Reviews for Jokhang Temple Tours

8-Day Tour from Lhasa: Yamdroktso, Shigatse and Mt. Everest | Small Group Tour

A great itinerary covering Tibet's highlights. The Sera Monastery debate was fascinating, and the Potala Palace is breathtaking. The driver was skilled on those winding mountain roads. My only complaint is that some lunches weren't included, and food options on the road are limited, so bring snacks. Otherwise, a solid tour.

17-Day Immersive China Group Tour·From Ancient Capitals to Tibetan Highlands & Modern Metropolises

This tour is an absolute marathon, but it covers more of China than I thought possible in 17 days. The highlight was reaching Everest Base Camp — the sunrise there is unforgettable. The guide in Tibet was very attentive to our altitude sickness. Be prepared for early mornings and lots of flights, but everything was well-organized. A true adventure.

9-Day Tour from Lhasa: Karola Glacier, Shigatse, Mt. Everest and Namtso Lake | Small Group Tour

I was nervous about altitude sickness, but the guide provided oxygen and checked on us daily. The medical oxygen tank in the vehicle gave me peace of mind. Namtso Lake is higher than EBC (4,700m), so take it slow. The Tashilhunpo Monastery in Shigatse was a quiet, beautiful stop. A well-paced tour with a caring guide. I'd book again.

12-Day Tour from Lhasa: Nyingchi, Yamdrok Lake, Shigatse, Mt. Everest and Namtso Lake | Small Group Tour

This tour covers so much: Lhasa's cultural sites, the stunning Yamdrok Lake, Everest Base Camp, and the holy Namtso Lake. The Nyingchi leg was a pleasant surprise — Basumtso Lake is a hidden gem, and we had a local lunch at Jieba Village that felt authentic. The group was small (6 people), which made it feel personal. The only minor issue was that some hotels had no air conditioning, but it was cool enough at night.
