Cultural and Historical Tours in Tibet
Enjoying enchanting locations and immersing yourself in the rich Buddhist culture, Tibet tours offer colorful and dynamic cultural wonders, historical and prominent landmarks, fluttering prayer flags and impressive religious heritage sites. Offering a complete insight into Tibetan culture, nomadic people and their lifestyle, this Forbidden City holds various secrets that can be revealed through cultural tours in Tibet. The isolated strip of highland plateau is filled with unique age-old traditions, ancient monasteries, cultural towns, heavenly lakes and the dramatic north face of the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest. Almost all Tibet tour packages offer the opportunity to experience authentic history and explore the diversity of medieval cities and natural forests. Everest Base Camp Tour from Tibet is a glorious adventure for those who prefer to avoid trekking and take long exploratory road trips. A flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa will take you to the roof of the world, where you will explore vibrant cities like Lhasa, Shigatse, Gyantse and visit legendary palaces like Potala and Norbulingkha.
Visit and enjoy Tibet’s oldest monastery, Samye and largest monastery, Sera, the world’s tallest monastery, Rongbuk and the important Drepung Monastery and Jokhang Temple. Drive through high gorges to the turquoise Yamdrok-Tso and Nam-Tso lakes, and dive deep into the sacred ashram of the Chimphu Caves as you experience eternal peace and spiritual feeling.
Climate: Lhasa, the “City of Sun,” is nestled high in the Gyi Qu Valley and is blessed with seasonally mild and humid weather from monsoons in India 160 km(100 mi.) to the south. Tibetan winters, as might be supposed, are fiercely cold. But for half the year, strong sunlight warms the thin air, making most days in Lhasa comfortably mild and, owing to protective mountains, relatively windless. Summer temperatures hover above 30’C (high-80s F) and only to drop to a searing -23’C (-10’F) in midwinter. The best time to visit is from late spring to early fall.
