The Tibet Everest Base Camp Tour is the ultimate overland journey across Tibet, combining rich cultural immersion with breathtaking Himalayan landscapes. Beginning in the holy city of Lhasa, you’ll explore Tibet’s most iconic landmarks including the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and the great monasteries of Drepung and Sera. Along the way, you’ll meet local families, enjoy lakeside walks by the sacred Yamdrok Lake, and witness ancient traditions that define Tibetan life.
The highlight of this adventure is the approach to the world’s highest peak, Mt. Everest (8,848m). From four carefully chosen viewpoints, you’ll enjoy unique perspectives of Everest—from your first glimpse on mountain passes to the stunning sunset, starlit skies, and sunrise at Everest Base Camp itself. Few experiences rival the moment of waking up beneath the towering white pyramid of the world’s tallest mountain.
With professional Tibetan guides, comfortable accommodations, and carefully planned acclimatization, this itinerary is suitable for both younger travelers and seniors alike. If a 4-year-old child and an 84-year-old guest have safely completed this trip, so can you!
