you will go to Shigatse, Tibet’s second-largest city and home to the largest Buddhist monastery of Tashi Lhunpo. After Shigatse, the tour trajectory will take you through some of the high passes, including the Gyatso La, which offers sweeping views of the world’s highest mountain range, and the north-facing Everest Base Camp. Furthermore, from Shigatse prefecture, you will turn into Namtso lake one of the largest salt lakes in Tibet.
