The duration of your Tibet tour depends on what you’d like to see and how far you want to travel.
For a basic Lhasa city tour, 4 to 5 days is typically enough. This allows you to explore the main attractions, including the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and the Sera and Drepung Monasteries. It’s a great option if you’re limited on time but still want to experience the essence of Lhasa.
If you want to visit Everest Base Camp, plan for about 8 days. This includes traveling from Lhasa through beautiful spots like Yamdrok Lake and Shigatse. The gradual pace will help with acclimatization to the altitude, while also letting you enjoy the scenic and cultural sites along the way.
For those trekking around Mount Kailash, you’ll need at least 15 days. This longer trip takes you from Lhasa to the remote western part of Tibet, passing through Shigatse, Everest Base Camp, Saga, and other stunning destinations.
Tibet’s high altitude and long distances between locations require a slower pace, so it’s best not to rush. We can help customize your itinerary based on your time, interests, and preferences. Contact us for more details!
