Tour Details

8 Days Tibet Spiritual Loop is a popular package of Tibet Universal Tours and Travel. This spiritual tour is a signature of our tour package. It is not just another sightseeing tour; but, more importantly, it is designed to provide you with a light but rewarding experience to immerse yourself into the rich Tibetan cultural-religious aspects, as well as to guarantee some level of mental peace one much needs in the modern busy life.

We will start out with tours around the best-loved sights in Tibet, including the Potala Palace and the Jokhang Temple, Sera Monastery, and Drepung Monastery.  We will then embark on a“loop-line extended tour”, outside Lhasa valley, with travels, first of all, to Namtso lake, which is the largest salt lake in Tibet, then to Reting Monastery, to Drigung Til Monastery thereafter, to Tidrum Nunnery and hot spring next, to Ganden Monastery, finally, before we head back from there to Lhasa.

Travel Gear:

Upon joining, each participant will be sent a list of required and recommended gear for this journey that they will be responsible for.

Accommodation:

In Lhasa, Gyantse, and Shigatse, you will be staying in a comfortable and pleasant boutique or 3-star Tibetan-owned hotels. Accommodation in other areas, such as Everest Base Camp, will be best locally available guesthouses. Guesthouses often have no heating facilities, but plenty of blankets upon request. Toilets are usually outside and are not always as hygienic. Showers are often unavailable or only available at the local shower house. In Nepal, you will stay at highly rated boutique hotels in a central location. Hotel upgrades are available in Lhasa and Kathmandu upon request.

Eligibility:

Participants must be in good health and physically fit. Because they need to be able to spend each day walking around towns, villages, and monasteries with their own equipment. Though you will be doing a lot of walking each day, no trekking is required. Most of this tour will take place in mountainous terrain between 3600 meters and 5200 meters (11,800 feet to 17,000 feet) above sea level. You will spend 3 nights in Lhasa for altitude acclimatization before going above 3600 meters. Ascent will be slow and gradual to reduce the risks of altitude-related illness. This tour is not recommended for those who have severe asthma or who have had problems with high elevation in the past.
