Lhasa Tour – Tibet - Itinerary & Details

Tibet – Shangri-La, the land of snows, the roof of the world. A land of ancient Buddhist culture, awesome landscape, and artistic monasteries and centuries old caravan trails. Tibet is a destination out of ordinary. Tibet covers an area of 1228400 sq. km and has a population of 3.03 million.

Tibetan mountains and plateaus are the youngest mountains in the world. They are less than 4 million years old and were created along with the creation of the Himalayas. Geographically Tibet contains three distinct regions. With an average elevation of over 4,000 meters, Tibet is considered to be the highest region in the world; often referred to as the “Roof of the World”. Remote, beautiful, and sacred; this largely undiscovered land is illuminated by countless Buddhist shrines and is surrounded by the magnificent Himalayan mountains, including Mount Everest (north face) which is the highest point on the planet. In this Lhasa Tour, you will visit the major parts of Tibet within few days. You can add more days if you like to extend your Lhasa Tour.
