8 Days Lhasa Yamdrok Shigatse Group Tour to Everest Base Camp
 

Start your Tibet adventure with a 8-day Lhasa Yamdroksto Shigatse EBC Group Tour, which can help you realize your dream trip to the Everest Base Camp for a view of Mt. Everest (8,848m), the highest mountain in the world. Join our Tibet Group Tour and enjoy a safe, memorable, and challenging experience, ranging from an altitude of 3,650m (the City of Sunlight) to 3,850m (Gateway to Everest) and then up to 5,200m (Everest Base Camp).

Lhasa is one of the highest cities in the world. You can visit many world-famous religious sites, including the Potala Palace (World Heritage), Jokhang Temple (World Heritage), Barkhor Street (Holy Circuit), and Sera Monastery (Famous for Monk Debates). With about 8 hours’ drive (340km) on the stunning G318 National Highway toward Shigatse, you will not miss the chance to visit to one of the world's most beautiful lakes (Yamdrok Lake) and the Jewel of the Himalayas (Karola Glacier). Shigatse is the second-largest city in Tibet and the location of Tashilhunpo Monastery. You can have an unique cultural exploration at Tashilhunpo Monastery and learn more about the seat of the Panchen Lama. The highlight of this adventure journey is viewing the sunrise or sunset at Rongbuk Monastery or the EBC. Although the altidute there could be around 5,200m, the view of Mt. Everest summit and the surrounding Himalayan peaks (over 8000m) is worth it.
