We offer you a short trip to historical and cultural sites around Kathmandu valley: Boudhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath Stupa and Pashupatinath temple. You can also do some souvenir shopping during the sightseeing. After sightseeing, we head back to the hotel and pack our bags and prepare for the tour.

We take an early flight to Lhasa from Kathmandu. As the flight will cross through the Himalayan ranges, this is the best opportunity to enjoy the mountainous views while flying. You will get to view the peaks like Mount Everest, Mount Kanchenjunga, Mount Makalu and many others. Upon reaching the Lhasa airport we will drive you to the hotel for overnight stay.

Today we will be spending the day exploring the most famous sites in Lhasa. We will begin our tour with the visit to Sera Monastery, one of the famous monasteries in Lhasa. Lhasa is known for a number of temples and monasteries that have unique architecture and design. We will also be visiting Norbulingka which is the summer palace of Dalai Lama. There is also the most sacred temple for Tibetan Buddhists called Jokhang temple. We will explore the temple area and continue our tour. We will conclude our day’s exploration with a visit to Barkhor market and return to the hotel for the night’s stay.

We will continue our exploration of Lhasa today as well. We will be visiting the famous Potala palace of Dalai Lama. The palace was built in the 17th Century and thus has the historical significance. It is situated at a height from where the entire city can be viewed. The palace is huge and built in the extravagant style and unique design. It also has a private quarter of Dalai Lama. We will then visit the Drepung monastery. The monastery was built in the 14th Century to shelter the monks. Around 10,000 monks used to live in the monastery but now the number is declining. It is largest Tibetan monastery which has the religious and historical significance.

Today is the last day of our tour. We will fly to Kathmandu from Lhasa. Or you may choose to depart to your country from the Lhasa airport itself. We will make arrangements accordingly.
