Tibet - The Roof of the World

Lhasa, Central and Eastern Tibet, Including Kham and Amdo

Forbidden for centuries to travelers, Tibet’s ancient civilizations and culture flourished behind a veil of mystery and secrecy, capturing our imagination throughout history. But no longer is this destination for only the most daring explorers.

Despite years of social upheaval, Tibet’s grandeur, magic and mystery still remain undiminished, truly an adventurer’s paradise. Tibet’s breathtaking Himalayan range rising from the Tibetan Plateau; the ancient sacred domain of Lhasa, capitol of Tibet and former home of the Dalai Lamas and some of the greatest monasteries and temples in Tibet; Central and Eastern Tibet, where lush green hills encircle the Kichu and Brahmaputra valleys, acting as guardians to such magical places as Drak Yerpa and Lhamo Lhatso; and the far eastern reaches of fertile Kham and the grasslands of Amdo are but a few places Destination Kathmandu can escort you, either by air, road and by foot. We’ll provide you with all necessary information on equipment and permit requirements. With limited travel season (April-October) reservations are highly recommended to assure air transport availability.
