Tibet Travel & Tibet Trekking
Kathmandu, Tibet | Sight-Seeing ToursStarting at $100 per night
Activity/Tour
For centuries Tibet has been a mysterious and timeless land, cut off from the rest of the world by the mighty Himalayas. Despite modernisation it has retained the beauties of its past, such as the fascinating Gompas, ancient markets, ever-smiling and fun-loving Tibetans and its amazing turquoise lakes.
We specialise in adventure holidays in Tibet and our trips range from four-day culture tours to four-week mountaineering expeditions – so if you are looking for adventure, you will definitely find it with us!
Most of our treks start or end with visit to Lhasa, which has long been known as the Forbidden City. The mighty Potala Palace, Drepung Monastery, Barkhor market and the holy Jokhang Temple are just a few of the fascinating sights we will take you to.
Our overland trips give you enough time to visit the famous Tashilhump Monastery at Shigatse, the historic town of Gyantse, the old Bon Po Monastery at Sakya and the beautiful lake of Yamdrok Tso.
Treks to Mt. Everest base camp and Shishapangma will certainly be the highlight of your trip. From Everest Base Camp you can enjoy an uninhibited view of the beckoning north face of the top of the world as well as of the amazing Rongbuk Glacier. A visit to the Rongbuk monastery is an essential part of any trip to this area.
Our trip to Mt. Kailash gives you the unforgettable opportunity to circumvent the holy mountain, just to be completed by a visit to the serene Lake Manasarovar.
In Tsethang and Yarlung, the cradle of Tibetan civilisation, you will visit ancient Tibetan monasteries and the tomb of the famous Tibetan king, Songsten Gampo. This area is extremely rich in cultural interest. It is also the home of the world's largest canyon, on the Yarlung Tsang Po River, which later becomes the Brahmaputra, flowing through India and Bangladesh.

Best Time to Visit Tibet Lhakpa Ri South
Despite the high altitude of the Tibetan Plateau, the daytime temperatures are actually quite mild. Between April and November the average temperature ranges form 15-25 degrees Celsius and the skies are generally clear and blue. From July to August though there can be the odd shower during the day. The nights, however, can be very cold and temperatures can drop below 0 degrees Celsius. During the day a light shirt or jumper and lightweight pants will be suitable, but a warm fleece or down jacket is recommended for the evenings.
The best time of year for overland tours in Tibet is from April to November and for treks and Mt. Kailash tour from April to the beginning of October.
About Trekking in Tibet Tibet Trek
Our all treks and Mt. Kailash tours are fully catered by our qualified and experienced crew from Nepal and a professional English speaking Tibetan guide. Loads are usually carried by Yaks.
A typical day begins with a hot cup of tea brought to the tent at about 6 am, followed by a bowl of hot water for washing. After packing our bags and having a good breakfast, we set off on the morning's walk. All you need to carry is a small daypack containing a water bottle, camera, sun cream, hat, rain-jacket and a warm jumper, just in case. The porters or yaks will carry everything else for you. After walking for 3-4 hours we stop for lunch at around midday. The afternoon's walk is generally shorter and we arrive at camp in time for a nice cup of tea. The remainder of the afternoon can be spent exploring the nearby villages, doing a bit of washing or simply relaxing with a good book. Dinner is usually served between 6 and 7pm and after dinner, the evening is often spent playing cards or talking with the crew – and sometimes there will even be some singing and dancing before heading off to the tent for a well-earned sleep.
