Tibet Trek - Ganden-Samye
Alpine Valleys, nomadic yak herders, ancient monasteries
Explore a very special area of central Tibet and make the classic overland journey across the Roof of the World.
From the ruins of the great monastery of Ganden head for the high valleys. The scenery is spectacular and herders are often camped beside the small lakes and streams, their herds of sheep, yak and goats scattered across the high pastures.
The end of the trek brings you to Samye. On the banks of the Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra), this Tibet’s oldest monastery and one of its most beautiful.
A private departure for 2 or more people available at any time.
May be customized for you.
Best: April-November
