The most demanding & the popular
tour to Tibet is the 08 days overland package, where
people start their one of the most spectacular overland
journey on the 920 km stretch of road, known as the
Friendship highway, between Kathmandu & Lhasa
and fly back from there. The trip allows a number
of detours to the highlights of the Tsang Province
and the Lhasa City. The trip offers a spectacular
insight into the life and culture of the friendly
Tibetan people, from the ancient monasteries with
chanting monks, to the tranquil shores of the Turquoise
Lake Yamdrok tso, to the kumbum (literally 100,00
images), the most stunning architectural wonder of
Tibet & to the city of wonders, the Lhasa. This
trip concludes with the breathtaking Trans-Himalayan
flight from Lhasa to Kathmandu.
This trip generally starts early morning by driving
from Kathmandu to the Friendship bridge, Kodari (Nepal/Tibet
Border) which is 116km and takes a 05hrs on drive.
At Zhangmu, our representative from Tibet will meet
you and transfers you to the hotel. He will then take
care of your entire tour arrangements till your departure
from Lhasa to Kathmandu or abroad. This trip could
be done on reverse way by flying into the country
and driving back to Kathmandu.
