Trip Overview

This trek gives you a real taste of Tibetan highland adventure and insight into Tibetan culture. Interspersed with excursions to ancient monasteries, this trek offers a complete different experience. As you trek along the rugged Tibetan terrain, you will see sights so different and new: from the arid Tibetan topography that resembles a lunar landscape to the ancient villages with their colorful prayer flags and magnificent monasteries. As you walk along the 80km trekking trail that skirts barley fields and nomadic pastureland, you will get an opportunity to observe Tibetan lifestyle at close quarters and experience the real Tibet.  Before your trek commences, you will be taken on a sightseeing tour to Lhasa.
