Where are the main attractions?

Many people are attracted by the featured culture of Tibet. If you want to visit some Buddhist sites to feel the strong Buddhist atmosphere, the Holy City Lhasa, where many important Buddhist sites (like Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Street, Drepung Monastery...) are located is the right place. Many travelers also travel to Mount Everest to Lhasa via Gyantse and Shigatse, because there are lots of landscapes (including Yamdrok Lake, Karola Glacier, Gyantze Dzong, Palcho Monastery...), both natural and cultural, along the way. Some travelers may extend their tour to Ngari (Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar located) for an in-depth adventure or pilgrimage. For history lovers, Shannan, where Tibet's first palace (Yumblakang Palace) and monastery (Samye Monastery) are located, is a nice choice. For travelers who are interested in Swizerland-style nature, Nyingchi has forests, canyons, lakes, etc.

How to Plan A Tibet Tour

Tibet is too vast to be visited in one single trip, but planning ahead of time can make most of your holiday. A classic Tibet tour always takes about 4 ~ 8 days. Apart from 2 days for arrival and departure, it usually needs 2 other days to explore majestic Potala Palace and other landmarks in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. With a day trip’s distance from Lhasa, Namtso Lake is another perfect tour extension if you visit Tibet from May to October.
