Embarking on a Spectacular Journey to Everest Base Camp in October
Latest Update: June,18 2024
October is one of the best times to travel to Everest Base Camp (5200m). After the rainy season from mid-June to August, tourists are more likely to enjoy the golden summit of Mt. Everest at sunset and gorgeous flag clouds over the summit. Tourists can experience the impressive pilgrimage of Tibetan pilgrims and plenty of most celebrated Tibetan monasteries in Lhasa city. And later keep moving southwestward to historic Gyantse city and all the way to Shigatse and Everest Base Camp. Let’s join the clients of the 1st EBC tour of Oct and share their fabulous tour in Tibet.
Tour Jokhang Temple, the Spiritual Heart of Tibet
Although Potala Palace is the most iconic place in Tibet, the holiest place in Lhasa, to most of locals and Tibetan pilgrims, is the Jokhang Temple, largely because the temple was jointly built by king Songtsen Gampo and Nepali princess Bhrikuti and princess Wencheng from Tang. Besides, it is the only place where the 12-year-old Shakyamuni Buddha’s gilt bronze was enshrined. Joining the Tibetan pilgrims in the Nangkhor Kora, the pilgrimage closest to Buddha, would be a lifetime experience.
Enjoy Dinner with the Group Tour Members in Lhasa City
As a common practice, the clients of our group tour will be offered a free welcome dinner. Other than that, all the restaurants throughout the tour are carefully selected with food safety guarantee. Of course, there are a variety of local dishes, traditional Tibetan, Nepali, Indian, Western and Chinese cuisines to satisfy your palate.
View the back of Karola Glacier from the Mountain Pass
Shortly passed the famous Yamdrok Lake, tourists were expected to enjoy the massive Karola Glacier. It’s one of the glaciers tourists could have easy access to. In fact, it was well beside the highway. Behind the back of Karola Glacier, there were large steppe, which was a great place for trekking.
Heading towards Gyantse City
For small join-in groups, there are at most 12 tourists inside a group. Tourists can enjoy the spacious tour vehicle and very often inside the lighthearted tour bus are the laughter and excitement.
Climb Unique Kumbum Stupa in Gyantse County
Multi-story Kumbum Stupa is the highlight of Gyantse tour. It is actually inside the religious compound of Palcho Monastery. What makes this entire place so unique is that it’s probably the only monastery that multiple religious sects coexist in a single monastery. Standing on the top floor of Kumbum Stupa gives you stunning panoramic view of Gyantse city and grand Gyantse fortress on the rugged hill afar.
Explore Eminent Tashilhunpo Monastery in Shigatse City
Built in 1447 by the 1st Dalai Lama, Tashilhumpo Monastery stands among the six most sacred Buddhist temples in Tibet. It has been said that Over 4.000 monks used to live in Tashilhumpo at its most glorious years. Inside the huge Buddhist complex, you will see the world’s largest statue of the “Future Buddha”, measuring 26,2m high and with 280kg of gold.
Another highlight of touring Tashilhunpo Monastery is the tremendous Thangka Buddha unfolding ceremony, during traditional religious festivals in Tibet. Tourists can reach the platform and view the peaceful Shigatse City.
