Overview

The amazing trip starts from the holy city of Lhasa by appreciating its prominent historical and religious sites like the mystical Potala Palace, sacred Jokahng temple, sprawling Sera, and Drepung monastery. Your arrival to the holy city will be greeted by the lovely blue sky and an impressive glimpse of the gigantic Potala palace perched on the red hill, while during a couple of days of acclimation and jet-lag alleviation.

You will deeply be overwhelmed by visiting the number of world heritages and supernatural temples, the bustling street around the Jokhang temple is one of the most devotional streets known as Bakhor, it will also extend the way to Gyantse and Shigatse in the west, and experience the distinct culture of western(Tsang) Tibet, by driving along the stunning turquoise color lake Yamdrok and blooming Nyenchen Kangsar glacier under the sunny plateau climate, you will never waste even a single minute by discovering new experiences and wonders on the way to Gyantse and Shigatse.

The highlight of this customizable tour is overnight camping at the stunning Yamdrok Lake, enjoy the peaceful campsite, and have a wonderful sunrise and sunset at this crystal blue lake.

Hi, I am interested in this tour. But I cannot exert myself much and was wondering if I can skip the Kailash Kora and use other forms of transportation. I do however want to see Mt. Kailash. Also are you able to provide oxygen?

Permit application：
Tibet travel permit process takes around 22 days and we need 3 days to send you the permit in mainland China . We also need your passport and China visa copy for the permit application. Please send me clear photos or scan copies. If your China Visa is not an “L” visa, then you must also provide additional documents such as student certificates, work permits, residence permits and so on. If you enter Tibet by plane, you need original permit which we will mail it to your last hotel in mainland China, if you by train, only need copy of the permit, which we will send you by email. Tour Information:
Here I recommend you 15 days Kailash group tour below, sorry, since this is group tour, basically everything is fixed, so, we cannot find other transportation for you to avoid the trekking. What’s more, there is no public bus.
Please check the details below. Also, please let me know if your nationality is India, thank you!
Have a wonderful day!
Best Regards,
