Best Sera Monastery Tours & Trips

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.

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.

Tibet is beautiful

The tour was great! We visited amazing places and could feel the sacred atmosphere in all the temples. The nature is breathtaking with beautiful mountain and lake views. Our guide Jingme told us all about the history and showed us great places. All the hotels were much better than what I expected, nice, clean and warm. I had my birthday during the tour and thanks to our guide Jingme and the group it was perfect celebration with dinner, cake and candles. Thank you for the tour!
