Reaching for the Sky: Everest Base Camp Tour in Tibet
Latest Update: June,18 2024
If you were impressed by the view of Mt. Everest in Sagarmatha National Park from Nepal’s side, then travelling to Everest Base Camp (5200m) on the north side of Himalayas in Tibet will refresh your understanding of the grandeur of Mt. Everest(8844,43m). Unlike trekking to Everest Base Camp (5364m) in Nepal, tourists can enjoy both the tour bus and trekking to EBC in Tibet where the viewpoint to enjoy the world’s summit is second-to-none. Tibet Vista’s 8 Days Lhasa to Everest Base Camp Group Tour showcases some of the most stunning alpine natural wonders and religious and cultural sites to tourists. Let’s follow the wonderful Tibet tour enjoyed by 14th group of July.
Enjoy the Magnificent Potala Palace from Chagpori
Chagpori, a sacred hill in Lhasa city, is one of the best places to enjoy Potala Palace. Each day, at round the mid-way of the hill are large crowds of photographers who are ready to capture the best moment of Potala Palace at twilight.
Climb the Grand Steps of Potala Palace
The long steps leading to the entrance of the Red Palace of Potala Palace could be a bit difficult for tourists. It’s advisable to walk slowly and steadily. And the reward would be the superb panoramic view of Lhasa city and brilliant tour of the tombs of successive Dalai Lamas in Red Palace and their living and working residence in White Palace.
Snapping Shots of Tibetan Pilgrims at the Foot of Potala Palace
Religious pilgrimage also known as kora around holy sites in Lhasa is a great sight for international tourists. It’s an integral part of Tibetans’ life and a brilliant subject for portrait or documentary photography.
Taste Exotic Tibetan Food in Lhasa
All the restaurants in which our clients dine are well-chosen with food safety guarantee. Famous Lhasa beer, dried yak meat, Tibetan momo, tsampa, yogurt, etc are fun to have a try. Much influenced by its neighboring Nepali and Indian food, Tibetan food can be gotten used to easily and fairly nutritious on the plateau.
Join the Massive Kora around Barkhor Street
As a daily routine to many Tibetans, circling around Barkhor Street while spinning their prayer wheel and chanting Buddhist mantra are an indispensable practice of Tibetan Buddhism. For tourists, it’s also an impressive occasion to understand the essence of Tibetan culture. Besides, you can find so many exquisite handicrafts or other souvenirs and popular restaurants in Barkhor Street.
Tour Heavenly Namtso Lake (4718m)
Namtso Lake is one of the top 3 sacred lakes in Tibet. The other two are Manasarovar and Yamdrok Lake. Against imposing Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, Namtso’s surrealistic beauty defies human description. The saline lake draws huge crowds of Tibetan pilgrims for kora, esp. in the year of horse, a highly recommended destination in Tibet.
Ride on White Yaks at the Lakeside of Namtso
Locals would choose their most good-looking yaks and take them to the lakeside. You can pay some money for a short ride.
Visit Tashi Dor in Namtso Lake
Tashi Dor or Tashi Island is one of the major attractions in Namtso Lake. Standing on the top of Tashi Dor, you can enjoy the best place to take panoramic picture of Namtso. The sunrise and sunset are the best time to photograph Namtso.

Pause for a Rest on the Platform of Tashilhunpo Monastery
Tashilhunpo Monastery is the major Gelupa monastery in Shigatse. It’s been said that more than 4 thousand monks used to live the gigantic Buddhist academy at its prime time. Tourists can enjoy the world’s largest statue the Buddha of the Future and the residence of the Panchen Lamas and the tremendous Thangka Buddha unfolding platform during traditional festivals, etc.
Prepare to Visit Eminent Assembly Hall in Tashilhunpo Monastery
