05 days Shangri la Tour to Tibet ! Tibet Shangri-La tour

Throughout history, Lhasa has remained the spiritual, political and economic centre of Tibet. Lhasa houses most of the important monasteries and cultural treasures of Tibet. A visit to Lhasa is not just the visit of Tibet’s capital but it will allow an opportunity to experience Tibetan culture, visit the numerous heritage sites and watch the daily life of the Tibetans.

 

Our trip starts with a spectacular flight across the Himalaya from Kathmandu to Lhasa. You will see Mt Everest and a long range of the Himalayas from the flight. In Lhasa we visit the holiest of Tibetan Temple Jokhang and the nearby traditional marketplace of Barkhor  Bazaar.  Watching the Tibetan pilgrims who come to this temple from all over Tibet is a great experience and gives an insight on the religious Tibetan life. Our tour also covers the famous Potala and Norbulingka Palace of the Dalai Lamas and important Gelugpa monasteries of  Drepung and Sera  where there used to be up to 10,000 monks in  the days gone .The sights and atmosphere in Lhasa is very different , unusual and unique. With exotic impressions and memories of Lhasa and its friendly religious people we return to Kathmandu by flight or to mainland China

 

This tour is suitable for people having very short holidays to visit Tibet or for elderly people who cannot cope with  high altitude in other parts of Tibet or for people who want to travel to Tibet with their kids.
