🧭 กำหนดการเดินทาง

D1
Arrive in Lhasa
Welcome to Lhasa, the snowy plateau. The altitude here is 3,650 meters. When you first arrive in Lhasa, it is recommended to walk slowly and not get overly excited. We will safely deliver you to the hotel and assist with check-in registration. We suggest resting as much as possible after checking in, moving around less, and not rushing to take a shower or wash your hair. Let your body adapt to the plateau first. Lhasa Railway Station is located in the suburbs of Lhasa, about 8 kilometers from the Potala Palace. Along the way, it crosses the Lhasa River, and you can enjoy the scenery on both banks of the Lhasa River from the vehicle. Lhasa Airport is located in Gonggar County, Shannan City, about 60 kilometers from downtown Lhasa, and the drive takes about 1 hour. Along the way, you can enjoy distinctive Tibetan villages and pastoral scenery.
🍽️ Breakfast, lunch, and dinner on your own 🏨 Lhasa
D2
Lhasa City Day Tour: Potala Palace + Jokhang Temple + Barkhor Street
In the morning, you will visit 【Potala Palace】, the world's highest ancient palace-style architectural complex. Climb up the long stairs step by step, overlooking Lhasa as you go, taking in the grandeur of the city. While taking photos and resting, you will then enter the Potala Palace with a professional guide to explore this mysterious and ancient palace for which very few images are shown online. In the afternoon, you will visit 【Jokhang Temple】, the holy site in the hearts of Tibetan Buddhist believers. Jokhang Temple enshrines the twelve-year-old life-size statue of Shakyamuni, which was brought from Kathmandu by Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal, whom the Tubo king Songtsen Gampo married at the time. After leaving Jokhang Temple, you can go to the handicraft market on 【Barkhor Street】 to carefully choose souvenirs, or wander aimlessly and find a sweet tea house, sit by the window, enjoy tea and daydream at leisure. Lhasa's sunlight pours down from the transparent blue sky, enough to clear away all tedious and negative emotions. 【Friendly Reminders】 Potala Palace tickets use a pre-purchase system and have fixed visiting times. We will flexibly adjust the itinerary according to the actual reserved visiting time. Entering the Potala Palace requires passing through a security check; dangerous items are strictly prohibited, and photography is not allowed inside the Potala Palace.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch included, dinner included 🏨 Lhasa
D3
Lhasa - Yamdrok Lake - Karola Glacier - Gyantse (Pelkor Chode Monastery, Gyantse Dzong) - Shigatse
In the morning, you will depart from Lhasa and cross the 4,990-meter-high Gambala Snow Mountain. Here you can look into the distance at the Gambala Radar Station. Afterwards, follow the old road to Yamdrok Lake, the highest freshwater lake in the world and known as a holy lake in the sky. Yamdrok Yumtso, or Yamdrok Lake for short, means "Jade Lake" in Tibetan. It is a freshwater lake and one of the three great holy lakes of Tibet. The lake water is as clear as mutton fat and sweet enough to drink. The deep blue lake blends with the distant snow mountains, together with the varied mountain ranges on both banks, the highly distinctive Tibetan villages, and the livestock everywhere. The whole journey is refreshing and delightful. After visiting Yamdrok Lake, you will drive via Nagarze to visit the 5,000-meter-plus [Karola Glacier]. Karola Glacier is located beside the road, like a giant thangka hanging on the mountain wall, crystal clear and spotlessly white, so close that it seems one could touch it. Then you will go to Gyantse County to visit Pelkor Chode Monastery, the only one that integrates the three major schools of Tibetan Buddhism and is famous for its exquisite murals and carvings, also known as the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda (at your own expense), and visit the Dzong Hill Anti-British Cannon Fort (a solemn site of the anti-British army, where you can feel the bearing of the heroic city). Finally, you will arrive in Shigatse, the second largest city in Tibet, and check into the hotel for rest.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch included, dinner included 🏨 Shigatse
D4
Shigatse - Tingri - Everest - Shishapangma - Peiku Tso - Saga
After breakfast, you will drive past Lhatse and arrive at Tingri County. As you approach Tingri County, there is a Mount Everest viewing platform where you can gaze at the majestic figure of the world's highest peak - [Mount Everest]. After lunch in Tingri, drive to the most breathtaking glacier group in the Himalayas, the Shishapangma Glacier Group. Shishapangma Peak stands at 8,012 meters, ranking fourteenth among the world's 14 peaks above 8,000 meters, and is the only 8,000-meter peak entirely within China. The most captivating feature is the ice tower zone at 5,000-5,800 meters, serene and beautiful, like a glacier garden. Under the sunlight, [Shishapangma Peak] is covered in white snow, a magnificent sight. Then drive to Peiku Tso. [Peiku Tso] is the largest lake in Shigatse Prefecture, about 300 square kilometers, with clear blue waters so blue they seem unreal. Along the lakeshore are various unique Tibetan plateau species and wildlife. Finally arrive in Saga for overnight stay.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch included, dinner included 🏨 Guesthouse
D5
Saga - Zhongba - Paryang - Tarchen (Lake Manasarovar, Mount Kailash, Rakshastal)
After breakfast, you will depart from Saga and pass through Zhongba and Paryang to reach [Mount Kailash]. Mount Kailash is the main peak of the Gangdise Mountains, with an altitude of 6,638 meters. In Sanskrit it is called "the heaven of Shiva (the name of a Hindu god)," and in Tibetan it means "Mountain of the Gods." Mount Kailash resembles a pyramid, with highly symmetrical walls on all four sides. Viewed from the south, you can see its famous symbol: a Buddhist swastika pattern formed by a huge vertical ice trough from the summit and a horizontal rock layer (a symbol of spiritual power in Buddhism, meaning the eternal existence of the Dharma, representing auspiciousness and protection). Mount Kailash is often shrouded in white clouds, and locals believe that being able to see the summit is a matter of great good fortune. Mount Kailash is a globally recognized sacred mountain and is also regarded by Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, Tibet's indigenous Bon religion, and ancient Jainism as the center of the world.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch included, dinner included 🏨 Guesthouse
D6
Tarchen - Zanda Earth Forest - Guge Kingdom - Zanda
In the morning you will set off to visit the [Zanda Earth Forest]. The Zanda Earth Forest covers an area of hundreds of square kilometers, and its landform is known geologically as fluvio-lacustrine facies. Hundreds of thousands of years of wind and rain have shaped the earth forest into all kinds of forms, making it especially spectacular; only standing beneath it do you feel how insignificant you are. Then you will continue to visit the [Guge Kingdom], a lost civilization. More than 700 years ago, over a hundred thousand people of the kingdom disappeared overnight, and to this day it remains a mystery. Just like the lost civilization of the Maya, this place also once reached a period of glory, and even now on the murals of the kingdom you can still see the culture of its former splendor. All that remains of this vast kingdom are magnificent ruins and relics—445 halls and houses of various kinds, 879 caves, 58 watchtowers, 28 stupas of various kinds, 10 defensive walls, and 4 secret passages, with a total area of 720,000 square meters. Guge has thus become a riddle within riddles in this mysterious region of Tibet. After the visit, return to Zanda County town for overnight accommodation.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch included, dinner included 🏨 Guesthouse
D7
Zanda - Sacred Mountain and Holy Lake - Burang
After breakfast, you will head to the holy lake [Lake Manasarovar], located 20 kilometers southeast of Mount Kailash and north of Mount Naimona'nyi. It sits at an altitude of 4,588 meters, covers an area of 412 square kilometers, and has a maximum depth of 70 meters. In terms of size, depth, and height, Lake Manasarovar can hardly rank among the "most" of all lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. But among the country of plateau lakes, it is revered as the noblest and most honored queen, and is worshipped as a holy lake by Bon, Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, and many other religions. It is one of the most famous lakes in Asia and indeed the entire world. Believers hold that Lake Manasarovar is nectar bestowed upon people by the Buddha. It can cleanse the filth from people's skin, wash away the five poisons from people's minds, and even prolong life. Therefore, everyone who comes to circumambulate the lake bathes here, and afterwards takes some lake water back as a gift for relatives and friends. When the weather is clear, the lake is azure blue, with gentle blue waves, white clouds and snow peaks reflected in it, and the distant mountains around the lake faintly visible. The scenery is extraordinarily beautiful. Then drive to Burang County.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch included, dinner included 🏨 Guesthouse
D8
Burang - Gongzhu Tso - Saga
In the morning, you will depart from Purang for Saga. Along the way, ice peaks and snow ridges are visible everywhere, with cliffs and precipices at every turn. The unique plateau scenery irresistibly attracts countless explorers to conquer, experience, and appreciate it. Tibetan children along the way bloom with smiles as bright as the plateau sunshine, their innocent eyes constantly filling you with awe and wonder. Pass by the plateau saltwater lake [Gongzhu Tso]. On the vast grasslands by the lake, herds of cattle and sheep fill your view. If you're lucky, you may even spot the adorable creature by the lake - the Tibetan antelope. The scenery along the way is full of western flavor, where you can admire the distinctive costumes of Tibetan residents and cattle and sheep roaming between green grasslands and snow-capped mountains, a picturesque pastoral scene.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch included, dinner included 🏨 Guesthouse
D9
Saga - Lang Tso - Lhatse - Shigatse
In the morning, you will depart from Saga and return to Shigatse. The scenery along the way is picturesque, but the severely desertified sandy land on both sides of the road constantly threatens passing vehicles. The road conditions are difficult, with some sections being sandy roads. Sang Sang Township in Ngamring County is an important accommodation point on the northern route of Ngari and a key transportation hub on the northern route, with many passing vehicles stopping here every day. The small town has relatively complete shops, hotels, and restaurants, making life convenient. After lunch in Sang Sang, continue to Langtso for photos, then continue on to Shigatse.
🍽️ Breakfast included, lunch included, dinner included 🏨 Shigatse
D10
Shigatse - Tashilhunpo Monastery - Lhasa
In the morning you will visit [Tashilhunpo Monastery], the seat of successive Panchen Lamas. Built in 1447, it is one of the six great monasteries of the Yellow Sect and the seat of successive Panchen Erdenis. Viewed from afar, the entire monastery is built along the hillside with high mountains behind it, its halls adjoining one another and its buildings rising in layers, the golden roofs and red walls of the main complex majestic, solid, spectacular, and resplendent. Inside the monastery, purple smoke rises from incense burners and lamps flicker on the offering tables, while the Buddhas have varied countenances. In the great halls monks chant sutras in orderly fashion; before the Buddha images, devotees bow in worship. For more than five hundred years it has strongly attracted Buddhist believers from home and abroad. Visitors come here to pay homage and to view it. The monastery enshrines a 26-meter-high bronze statue, the largest indoor bronze statue in the world—the Maitreya Buddha. After paying respects at the stupa of the Tenth Panchen Lama, you will tour the Shigatse free market. After lunch, drive back to Lhasa via the China-Nepal Highway.

📌 ข้อควรทราบในการจอง

· 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.
