Overview

Explore Lhasa Tour, is the shortest possible tour of Lhasa and is very popular among international travelers. This Lhasa tour provides an opportunity to explore the natural wonders of Lhasa and learn about the ancient culture and traditions of people living on isolated land high up the mountain range of the Himalayas. Lhasa literally translates to “place of gods”, situated at an elevation of 3,600 meters on the central part of the Tibetan Plateau surrounded by mountains of 5,500 meters. Lhasa is a pilgrimage dream and the heart and soul of Tibet and an ultimate destination for explorers. A city was frozen in time full of wonders, despite the large-scale encroachments of modern Chinese influence.

The Lhasa tour begins and ends in the heart of Tibet, Lhasa, and covers popular landmarks of this beautiful city such as the Dalai Lama’s Potala and Norbulingka Palaces, the Tibet Museum, and Barkhor Bazaar. You’ll also be visiting a number of ancient Tibetan monasteries in Lhasa like Sera Monastery, Drepung Monastery, and Jokhang Temple followed by a trip to the outskirts of Lhasa where you’ll be visiting the 15th century Ganden Monastery and the Drayerpa Cave, a meditative sanctuary for Tibetan monks.

Explore Lhasa Tour gives you a glimpse of the world that has been disappearing and takes you to landscapes of formidable peaks and meandering paths on mountains tops on the roof of the world.

Detail Itineraries

The flight into Tibet is mesmerizing, with views of the high Himalayan plateau, Once you arrive at the Gonggar Airport in Lhasa, Tibet’s administrative capital and one of the highest cities in the world, meet with your representative from the Alpine Club of Himalaya and your Tibetan guide. If you fly into Lhasa from Nepal, you'll enjoy an hour of breathtaking views of the endless Himalayan ranges which are considered one of the most beautiful aerial routes in the world. If you choose to travel via mainland China, you may fly in or take the world’s highest train route to Lhasa. Once you're done with immigration at Lhasa head towards your accommodation and rest. It is advised to rest for the day to adjust to the high altitude and minimize altitude sickness, as Lhasa is at an elevation of about 3,600 meters (11,800 feet) and lies in the center of the Tibetan Plateau surrounded by mountains rising to 5,500 meters (18,000 feet), the air only contains 68 percent of oxygen, and can be a problem for some travelers.

Mr Sujan help us to select this tour as per our interest. He did the best job by planning this tour. During this tour, we were able to Explore Lhasa Tour, the shortest possible tour of Lhasa, is very popular amongst international travelers. We visited Dalai Lama’s Potala and Norbulingka Palaces, the Tibet Museum and Barkhor Bazaar. We also visited a number of impressive Tibetan monasteries in Lhasa like Sera Monastery, Drepung Monastery and Jokhang Temple. They were all amazing monasteries with a history and religious relevance of their own. This trip also took us further to the outskirts of Lhasa where we visited the 15th century Ganden Monastery and explore the Drayerpa Cave, which is still a meditative sanctuary for Tibetan monks. I would like to recommend Alpine to my friends and family.
