Tibet has long intrigued outsiders with its blend of spiritual mystique and natural beauty. Located in China's far west, it is a sacred land of stunning monasteries, monks in crimson colored robes and soaring white mountains.

On this classic journey, we visit sacred sites, including the resplendent Samye Monastery, believed to be Tibet's first monastery, and Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, founded by the first Dalai Lama. Witness how Tibetan tradition plays a role in daily life while meeting a local medical expert and explore Tibet's natural scenery, including the turquoise waters of holy Yamdrok Tso Lake. An optional, post-trip extension to the Mt. Everest Base Camp allows for additional, stunning views.
