Description of Lhasa to Everest Base Camp tour, small group
Did you know that you can drive to Everest Base Camp? This overland trip from Lhasa, Tibet, takes you all the way to 5,200m above sea level and the slopes of the world’s highest mountain. Expect stunning scenery and culture all the way up.
This trip starts with two days of amazing sightseeing around Lhasa, including the Potala Palace. Next, strap in for an epic road journey of 600km to Everest Base Camp. Your first leg is across to Tibet’s second biggest city, Shigatse, passing Yamdrok Lake, Karola Glacier and Great Gyantse Pagoda on the way.
The second leg of the journey take you all the way to Mount Everest. On the Tibetan side, you can send postcards from the world’s highest post office before staying in a guest house at base camp. Return home the same way, with time to visit the Tashilhunpo Monastery, near Shigatse, on the way.
The roads all the way to Everest are good, but winding, and the scenery is nothing short of epic; whether you’re looking over Yamdrok Lake from Kampala Pass (4,797m) or out from Everest Base Camp itself.
This fantastic Tibet-based expert of ours is extremely experienced at handling all the logistics of your trip, including all permits. It means you can concentrate on the astounding scenery, whilst they keep their eyes on the road.

Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your holiday to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.
Planet
The services we provide during the trip will reduce the use of disposable items as much as possible. At the same time, we also ask the tourists participating in this trip to pack up their own garbage when traveling in the Himalayas Nature Reserve and take it away from the area.
When travelling in Tibet, please promise to sustain our environment, We distribute rubbish bags to each traveler on tour, collecting and placing the used bags to designated places. We encourage tourists to use water flasks instead of buying disposable plastic bottled drinks by providing water dispensers and even the flask itself.
The ecological environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is related to the destiny of mankind. We appeal to tourists to protect the ecological environment and water resources after traveling in Tibet. When traveling in Tibet, especially in forests and grasslands, you will often encounter Tibetan antelopes, wild donkeys, and wild yaks. When encountering wild animals, we will publicize local rare species and related knowledge about their protection. Many Tibetans are vegetarian and local restaurants offer vegetarian food.
People
We guarantee that the hotels and guesthouses that all tourists stay in are run by local Tibetans to make a living for them and support their local economy and sustainable development.
We bear deep respect for Tibet culture, and tradition as well as Tibet people. All of our tour guides and drivers are native Tibetans, besides a decent salary and welfare system, we also provide in-service training and humanitarian aid for their family members when necessary.
In some remote trekking areas, we tend to dine and stay in restaurants or hostels run by local Tibetans, or even stay in their house of theirs if it’s convenient for them. We benefit locals with low incomes by paying for food and accommodations in this way.
We organize tourists to go to Tibetan villages, invite the local Tibetans to teach tourists to make Tibetan food in their own small restaurants, engage tourists in traditional farm work with Tibetan families, and design new tour routes to present Tibet as authentically as we can and create more job opportunities for Tibetans meanwhile.
