Travel ideas about Tibet

Classic Tibet

A classic Tibet itinerary usually includes visits to the fabled cities of Lhasa, Gyantse, and Shigatse, the Rongbuk Monastery. Delve into Potala Palace and the Jokhang Temple, wander through Barkhor Street, watch the tortoise water of Yamdrok Lake or Namtso Lake, and cover the best that Tibet has to offer.

  The Best of Lhasa

  If you don't have a plan or time to go deeper in Tibet, 3 nights / 4 days around Lhasa is quite eye-opening already. The Potala Palace, the Jokhang Temple , the Drepung Monastery, the Norbulingka Park, the Barkhor Street and beyond, enough for me to swagger about my Tibet journey to everyone, how about you?

• 
  Go deeper to Namtso Lake

  There are 3 major holy lakes in Tibet and Namtso Lake tops. Viewing from some angles, this majestic lake keeps me wondering: is that a sea? A whole day is requested for a round trip to the Lake, you need go through some rough road; however when the seemingly boundless blue water jump into your view with the purest snow peaks, you congratulate yourself on making the tour.

• 
  Discover the Yamdrok Lake

  Among the 3 holy lakes in Tibet, Namtso Lake and Yamdrok Lake are easier to access. If the former is as broad as a muscular Tibetan man, the latter is more of a soft young girl. Before you get close to the Yamdrok Lake, ask your driver to stop on a mountain top for the finest view of the lake. Hey buddy, I would only say, bring one more battery for your camera!

• 
  Challenge the Mt. Everest Base Camp?

  If your physic or time allow, if you can get along well with poor accommodation, if you have luck to evade Tibet's entry restriction, if…congratulations, plan your trip to the Mt. Everest, even if it's just a visit around the Mt. Everest Base Camp. Hey, think about it, not everyone could make it to the foot the world's highest peak.

• 
  Tibet extension

  Want to travel across the tallest mountain in the world? An extension tour from Tibet to Nepal will offer you that experience. You will take in the most dramatic landscapes of the Himalayas, from towering peaks to the lush foothills of Nepal. 8 days are fairly enough for you to do the trip.
