Tibet
Tibet, known as the "Roof of the World," is a region rich in culture, spirituality, and breathtaking landscapes. Lhasa, its capital, is home to iconic sites like the Potala Palace, once the residence of the Dalai Lama, and the Jokhang Temple, a spiritual hub for Tibetan Buddhists. Outside Lhasa, the sacred Yamdrok Lake offers stunning views amid high-altitude serenity.
For those seeking adventure, Tibet boasts some of the world's highest peaks, including Mount Everest, attracting climbers and trekkers from around the globe. The Everest Base Camp trek provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the majesty of the world's tallest mountain up close. Additionally, travelers can explore remote monasteries, such as the ancient Samye Monastery, or embark on a journey along the historic Friendship Highway, connecting Tibet with Nepal.
Tibetan cuisine offers a unique culinary experience, with staples like momos (dumplings), thukpa (noodle soup), and butter tea, reflecting the region's cultural richness. Exploring Tibet means immersing oneself in its profound spirituality, diverse landscapes, and ancient traditions, making it a destination unlike any other in the world.

Tibet is less of a destination and more of a journey that unfolds with every mile. Starting in Lhasa, you’ll explore ancient monasteries and walk the halls of the Potala Palace before heading west to the crystal-blue Yamdrok Lake and the stark, silent beauty of Everest Base Camp. In Shigatse, tradition meets everyday life with bustling markets and the revered Tashilhunpo Monastery. The route continues to Mount Kailash, a spiritual site where pilgrims trace its sacred path, and on to the remote, untouched landscapes of Ngari. It’s a circular route across the roof of the world which is rich in culture, full of breathtaking views, and layered with moments that quietly stay with you.
