What Makes this Tibet Trip Different?

Master Kungga Dundruk

To complete the trip to Mt. Everest in just 4 days, this itinerary skips visits to Lhasa's main attractions. It is specially designed for those who have already been to Lhasa or whose main goal is simply to reach Mount Everest.

This 4-day classic Lhasa to Everest Base Camp tour is tailored for tourists eager to visit the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest, with a tight schedule.

Skipping the visit to the landmarks of Lhasa City, like Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, etc., you’ll travel along G318 National Highway directly to Everest Base Camp and make brief stops at the turquoise Yamdroktso Lake, Pelkor Monastery, Gyantse Kumbum, and Tashilhunpo Monastery.
