🧭 Programme du voyage

D1
Pickup at Lhasa Railway Station or Airport
Welcome to Lhasa (elevation 3,650 meters), the holy city of the snowy plateau. Our driver will greet you outside Lhasa Railway Station (Airport) and take you to your hotel for check-in. After checking in, it is recommended not to wash your hair or take a shower, to reduce activity, slow everything down, and relax so you can adapt to the high-altitude environment as quickly as possible. Lhasa Railway Station is located in the suburbs of Lhasa, about 8 kilometers from the Potala Palace. The route crosses the Lhasa River, and you can enjoy the scenery on both banks from the vehicle. Lhasa Airport is located in Gonggar County of Shannan City, about 60 kilometers from downtown Lhasa. The drive takes about 1 hour, and along the way you can enjoy distinctive Tibetan villages and pastoral scenery.
🍽️ Breakfast, lunch, and dinner not included 🏨 Lhasa
D2
Lhasa City Day Tour: Potala Palace + Jokhang Temple + Barkhor Street
In the morning, you will visit the Potala Palace, the ancient palace-fortress architectural complex at the highest altitude in the world. This is the residence of successive Dalai Lamas and the center of Tibetan political and religious power. Before ascending the Potala Palace, you must climb 1,080 steps. Although it will be a little tiring, you can overlook the entire city of Lhasa, and the beautiful scenery will make you forget your physical fatigue! In the afternoon, you will visit the Jokhang Temple, the holy site in the hearts of Tibetan Buddhist believers. "Going to Lhasa without visiting the Jokhang Temple is equal to never having been to Lhasa." This is a saying by the famous lama Nyima Tsering at the Jokhang Temple, and it is a view almost every traveler agrees with. The Jokhang Temple blends Tibetan, Tang, Nepalese, and Indian architectural styles and is a timeless model of Tibetan religious architecture. After leaving the Jokhang Temple, you can walk clockwise around the Jokhang Temple as its center, imagining yourself as a Tibetan doing a kora, or go to the handicraft market on Barkhor Street for some shopping, or simply stroll slowly along the streets, feel the warmth of the Sunshine City, or find a sweet tea house and learn from Tibetan friends their tranquility and contentment.

D3
Lhasa - Yamdrok Lake - Karola Glacier - Manla Reservoir - Shigatse
After breakfast, you will depart from Zedang for Shigatse in Tsang. Along the way you will cross the 【Gambala Pass】 at 5,030 meters, which is also the best place to overlook Yamdrok Lake. The azure sky and lake water reflect each other, and the pure lake water shows different shades of blue under the sunlight, a breathtaking sight. Afterward, you will visit the world's highest freshwater lake, Yamdrok Lake. 【Yamdrok Lake】, abbreviated as Yamdrok, means "Lake of Swans" in Tibetan. At an altitude of 4,441 meters, it is one of the three great holy lakes of Tibet, and its beauty is unmatched in southern Tibet. The clear lake water, towering snow mountains, and spotless blue sky merge into one, and the picturesque scenery makes people linger and forget to return. After visiting Yamdrok Lake, you will drive via Nagarze to visit 【Karola Glacier】 at over 5,000 meters above sea level. Karola Glacier is located beside the highway, like a giant thangka hanging on the mountain wall, crystal clear and spotless white, so close that it seems you could touch it. Afterward, you will continue toward Shigatse. Along the way you will pass 【Noijin Kangsang Snow Mountain】 and 【Manla Reservoir】. Noijin Kangsang Snow Mountain is surrounded by white clouds year-round, with snow particles drifting and falling, accumulating and compacting throughout the year to form ice layers 20-100 meters thick. Under the influence of its own gravity, the ice layers move slowly and have developed into many glaciers. Manla Reservoir is similar to Yamdrok Lake, a stretch of emerald water embedded among the mountains. Although it is a man-made reservoir, the turquoise lake water set against the distant mountains also appears especially beautiful. Afterward, arrive in Shigatse for overnight stay.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch included, dinner included 🏨 Shigatse
D4
Shigatse - Tashilhunpo Monastery - Lhasa
In the morning, you will drive to visit [Tashilhunpo Monastery], the seat of successive Panchen Lamas. Built in 1447, it is one of the six great monasteries of the Gelug school. It also enshrines the world's largest indoor bronze seated Buddha statue, the Maitreya Buddha, built in 1914 under the supervision of the Ninth Panchen Lama, Chökyi Nyima. The monastery also preserves Buddhist scriptures written in gold powder, such as the Kangyur and Tengyur. After the visit, you will drive back to Lhasa, enjoying along the way the exquisite scroll-like scenery of the Lhasa River valley composed of shallow water, distant forests, mountain shadows, blue sky and white clouds, sunlight, grassy rings, reflections, shimmering water, and ripples. Finally, you will return to your hotel in Lhasa to rest.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch included, dinner included 🏨 Lhasa
D5
Lhasa - Samye Monastery - Yumbulagang - Lhasa
After breakfast, you will first visit [Samye Monastery], known as "Tibet's first monastery." Located at the foot of Habu Mountain on the north bank of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, Samye Monastery is the first monastery in Tibetan Buddhist history to possess all three treasures of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. It houses cultural heritage from various historical periods since the Tubo Dynasty, including murals and sculptures. In the afternoon, you will visit [Yumbulagang], the first palace in Tibetan history. Yumbulagang is also one of Tibet's earliest buildings, located atop Mount Zaxizhari on the east bank of the Yarlong River. It is said to have been built by Bon followers in the 2nd century BC for the first Tibetan king, Nyatri Tsenpo. It later became the summer palace of Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng in Shannan, and was converted to a Gelug monastery during the time of the 5th Dalai Lama. Afterwards, you will return to Lhasa.

📌 Informations de réservation

· 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 19-4 days before the itinerary starts: a penalty of 30% of the deposit paid will be charged. 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. Optional paid items will be considered according to the group joining time that day and the proportion of participants in favor, and no forced consumption will be imposed.
