Top Things to Do for a 10-Day Tibet Tour
If you can set aside 10 days to visit Tibet, then congratulations! You are able to enjoy a trip that combines natural wonders, spiritual resonance and cultural experiences, full of surprises everywhere. These 10 days are just right for you to keep your mental state in high spirits all the time, without being overly tired due to the high-altitude environment, and even leaving you a little energy to continue your journey in China.
Spend Half a Day Enjoying the Magnificent Scale of Drepung Monastery
As the largest Tibetan Buddhism monastery, Drepung Monastery is by no means undeserved of its reputation. This temple is built against the mountain and is overall white and red, standing out particularly conspicuously and solemnly on the mountain. This is one of the important locations for the prominent Buddha exhibition during the Shoton Festival.
Spend Half a Day Witnessing a Philosophical Debate at Sera Monastery
Half a day is just right for you to watch a complete debating event, which is held daily at Sera Monastery. The debating here is highly dynamic, with rich body language and passionate emotions, allowing tourists who do not understand the local language to be deeply influenced by its religious atmosphere.
Spend a Day Visiting Two Sites of the World Cultural Heritage Plus a Historical Street
The Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Street, these three scenic spots are not only geographically adjacent but also share a common historical and cultural heritage. Connecting them together enables you to deeply experience the religious, political and urban life of Lhasa in the shortest time. The Potala Palace is as beautiful under the sun as it looks at night. It is the most representative scenic spot in Tibet and needs no further introduction. The Jokhang Temple is regarded as the center of Tibetan Buddhism faith, where a 12-year-old life-sized statue of Sakyamuni brought by Princess Wencheng is enshrined. Barkhor Street is a commercial and cultural street surrounded by the Jokhang Temple, which is rich in religious culture and integrates dining and purchasing souvenirs. The kora path on Barkhor Street is bustling with believers waving prayer wheels from morning till night.
Spend Half a Day Appreciating the Changing Colors on the Surface of Yamdrok Lake
What is the blue of Yamdrok Lake like? The answer from everyone's mouth is not the same, as the colors of it are extremely rich as the light changes and the viewing angle varies. Even though the natural scenery of Yamdrok Lake is breathtakingly beautiful, its religious culture is by no means thin. As one of the Three Sacred Lakes, Yamdrok Lake is often surrounded by believers who come to do kora. Nearby, the Rituo Temple is constantly filled with incense smoke.
Spend Half a Day Admiring Karola Glacier within Easy Reach
There is no need to trek over mountains and through valleys. The Karola Glacier is located on the way from Yamdrok Lake to Shigatse. And this is a natural wonder that you will never forget for the rest of your life at first sight.
Spend Two Days Beholding Mount Everest from Different Viewing Platforms
It would be such a pity if one could only see one view of Mount Everest. After all, it is the highest peak in the world. Whether it's at the Gawula Pass, Dingri Viewing Platform, the Everest Base Camp, Rongbuk Monastery, or Dingjie Xilin Viewing Platform, every time you see Mount Everest, you will have a new experience.
Spend a Day Experiencing the Vastness And Boundlessness of the Northern Tibet
Only when you come to the northern grassland of Nagqu can you understand what it means to have an endless view. Only when you arrive at the largest lake in Tibet, Siling Co can you understand what it means to be a paradise for wild animals.
Spend a Day Marveling at the North Shore of Namtso Lake
The view from the northern shore of Lake Namtso is far more expansive than that of Yamdrok Lake. The primordial purity and tranquility here make it perfect for meditating by this lake, accompanied by the miraculously crafted masterpiece, the Holy Elephant Gate.
Conclusion
When one day you are willing to put your ideas into practice and a trip to Tibet is firmly on your schedule, our team is always ready to be your solid support.

plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April
Hi! I would like to plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April (3rd to 10th ideally) to Nepal, Tibet, and, if possible, Bhutan. Do you think it would be doable? Based on what I read, there are some places/things to do to consider: Nepal: Everest Base Camp trek and the Annapurna Circuit, ancient temples, sacred sites like Lumbini, Kathmandu, Tibet: The Potala Palace in Lhasa and the Jokhang Temple. eventually the holy Mount Kailash or the high-altitude plains. Bhutan: Thimphu, Paro, and the famous Tiger’s Nest Monastery. To take part in cultural traditions, yoga, meditation... Of course I am open to any recommendations you could make. For your reference, we are both based in Asia: him, in Bangkok and myself in Macau. Thank you so much for the information you could provide and, if possible, an estimated budget for your offer.
