Tibet Overland Tour

One of the best tours to Tibet is the 08 Days Tibet Overland tour whereby you fly to Lhasa and then drive overland back to Kathmandu. This is a spectacular overland journey from Lhasa to Kathmandu. You begin with an hour long Trans-Himalayan flight to Lhasa, which is the center of administration and authority in Tibet. This flight offers you the aerial view of some of the tallest mountains on earth. After two days of exciting sightseeing tours in and around Lhasa city you will begin the overland journey from Lhasa to Kathmandu via the Friendship highway passing through old Tibetan townships and high passes on the way along with sightseeing of the beautiful monasteries of these townships. 08 Days Tibet Overland tour provides you breathtaking views of the Himalayan ranges including Mt. Everest (8,848m) from the vicinity of the Friendship highway. The last part of the tour offers fascinating views of the incredible formation of the highest plateau of the world with awesomely beautiful rocks, cascades and canyons slightly hidden in the thin flying mists amidst the mighty presence of Mt. Xixapangma (8,212m). From the plateau we drive through lush greenery with cascading waterfalls towards Nepal.
