YOUR JOURNEY

Your journey

7-Day Lhasa, Shigatse & Everest Base Camp Tour forms a round trip from Lhasa, with Yamdrok Lake, Shigatse, Shigatse, Tashilhunpo Monastery arranged between the outward and return legs. Travel west from Lhasa through Yamdrok Lake and Shigatse to the permitted Everest Base Camp visitor area, returning at a conservative pace. Lhasa is about 3,650 metres and Shigatse about 3,850 metres; palace stairs, monastery courtyards and the high road past Yamdrok require a slower walking pace than the distances alone suggest. Return to Lhasa after Tashilhunpo Monastery. Tsampa, sweet tea, yak yoghurt or a noodle soup provide practical high-altitude meals, while prayer circuits around Jokhang and Tashilhunpo should be walked clockwise. The route is best suited to travelers who prefer a private guide, a named set of sights and time for a proper meal in each place, with the daily emphasis on a focused private journey with a balanced daily rhythm. Opening hours, traffic and local access are checked during the trip, allowing the guide to reorder visits when needed.
