The Potala Palace, Yamdrok Lake and the north face of Everest
Overview
The classic Tibet journey: Lhasa’s palaces and monasteries, then the Friendship Highway across the plateau to the north face of Everest. You see the mountain from Rongbuk, the world’s highest monastery.
Fly to Lhasa and spend two days at the Potala, Jokhang, Drepung and Sera. Drive past Yamdrok Lake to Gyantse and Shigatse, then over the Gyatso La to Rongbuk and the Everest viewpoint. Return to Shigatse and Lhasa to fly out.
Anyone in good health; walking is light, but nights at 3,650–4,980 m need care. Not ideal for people with heart or lung conditions.
Why book with us: We handle the Chinese group visa and Tibet permits from Kathmandu, with a licensed Tibetan guide and a Spanish-speaking tour leader on request.
What you will see and experience along the way
5 to 7 hours a day with some steep sections. Suits active beginners.
