I loved the cultural experiences in Lhasa. Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and the monasteries provided an excellent introduction before the adventure portion began.
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.
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.
Absolutely stunning views at Basum Tso, Karola Glacier, and Yamdrok Lake. The itinerary was well-paced—not rushed, and we got to enjoy both natural wonders and cultural highlights. Definitely a trip I’ll never forget!
