The Lhasa Cultural Tour offers a scenic overland journey from Nepal into the heart of Tibet. Traveling via the Kerung border, the route gradually ascends through dramatic Himalayan landscapes into the vast Tibetan plateau. This approach allows better acclimatization while offering spectacular mountain views along the way.
Lhasa, the spiritual capital of Tibet, is home to magnificent monasteries, sacred temples, and vibrant traditional markets. The city reflects centuries of Buddhist philosophy, devotion, and architectural beauty.
