An unforgettable journey across the Roof of the World

Embark on a soul-stirring adventure through the mystical landscapes of Tibet, on this Tibet Everest Base Camp tour. Beginning in the legendary city of Lhasa, known as the Roof of the World. Perched at an average altitude of over 3,500 meters, Tibet is the highest plateau on Earth, an untamed frontier of dramatic contrasts and spiritual depth.

Nestled north of the towering Himalayan range, Tibet shares its borders with India, Nepal, and Bhutan. This remote land is home to nomadic drokpas, ancient monasteries, majestic yaks, sweeping sand dunes, and high-altitude deserts. It offers a rare glimpse into a world where nature reigns supreme and tradition runs deep.
