Kathmandu Lhasa Tour - 8 days (drive in fly out)

This is one of our most popular tours and provides a good overview of Tibet for those with limited time. We take the Friendship Highway between Kathmandu to Lhasa, along the way visiting such important sites as the Sakya Monastery, Shigatse, the Shalu Monastery and Gyantse.

You will spend two days on a guided sightseeing tour of Lhasa that covers all of the major historical sites. On the eighth day we transport you to the airport for your flight to your next destination.

We can accommodate individuals and small groups (including families) on this tour. We arrange all necessary travel permits for Tibet, which requires some preparation time before we can depart in order to file the necessary paperwork.
