🧭 Organización del itinerario

D1
Lhasa-Yamdrok Lake-Shigatse
In the morning, you will depart from Lhasa by vehicle, following National Highway 318 to the bridge junction, and travel along the scenery of the Yarlung Tsangpo River to Gambala Pass (elevation 4,990 meters). This is the perfect spot to overlook 【Yamdrok Lake】(elevation 4,441 meters), one of the "Three Great Sacred Lakes of Tibet." From the Tibetan-style viewing platform adorned with fluttering colorful prayer flags and a huge mani pile, you can gaze at the clear, calm lake surface shimmering in varying shades of light blue, deep blue, and sky blue under the sunlight, reflecting the washed-clean blue sky, with towering snow mountains in the distance—an ultimate beauty unrivaled in southern Tibet. If you are lucky, you may even witness a wondrous scene with dark clouds on one side, a brilliant rainbow on another, and endless rosy clouds elsewhere. After lunch at Nagarze, you will continue to visit 【Karo La Glacier】(elevation 5,000 meters). Karo La Glacier is a glacier standing right by the roadside, like a giant thangka hanging on the mountain wall—crystal clear and pure white, so close it seems you could touch it. Next, you will head to the ancient city of Gyantse, hometown of heroes who fought against British invasion. This ancient city with over 600 years of history was also a key transportation hub from Front Tibet to Rear Tibet. Here you can gaze at the Gyantse Dzong Anti-British Invasion Site from afar, and visit the 【Pelkor Chode Monastery】, the only monastery in Tibet that integrates the three major sects, housing the Ten-Thousand-Buddha Stupa with stunning murals and carvings. Finally, you will arrive at Shigatse, the capital of Rear Tibet, for overnight accommodation.
🍽️ Breakfast, lunch, and dinner not included 🏨 Shigatse
D2
Shigatse-Tingri-Everest Base Camp
After breakfast, you will travel via Tingri to Everest Base Camp, passing through 【Gyawu La Pass】, where you can see the spectacular sight of four snow mountains over 8,000 meters arranged in a row. From left to right, these four snow mountains are: Makalu (8,463 m), Lhotse (8,516 m), Mount Everest (8,848 m), and Cho Oyu (8,201 m). Then you will take an eco-friendly shuttle bus to Everest Base Camp to experience the grandeur of nature. If you are lucky, you may also see Everest's banner cloud drifting like a fire of life. You will stay overnight at Everest Base Camp, where you can see up close the majestic posture of the world's highest peak—Mount Everest. Tip: The road from Shigatse to Everest is newly paved asphalt, in good condition, with winding mountain sections, so please bring motion sickness medicine. Accommodation at Base Camp is simple, with multi-person rooms, hot water, and no breakfast provided.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch not included, dinner not included 🏨 Everest Base Camp
D3
Rongbuk Monastery-Peiku Tso-Saga-Zhongba
In the early morning, while the peaks still slumber in the dawn, you will face the rising sun and gaze up at Mount Everest, receiving a spiritual baptism from the world's highest peak 【Mount Everest】 (8,844.43 meters). The summit is covered in snow that never melts year-round, with hanging glaciers and towering silver peaks, presenting a scene of pure sanctity. Afterwards, carrying your lingering appreciation of Everest's beauty, you will continue onward, passing through Tingri and Saga to Zhongba. Along the way, you can gaze at 【Shishapangma】 from the shores of 【Peiku Lake】. Tip: Today's driving time is relatively long and the altitude is quite high. Be mindful of motion sickness and prepare medication in advance.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch not included, dinner not included 🏨 Zhongba
D4
Payang-Zanda Earth Forest-Guge Kingdom-Tarchen
In the morning, you will drive to visit the Zhada Earth Forest. The Zhada Earth Forest covers hundreds of square kilometers, and its landform is geologically known as fluvio-lacustrine. Tens of thousands of years of wind and rain have shaped the earth forest into various forms, extremely spectacular; standing beneath it, one feels how insignificant one is. Next, you will visit the Guge Kingdom. This lost civilization—over 700 years ago, more than a hundred thousand people of the kingdom quietly disappeared overnight, still a mystery today. Like the lost Maya civilization, it once achieved glory, and even now the kingdom's murals still reveal its past splendor. The vast kingdom left behind only magnificent ruins and relics—445 halls and houses of various types, 879 caves, 58 watchtowers, 28 various stupas, 10 defensive walls, and 4 secret passages, covering a total area of 720,000 square meters. Guge has since become a riddle within the riddles of Tibet's mysterious regions. After the visit, you will drive back to Tarchen Town, where the sacred mountain and lake are located, for overnight stay. Tip: Driving time is long today; pay attention to balancing work and rest.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch not included, dinner not included 🏨 Tarchen
D5
Tarchen-Mount Kailash-Lake Manasarovar-Saga
After breakfast, you will drive to visit the sacred mountain 【Mount Kailash】. Mount Kailash is the main peak of the Gangdise Range, with an elevation of 6,638 meters. In Sanskrit it is called "the paradise of Shiva (the name of a Hindu deity)," and in Tibetan it means "Mountain of the Gods." Mount Kailash resembles a pyramid, with highly symmetrical sides. Viewed from the south, you can see its famous hallmark: a huge vertical ice groove running down from the summit combined with a horizontal rock layer forming a Buddhist swastika pattern (a symbol of spiritual power in Buddhism, meaning the eternal existence of Buddhist teachings, representing auspiciousness and protection). Mount Kailash is often shrouded in white clouds, and locals believe that seeing the summit is a matter of great fortune. Mount Kailash is also a globally recognized sacred mountain, simultaneously regarded as the center of the world by Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, the indigenous Tibetan religion Bon, and ancient Jainism. Afterwards, you will visit the sacred lake 【Lake Manasarovar】and the ghost lake 【Rakshastal】. After the visit, you will drive back to Saga County for overnight accommodation.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch not included, dinner not included 🏨 Saga County Town
D6
Saga-Coqên
Today the Ali Mini Loop journey begins, and the beauty of the Ali no-man's land will be revealed even more fully. After breakfast, you will depart from Saga and head north all the way to Coqên County, the midpoint of the "lake after lake" route. Along the way, you can feel the grandeur and desolate beauty of Ali, and the charm of "lake after lake" begins to unfold. Unnamed small lakes dot the journey; when you see beautiful scenery, do not hesitate to press the shutter.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch not included, dinner not included 🏨 Shigatse
D7
Coqên-Zhari Namtso-Dangra Yumtso-Wenbu South Village-Nyima County
Today you will depart from Coqên and first visit 【Zhari Namtso】. Zhari Namtso is the third-largest lake in Tibet (the largest is Siling Lake, and the second is Namtso, which you will also visit later). Its scenery is enchanting, and standing by the lakeshore you can take in a unique and extraordinary view. Next, you will continue onward to Tibet's most mysterious holy lake, 【Dangra Yumtso】. Dangra Yumtso is shaped like a vajra—round at the top, narrow in the middle, and broad at the bottom—surrounded by mountains on all sides, with the summit of Dargo Mountain to the south covered in snow that never melts year-round. Because the terrain here is relatively enclosed, it forms a comparatively warm and humid microclimate where highland barley can be grown, which is extremely rare in northern Tibet. By the lakeshore, there is also the most famous Tibetan village on the Ngari circuit, 【Wenbu South Village】, and 【Wenbu North Village】 on the shore of Dangqung Lake. After visiting, you will head to Nyima County for accommodation.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch not included, dinner not included 🏨 Nyima County
D8
Nyima County-Siling Tso-Baingoin County
In the early morning, you will depart from Nyima County and head to Tibet's second-largest lake—Siling Lake (altitude 4,500 meters). In Tibetan, Siling Lake means "Devil Lake Reflecting Mighty Light," and like Angla Ringtso, it is a ghost lake. Despite the seemingly terrifying name, what you see is blue water, herds of cattle and sheep, and a scene of highland pastures. After finding a place by Siling Lake for a picnic lunch, you will continue onward. Along the way, you can see many unnamed lakes large and small (Wuru Lake, Guogen Lake, Banggong Lake, etc.), which were once part of Siling Lake. Then you will drive all the way to Baingoin County (altitude 4,750 meters) and stay overnight in Baingoin County.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch not included, dinner not included 🏨 Baingoin County
D9
Baingoin-South Shore of Namtso (Tashi Peninsula)-Lhasa
In the morning, you will depart from Baingoin, enjoying the beauty of alpine grasslands along the Nyainqentanglha Range, gradually approaching the last great lake of the itinerary: 【Namtso】(elevation 4,700 meters), which means "Heavenly Lake" in Tibetan. Legend has it that the lake water is the tears shed by a fairy at the foot of the Nyainqentanglha mountain god. Namtso is the highest-altitude large lake in the world and the second-largest saltwater lake in China. To the south lies the year-round snow-capped Nyainqentanglha Range, and to the north and west are plateau hills. Namtso's waters are clear, complementing the surrounding snow mountains, with beautiful scenery—like a sparkling pearl inlaid on the vast Changtang grassland. In the evening, you will return to Lhasa accompanied by the glow of the setting sun.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch not included, dinner not included 🏨 None

📌 Información de reserva

· 1. Patients with severe high blood pressure or heart disease are advised not to go to Tibet, and tourists with severe colds should wait until they have recovered before entering Tibet. · 2. Tibet is located on a plateau, and most guests will experience altitude sickness to a greater or lesser degree. As long as you pay attention to rest and eat properly (do not eat too much, which increases the burden on your stomach and intestines) and relax, mild altitude sickness generally disappears in about 1-3 days, so there is no need to worry too much; a very small number of travelers may experience severe altitude sickness, and as long as you communicate promptly with the guide or driver, you can receive timely oxygen or be sent to a hospital. · 3. Because the routes in Tibet are long, much time is spent in the vehicle, and it is unavoidable that meals may not be eaten on time, so please bring some snacks and biscuits. · 4. Due to Tibet's special conditions, please pay attention to keeping warm. On the first day, please try not to take a shower, as showering accelerates blood circulation and increases the body's demand for oxygen. · 5. Tibet has strong sunlight and an especially dry climate, so sunscreen, sunglasses, lip balm, and similar items are essential. · 6. April to November each year is a relatively suitable time to travel to Tibet. · 1. The above itineraries welcome tourists from all over the world to sign up. Tourists from outside the mainland who travel to Tibet should consult customer service in advance to handle the relevant procedures. The above prices do not include tax. · 2. If you cancel the itinerary after registration for personal reasons, the refund standards are as follows: Cancellation more than 20 days before the itinerary starts: free cancellation.

Cancellation within 3 days before the itinerary starts: a penalty of 50% of the deposit paid will be charged. Cancellation 1 day before the itinerary starts: the deposit is non-refundable. · 3. If increased costs are incurred or the itinerary cannot be toured normally due to force majeure factors such as landslides, mudslides, avalanches, floods, earthquakes, and other natural phenomena, or due to airline flight delays or cancellations, according to relevant tourism regulations our agency will not bear the corresponding compensation liability, but we will actively coordinate and handle the matter so that the itinerary can proceed smoothly. · 4. If guests fail to complete activities during the tour or leave the group early for personal reasons, it will be regarded as automatic abandonment, and the fees will not be refunded. · 5. June, July, August, and September each year are the peak season for Tibet tourism. Joining our agency can guarantee Potala Palace tickets. To protect the Potala Palace historic site, only 2,300 tourists can be received each day, so the Potala Palace visit may be moved earlier or later. · 6. Without affecting the originally set standards and attractions, our agency may change the order of attraction visits according to the actual situation on the day of the itinerary. · 7. Patients with severe high blood pressure, asthma, or heart disease should not join the group, and patients with colds should enter Tibet after recovery. · 8. Tibet is a border ethnic minority region, and tourism reception conditions are limited. We hope all tourists will have reasonable expectations, respect the cultural beliefs and living habits of ethnic minority compatriots, and live together harmoniously. · 9. If a natural single room occurs due to gender reasons, our agency will arrange a triple room (or a standard twin room with an extra bed), or the guest will pay the single room supplement. · 10. Shops in scenic areas and Tibetan folk villages are not shopping stops arranged by the travel agency. Please consider carefully. · 11.
