The Lhasa Yamdrok Lake Tour is a carefully designed 5-day journey that blends Tibet’s cultural treasures with the natural beauty of one of its most sacred lakes. Beginning in Lhasa, the holy city of Tibet, you’ll explore the region’s most important spiritual and historical landmarks, including the awe-inspiring Potala Palace, the revered Jokhang Temple, and the great monasteries of Drepung and Sera. These visits offer not only architectural wonders but also a chance to witness the living traditions of Tibetan Buddhism—monks debating, pilgrims performing kora, and locals gathering in tea houses.
The highlight of this tour is a day excursion to Yamdrok Lake, one of the “Three Holy Lakes of Tibet.” Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and dotted with small islands, Yamdrok is a turquoise jewel that changes shades with the light. From four different viewpoints, you’ll capture its breathtaking beauty and visit a secluded monastery on an island, where a solitary monk has lived in quiet devotion for years.
With comfortable transportation, local Tibetan guides, and a pace suitable for families, couples, and older travelers, this itinerary is the perfect introduction to Tibet’s heart—its sacred culture, majestic landscapes, and timeless spirituality.
Upon arrival at Lhasa airport or train station, you’ll be warmly welcomed with a traditional Tibetan Hada scarf. Enjoy a scenic drive along the Yarlung Tsangpo and Lhasa rivers before checking into your hotel. The rest of the day is for rest and acclimatization.
Begin your cultural journey with a visit to Drepung Monastery, once the largest in Tibet, where you’ll explore its grand halls and monastic life. In the afternoon, continue to Sera Monastery to witness the famous monks’ debates, a lively tradition that brings Tibetan Buddhist philosophy to life.
Discover the iconic Potala Palace, former residence of the Dalai Lamas, and admire its treasures and panoramic views. Visit Longwangtan Park for another angle of the palace before heading to Jokhang Temple, Tibet’s most sacred shrine. Stroll around Barkhor Street with pilgrims and enjoy Tibetan sweet tea in a lively local tea house.
Take a scenic drive to Yamdrok Lake, a dazzling turquoise gem surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Enjoy stunning views from multiple platforms, visit the monastery on Rutog Island, and meet its solitary monk. Savor a local family-style lunch by the lakeshore before returning to Lhasa via the dramatic Gampala Pass.
Your guide will transfer you to the airport or train station for your onward journey, marking the end of your Tibet adventure.
