Top-Rated Tibet Tour Package: 8 Days in Lhasa, Shigatse & Everest Base Camp

There is such a popular route that connects Tibet's two UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites: the Potala Palace and the Jokhang Temple, taking you from Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region, to Shigatse, the second largest city in the region, and onward to the Everest Base Camp—the closest point accessible to common tourists to witness the world's highest peak. Along the way, not a single natural wonder is missed, such as the Karola Glacier, the Yamdrok Lake, one of the Three Sacred Lakes where faith gathers, or the most iconic attractions in Lhasa and Shigatse, such as Drepung Monastery, Barkhor Street, and Tashilhunpo Monastery.

This is the very route that can be completed in 8 days and it ends in Lhasa, making it convenient for tourists to return home or continue China trip. What's even more surprising is that it is a group tour route with a fairly affordable price. This travel package has naturally risen to the top as our agency's best-selling one.

This 8-Day Lhasa to Everest Base Camp Tour Is Friendly to First-Time Visitors

Some tourists visiting Tibet for the first time are rather concerned about altitude sickness. However, when they learn that they will spend the first three days of their trip sightseeing in the urban area of Lhasa, their anxiety is immediately relieved. The altitude of Lhasa urban area is only 3,650 meters. Coupled with high-quality accommodation conditions and abundant tourism resources, it is very convenient to purchase all kinds of daily necessities. Tourists are able to spend a very relaxing and pleasant time here before going to high-altitude areas. This itinerary involves high-altitude attractions such as Yamdrok Lake, Karola Glacier, and the Everest Base Camp. All of these visits follow the principle of gradually increasing altitude to help tourists mitigate the impact of altitude sickness to the greatest extent possible.

This 8-Day Lhasa to Everest Base Camp Tour Is Ideal for Budget-Conscious Tourists

It is a small group tour with a minimum departure of 3 people and no more than 12 people, which strikes a balance between cost-effectiveness and comfort. Since tourists in a group share the service fees of the tour guide and driver, as well as the transportation costs during the trip, and can also share a double standard room in the hotel with another tour member, the overall price is at least 30% cheaper than that of a private customized tour. Whether you are a solo traveler or a backpacker, choosing a group tour can help you spend your money wisely.
