Latest Update: June,21 2023
In additional to profound Tibetan Buddhism, it is the breathtaking alpine scenery like lofty mountains and sacred lakes that truly set Tibet tour apart from travel in other countries worldwide. The 8 Days Central Tibet and Namtso Small Group Tour features the two of the most famous sacred lakes (Namtso, Yamdrok) and view of world’s summits (such as Mt. Everest, Lhotse, etc) along the Himalayan Range, not to mention a galaxy of holy Buddhist Monasteries from Lhasa to Shigatse. Let’s share the memorable tour experience of 17th group in June.
Reach the Eastern Courtyard of Potala Palace
Inside the Potala Palace are abundant statues, mandalas and tombs. Tourists can visit the living room and guest rooms used by successive Dalai Lama in White Palace. While in the Red Palace mostly are the tombs of generations of Dalai Lama. The imposing architecture and brilliant panorama of old town of Lhasa city on Potata Palace were incredible.
Colorful Rainbow Appears after Sudden Rain above Jokhang Temple
As the spiritual heart of Lhasa and Tibet, Jokhang Temple and its surrounding Barkhor Street are the best place to witness the Tibetan pilgrims’ pilgrimage and their fervent devotion to Buddhism. You can see pilgrims prostrating back and forth at the entrance of Jokhang Temple or on Barkhor Street.
Enjoy the Dinner in Downtown Lhasa
Tibetan food is known for its tasty flavor and nutritious ingredients. Influenced by its neighboring countries, i.e. Nepal and India, Tibetan food can be easily gotten used to and never forget to toss for health and peace with the world-renown Lhasa beer. As the organizer of Tibet tour, Tibet Vista only takes tourists to restaurants with food safety guarantee throughout your stay in Tibet.

Tour Drepung Monastery, one of the three well-known Gelugpa Monasteries in Lhasa
Drepung Monastery is one of the major places for gigantic Thangka unfolding during grand festivals like Shoton festival. Inside the massive Buddhist complex is a long stair leading to the top. Your challenging hike will be rewarded with stunning skyline of Lhasa valley.
Pull over to Play in the Field of Rapeseed Flowers
Unlike other provinces, the rapeseed blossoms quite late from May to Sep in Tibet, largely due to the high altitude.
Idyllic Scene Seen on the Way to Namtso Lake
Ride on Adorable Yaks at the Lakeside of Heavenly Namtso Lake (4718m)
Namtso Lake, the second largest saline lake in Tibet (first being the Qinghai Lake), is known for its sapphire water at the back drop of stunning Mt. Nyenchen Thangla Ranges. It’s one of the top three sacred lakes in Tibet, a world-class lake for landscape photography. Its beauty simply defies human description.
Made it Everest Base Camp (5200m)
Everest Base Camp(5200m) is the closest place for most tourists to enjoy the grandeur of Mt. Everest (8844.43m). Unlikely the EBC (5364m) in Nepal where tourists can only trek to there, in Tibet tourists can choose trek from Tingri or Rongbuk Monastery to trek to EBC ( 8km) or simply take tour bus to there. Most tourists would choose to spend the night at cozy tent at EBC to enjoy the stunning sunrise next morning.
Hang Prayer Flags at EBC
Hanging prayer flags at mountaintop is one of most common ways in Tibet to pray for peace, compassion, longevity and wisdom. Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind and in this way the prayers will be chanted and subsequently the good will and compassion will be spread wide and afar.
