Tibet cultural tours
Description of Tibet cultural tours
This fascinating two week cultural tour of Tibet takes travellers to many of the region’s most important monasteries that stand at high altitude overlooked by some of the tallest mountain peaks on the planet, including the indomitable form of Mount Everest.
A visit to Everest Base Camp by road provides further insight into the legendary tales that swirl around the mountain like Himalayan clouds with initial acclimatisation in Lhasa allowing travellers to get used to the altitude above 3650m.
Chances to meet pilgrims and monks making their way over mountain trails en-route to Buddhist monasteries and the seasonal palaces of the Dalai Lama conjure visions of life in Tibet untouched by the modern world with your final destination, Kathmandu, further adding to cultural enlightenment.
This two week small group tour is a must for anyone looking to become immersed within the mountains, culture and religion of Tibet on an easy going experience that’s also great value for money.

Our guide made sure that as well as the main sights, we also visited some more unusual things like the water powered incense factory. We were fortunate to be invited to visit our driver's home and share lunch with his family. Read full reviewReviewed on 31 May 2017 by Ann Williams

The most memorable part of the holiday was walking around Barkhor Square in Lhasa seeing people on pilgrimage from various regions of Tibet. The people were very friendly and even came to shake our hands and say hello. The holiday was absolutely fantastic. The Tibetan landscape is stunning and the monasteries and temples are fascinating.
