Tibet Tour Outline Itinerary

Day 01: Kathmandu Lhasa Flight

• Time: 2 hours

Your flight from Kathmandu takes you to Lhasa. At 3,600m in elevation, it is important to acclimatize by not exerting yourself too much the first day.

After checking into your hotel, complete with a welcome program, you can do a short guided tour around the city before dinner. Walking does help you acclimatize faster although we do this at a slower pace than perhaps normal.

Day 02: Lhasa Sightseeing

• Time: 4 to 5 hours
• Accommodation: Hotel

Today visit the iconic landmarks of Jokhang Temple, Sera Monastery, and Barkhor Market. Your knowledgeable guide will give you the history of Tibet and the temples and monasteries you visit.

Day 03: Namtso Lake Day Trip

• Time: 7 hours
• Accommodation: Hotel

A day trip from Lhasa takes you to Namtso Lake and the Tashidor Monastery.

Namtso means heavenly and indeed the lake itself and its surroundings are very much like being in heaven. So much so it is considered one of the three most holy lakes in Tibet.

Day 04: Lhasa Sightseeing

• Time: 5 hours
