Tibet Tour: Highlights of Central Tibet
Lhasa - Gyantse - Shigatse - Lhasa
Explore a very special area of central Tibet and make the classic overland journey across the Roof of the World.
In the heart of central Tibet the great temples, monasteries, forts and palaces of Lhasa, Tsurphu, Gyantse and Shigatse are powerful testaments to a long and volatile history and to the spiritual and artistic traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.
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. Enjoy a Tibetan buffet dinner & cultural show and join pilgrims on a kora at spectacularly situated Ganden Monastery.
A private departure available at any time.
