Tibet, the Holy Land of Buddhism

Tibet is known as the holy land of Buddhism, where spiritual culture, mountain landscapes, and unique highland life create one of the most special travel experiences in China. For most travel programs, 3 nights in Lhasa is the standard stay to visit the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and Barkhor Street. A 5 to 7 nights stay allows clients to explore further to Yamdrok Lake, Shigatse, and even Everest Base Camp, offering a deeper journey across Tibet with gradual altitude adjustment and a more complete itinerary for global travel partners.
