Allow time in Lhasa
A Tibet itinerary needs room to settle into the destination before a long overland journey. Start with your arrival arrangements and the time available in Lhasa. The city portion and the route beyond it should be considered together, particularly if you are arriving from a much lower elevation.
Continue toward Shigatse
The retained route travels from Lhasa through Shigatse before reaching the Everest Base Camp area. Road travel is a central part of the experience: journeys cross a high plateau where weather, road conditions and permitted access affect the day. The written program specifies the overnight stops and sightseeing actually included.
Plan the Everest region carefully
A visit to the Everest area is about the mountain landscape and the permitted viewpoints available to visitors. It does not imply a mountaineering expedition or access beyond the visitor arrangements in force for the date. We check the practical route and accommodation before confirming this part of the journey.
Decide how to finish
The itinerary can be planned as a return toward Lhasa or an onward journey toward the Nepal border. These are different travel plans with separate transport and documentation requirements, so the ending must be chosen before the itinerary is booked.
Planning your visit
Tibet travel requires date-specific documentation and access checks. Discuss the high altitude with a qualified medical professional and share any pacing requirements before committing to the route.
