Tibet Tour: China & Central Tibet
Chengdu - Lhasa - Gyantse - Shigatse

Delight in the successes of the Panda Breeding Sanctuary and discover Chengdu's ancient tea houses and explore the historic sights of central Tibet.

The lure of Lhasa, capital on the roof of the world, cannot be under-estimated and it is truly a fascinating city, fully justifying its reputation. Dominated by the awe-inspiring grandeur of the Potala Palace and bustling with pilgrims circling the sacred Jokhang Temple it is a feast for the senses.

Cross the spectacular Khamba-La (pass) with the turquoise waters of the sacred lake, Yamdrok-tso, spread below. Prayer flags, glaciers, snow covered mountain ranges - the scenery is incredible!

Gyantse stands at the junction of trade routes from India and retains the feel of a Tibetan town. The forts and well-protected monasteries of Gyantse, Shigatse and Sakya reveal a not always peaceful history - the riches within, testament to past glory.

Enjoy a Tibetan buffet dinner & cultural show and join pilgrims on a kora at spectacularly situated Ganden Monastery.
