🧭 일정

D1
Arrive in Lhasa, transfer to hotel and rest
Take a plane or train to arrive in the holy city of Lhasa. The driver will welcome you outside the airport or train station and present you with the purest white khata of the plateau to welcome your arrival, then transfer you to your pre-booked hotel to check in and rest. Warm Tips 1. When you first arrive in Lhasa, do everything slowly, keep a relaxed mindset, and do not get too excited. A good mindset is the best way to prevent and overcome altitude sickness. 2. When you first arrive in Lhasa, do not rush out to sightsee. It is best to rest at the hotel on the first day. Try not to shower or wash your hair on the first night, and let your body slowly adapt to the plateau environment. 3. The climate in Tibet is relatively dry, so drink more water and eat more vegetables and fruits, and moisturize your skin before going to sleep.

Lhasa - Zhaji Temple - Nyingchi Basum Tso
In the morning, visit Zhaji Temple, the only temple of wealth in Tibet. [Zhaji Temple] is small, but its incense offerings are especially flourishing, and many tourists come here specifically to pray for prosperity. Legend has it that the wealth deity Zaki Lhamo enshrined in Zhaji Temple loves drinking alcohol, so people often use offering wine and incense as items of worship. After visiting Zhaji Temple, you will travel east along China's most beautiful expressway, the [Lhasa-Nyingchi Expressway], to Nyingchi, known as the Jiangnan of Tibet. This afternoon, you will mainly visit Nyingchi's most famous attraction, [Basum Co]. Basum Co is the only natural 5A-level scenic area in Tibet and is known as the "Little Switzerland" of Nyingchi. The scenic area combines snow mountains, lakes, forests, waterfall pastures, cultural relics and historic sites, and famous ancient temples. Its scenery is distinctive and varies with the four seasons, and it gathers many rare wild plants, truly a paradise on earth. After arriving at Basum Co, you need to take the scenic area shuttle to the core scenic area of Basum Co, the Island in the Lake. Legend says this island is a "hollow island," meaning the island is not connected to the lake bottom but floats on the water. On the island there is also the Tang Dynasty building "Cuozong Gongba Temple," a famous temple of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. After visiting the Island in the Lake, you can take the shuttle to Dagila Viewing Platform. This requires hiking; step by step along the clean stairs, slowly climb to the top, where you can overlook the panoramic view of Basum Co. In the evening, stay at a hotel or guesthouse in the Basum Co scenic area.

Along the way, you will see alpine pastures, pristine forests, winding streams, and herds of cattle and sheep everywhere, allowing you to experience the purest natural scenery up close.

Lhasa city day tour: Potala Palace + Tibetan culture experience
Today is mainly spent sightseeing in Lhasa. In the morning, visit the Potala Palace, the ancient palace-fortress architectural complex at the highest altitude in the world. Climb up along the long stairs step by step, overlooking Lhasa as you go, taking in the magnificent view of the city. You can take photos as souvenirs while resting, then enter the Potala Palace to explore this mysterious ancient palace for which very few images are shown online. After visiting the Potala Palace, you will go to the Tibetan Culture Experience Center to experience traditional Tibetan handicraft making. For example, while learning how refreshing Tibetan incense is made, you can also participate in making it by hand, which is completely different in meaning from buying Tibetan incense. There will also be a dedicated teacher to teach you how to write your own name in Tibetan script and do woodblock printing. The Tibetan incense you make by hand and the printed text can be taken home as souvenirs of your Tibet trip.

The main activity of the Shoton Festival is the Buddha unveiling ceremony, so after breakfast you will set out early for Drepung Monastery to see the grand Buddha unveiling ceremony. At the ceremony, a thangka of Shakyamuni Buddha dozens of zhang high is slowly displayed on the Buddha unveiling platform amid devout chanting. Tens of thousands of monks and laypeople surround the huge Buddha thangka, tossing khata and bowing devoutly. The scene is very grand and spectacular. After visiting the Buddha unveiling ceremony, in the afternoon you will go to [Zongjiao Lukang Park] at the foot of the Potala Palace to experience the special [Lingka] activity. Everyone sits in a circle, with some biscuits, dried fruit, tsampa, sweet tea, snacks, and so on laid out, chatting freely and experiencing the Tibetan-style picnic atmosphere. Moreover, during the Shoton Festival, Zongjiao Lukang Park also hosts lively Tibetan opera performances.

Lhasa - Namtso - Lhasa
In the early morning, you will drive through the Northern Tibet Grassland, with colorful prayer flags fluttering in the wind along the way. Then you will speed along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway and cross the 5,190-meter Laken La Mountain. At Laken La Pass, you can experience the special activity of hanging prayer flags to pray for family and friends. Afterward, arrive at [Namtso, the "Heavenly Lake"], the foremost of Tibet's three great sacred lakes. Namtso is 4,718 meters above sea level, the highest large lake in the world, and China's second-largest saltwater lake. To the south is the year-round snow-capped Nyainqentanglha Mountains, and to the north and west are plateau hills. The broad lakeshore is surrounded by grasslands with lush water and grass; the lake water has a high salt content, and wildlife resources within the basin are abundant, including yaks and goats; the lake has many wild birds and produces scale fish and scaleless fish; the lake water is clear and reflects the surrounding snow mountains, with beautiful scenery. Namtso is like a sparkling pearl inlaid on the vast Changtang Grassland. After the visit, return to Lhasa by the same route. Tip: The drive today is relatively long and tiring, so you need to get up early. The northern Tibet region is at a relatively high altitude, so please bring a thick coat, apply sunscreen, and bring sunglasses and a hat.

Lhasa - Yamdrok Lake - Lhasa
After breakfast, you will drive to visit 【Yamdrok Lake】, one of the three great sacred lakes of Tibet. Along the way, you will cross the 5,030-meter Gambala Pass, then drive along the road by the shore of Yamdrok Lake for about 30 minutes. This route offers the best angles for viewing Yamdrok Lake, with multiple viewing platforms along the way where you can stop and take photos. Yamdrok Lake has a total of 3 viewing platforms. Gambala Pass is the first viewpoint, where you can admire the winding lake scenery. The halfway point is the second viewpoint, suitable for portrait photos. The viewing platform near the lake surface is the third, where you can experience Yamdrok Lake up close and gaze at the distant snow mountains. Yamdrok Lake means "Coral Sea" in Tibetan. The lake surface is at an altitude of 4,441 meters, with a water area of 650 square kilometers, equivalent to 70 times the area of Hangzhou's West Lake. The lake water is as clear as mutton fat, and the azure water merges with the distant snow mountains, its beauty unrivaled in southern Tibet. After visiting Yamdrok Lake, return to Lhasa city. For those departing today, we will arrange a driver to send you to the airport or train station. If departing today, the driver will drop you off in Lhasa city center to disband. At this point, this special Shoton Festival itinerary comes to an end. We welcome you to visit Tibet again next time.

📌 예약 안내

· 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.
