10 days Easier Acclimatizing Tibet EBC Small Group Tour

For those that are worried about altitude sickness, this amazing 10-day tour takes you from the beautiful capital to the Qomolangma Base Camp in a slightly longer tour, allowing you to acclimatize to the increasing altitudes at a slower pace, giving your body an easier way of getting used to the higher elevations. The tour starts in the capital city of Lhasa, and allows you to acclimatize for two days while touring the city, before heading out to visit the beautiful Yamdrok Lake on the way to Gyantse. After stopping the night, you will then visit the second city of Tibet, Shigatse, and tour the spectacular Tashilhunpo Monastery. Then it is off to Rongbuk Monastery, near the Qomolangma Base Camp, passing through the small town of Shegar and stopping to visit the Shegar Fort and the ancient Sakya Monastery. After a night in the monastery guesthouse at Rongbuk, you will be able to rise early to see the stunning view of the world’s highest mountain as the rising sun hits its eastern face, before heading to the base camp itself for more photo opportunities.

15 Days Tibet Mt. Kailash Small Group Tour

For those that are a little more adventurous, this spectacular 15-day tour of Tibet includes a three-day trek around one of the most awesome sites in the world, Mount Kailash. The tour starts in Lhasa, with a couple of days of acclimatizing and sightseeing, then heads out of the city, heading to Shigatse, via Yamdrok Lake and Gyantse. The tour then heads in a slightly different direction to most, heading to the Sakya Monastery, before winding its way northwest through Saga to the small village of Darchen, in Ngari Prefecture.  Darchen lies between the sacred Lake Manasarovar, one of the three most sacred lakes and the unique pyramid of black rock that is Mount Kailash. The most sacred mountain in the world, Kailash is sacred in four different religions, and is considered to be the earthly representation of Mount Meru. Here you will take part in a grueling three-day trek around the kora route, which circumambulates its way around the mountain, staying at the monasteries of Drirapuk and Dzultripuk along the way.

After the trek, you will then stop at Lake Manasarovar, before heading back through Saga to reach the Qomolangma Base Camp and Rongbuk Monastery. There you will get chance to take photos and explore the area of the base camp and monastery, before heading back through Shigatse to Lhasa.
