Tibet tour and trek

Embark on a world-class trek to Everest’s most stunning and secluded north face on our Everest Advanced Base Camp Trek from Tibet and experience the beautiful, mountainous landscape of Tibet, the ‘Roof of the World’. We trek on the same trails used by the Everest summiteers and end our journey at the Everest Advanced Base camp at 6,340m. The trip begins in Lhasa where we visit Potala and Norbulingka Palaces along with other landmarks of the city. Next, we drive to Shigatse and finally to Lotingri which is where the actual trek begins. In between, we also visit a couple of Tibetan landmarks like the impressive Tashilhunpo Monastery, Khumbum Stupa, Phalkot Monastery and others which showcase the rich culture and history of the Tibetans. Reaching the Advanced Base Camp of the world’s highest mountain, Everest guarantees us a sweeping view of the majestic mountain and is sure to be a surreal experience for any adventure enthusiast.
