Tibet lies just north of Nepal across the Himalaya: a high plateau of monasteries, turquoise lakes and the north face of Everest. Most trips start with a flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa or a drive across the Kerung border.
Tibet is best from Apr to Oct; Kailash only from May to Sep. Lhasa is at 3,650 m and most routes cross passes above 5,000 m, so we build in acclimatisation days.
These are mainly cultural road journeys with short walks, plus one trek and the Kailash kora; a licensed Tibetan guide is required. Trips here: Tibet Cultural Tour, Lhasa to Kathmandu Overland, Nepal and Tibet Tour, Tibet Everest Base Camp Trek, two Kailash journeys, and Lhasa & Namtso.
