Tibet is located along the border of Nepal & China, just behind the Himalayan ranges. Tibet is known as the roof of the world, as it has the northern base camp of Everest, the Holy Mountain called Mt Kailas. The country is very unique due to its beautiful landscapes, Tibetan culture is very unique around the world, the Buddhism they practice is a very special way, and mindfulness. The Potala Palace, where the Dalai Lama used to stay, the holy lake Manosarovar, and another holy lake called Yamdrok, Jokhang Monastery make the land so special and unlike in the other place in the world. One needs to obtain special permits for visiting Tibet; the group permits can only be obtained from a tour agency in Nepal or in China/Tibet.
The Overland tour that starts from Nepal is one of the most unique and beautiful due to its diverse
landscape, passing through the Nepal Himalayas to the Tibetan plateau. The Capital city, Lhasa, has a number of important Buddhist Monasteries and Tibetan markets. The 8-day overland trip starting from Kathmandu covers the most beautiful monuments in Tibet. The Overland trip returns to Kathmandu, but one can also fly from Lhasa to Kathmandu after the tour if you have 4 members in the group who have the same travel itinerary. Splitting an individual tourist from the group is not possible when the split is fewer than 4 persons.
The Mt. Kailash tour is another unique pilgrimage trip in Tibet; the Mt Kailash overland can also be done
from Nepal, which is about 11 days. The Kailash is a holy mountain for both Hindus and Buddhists, highly
respected and protected. The Combination of the Lhasa tour and the Kailash tour is the best to see everything in Tibet, but most tourists do not do this due to its time frame and money, as Tibet isn’t that cheap. Also, due to its high altitude climate, Tibet stays cold in most of the months. So, one needs to prepare with a good Budget, a good amount of time, and be ready to handle the high altitude of 5000+ meters to be able to do long tours in Tibet, like the combination of the Lhasa & Kailash tour for 2+ weeks.
