Highlights of the Definitive Cultural Tour of Tibet

Attend a Tibetan Festival
Comfortable accommodation throughout
See all the major sights of Lhasa together with Shigatse, Gyantse and Sakya
This Tibet tour takes you to the ‘must see’ sights such as the Potala and Tashilunpo monastery, but also to places that many tourists do not usually see. There is also the chance to visit an authentic Tibetan festival .
When visiting the ‘Valley of Kings’ you will not only visit the tombs, but also the iconic castle of Yumbulakhang, with a visit to the nearby magnificent Samye monastery. The latter is a fabulous place and in many senses the hub of Buddhism in Tibet. After time in Lhasa we travel west and use the quicker ‘northern’ route to reach Shigatse and then the slower ‘southern’ route back past the spectacular lake of Yamdrok Tso to provide variety.
This exciting cultural tour to Tibet offers an amazing experience, both for the scenery you will encounter and for the Tibetan Buddhist culture. It gives you the opportunity to visit some of Tibet’s most important historical, religious and cultural sites and to travel through the awesome landscapes of the high Tibetan plateau.
