Ancient Kingdoms of Tibet

Your trip starts with a picturesque three-day aclimatisation trek in the Nepalese Himalayan foothills before flying to Tibet. You have three full days in Lhasa, including a day at leisure, so that you can explore the best sights in and around the city. You then fly west to the small Tibetan town of Ali and start your exploration of Shangshung and Guge; long-abandoned kingdoms with crumbling castles and temples. Finally you drive back east across the Tibetan Plateau, past Mount Kailash, to cross the Nepalese border and return to Kathmandu. To create this incredible journey our Managing Director, Steve Berry, followed in footsteps of the Tibetan explorer Peter Van Ham, and this fabulous adventure, unique to Mountain Kingdoms, is the result.
