Tibet Overland Tour
This tour begins with the flight crossing over Himalayas to Lhasa. After spending 3 days to visit the lure of Lhasa, the most fascinating capital city of the roof of the World dominated by the awe-inspiring grandeur of the Potala Palace, we head riding on 4WD Land cruisers following the Friendship Highway through some of the most amazing landscape on Earth and staying in the best traditional hotels Tibet has to offer. We will cross the spectacular Khumbi-La Pass, separated Tibetan settlements, nomadic herdsmen wandering across the wide arid plains, array of prayer flags, glaciers, snow covered mountain ranges - the scenery is incredible!
The forts and well-protected monasteries of Gyantse, Shigatse and Sakya reveal a not always peaceful history - the riches within, evidence to past glory.
