TRIP FACTS
"Embark on the enchanting journey of Tibet overland, where the majestic Himalayan landscapes whisper tales of beauty, and the rich cultural tapestry unfolds with every step.

The trip across Tibet is a really cool adventure that lets you enjoy some of the best views of the Himalayas and check out cool cultural spots in the high Himalayan areas.

Some famous places to visit in Lhasa are Potala palace, Lake Yamdrok, Drepung monastery, Sera Monastery, Jokhang Tempale, Barkhor market, and Norbulingka Palace.
