The Roof of the World
Tibet Tours
Lhasa's golden roofs, turquoise high-altitude lakes and the north face of Everest — the plateau, done properly.
The journey, in essence.
Tibet is travel at its most otherworldly: a high desert plateau above 3,600 m where monasteries the size of towns cling to hillsides and the light feels borrowed from another planet.
We handle the permits, fly you into Lhasa with acclimatisation built in, and pair you with Tibetan guides for the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple and the great monasteries — before the overland drive past Yamdrok Lake to Everest's astonishing north side.
Lhasa's icons
The Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple and the pilgrim circuit of the Barkhor.
Permits handled
Tibet requires special permits and a licensed guide — we arrange everything end to end.
Everest, north face
Drive to Rongbuk monastery for the cleanest, most dramatic view of Everest there is.
The Friendship Highway
Cross the plateau from Lhasa to the Nepal border past lakes, glaciers and 5,000 m passes.
Signature Experiences
Moments we design for.
The Potala at first light
A thousand rooms of Tibetan history rising thirteen storeys above Lhasa — entered with a guide who can read its murals.
Barkhor kora with pilgrims
Join the clockwise tide of prostrating pilgrims circling the Jokhang, juniper smoke in the air.
Yamdrok-Tso
A scorpion-shaped lake of impossible turquoise beneath 7,000 m peaks — the plateau's signature view.
Rongbuk & Everest north face
Sunset from the world's highest monastery, the entire Kangshung light-show to yourself.
How It Unfolds
A journey in movements.
Lhasa, gently
Fly in, acclimatise over courtyard tea, and take the Potala, Jokhang and Sera monastery at an unhurried pace.
Lakes & passes
Over the Kamba La to Yamdrok Lake and on to Gyantse's great Kumbum stupa and Shigatse.
Everest north side
Cross the plateau to Rongbuk for sunset and dawn on the north face.
Border or back
Descend the gorge to the Nepal border — or loop back to Lhasa for the flight out.
Ready when you are.
Tibet permits take 15–20 days to arrange — talk to us early and we'll handle the rest.
