Adventure Holidays in Tibet

The highest plateau in the world, with an average elevation of 4,000m above sea level, Tibet is often referred to as the Roof of the World. The landscape ranges from semi-tropical, forested lowlands along the southern borders to desert and, of course, some of the highest mountains in the world, offering stunning scenery. Tibet has featured in several films, most notably Seven Years in Tibet, based on the book by Heinrich Harrer about his experiences in Tibet between 1944 and 1951, and Kundun, a biography of the Dalai Lama. Come and explore this fascinating region with us.

Take the Railroad to Lhasa; making your way across China from Beijing you'll climb from the semi-desert of Qinghai across the high passes and plateaux, to the fluttering prayer flags and white-washed monasteries of the Tibetan capital. Discover more about Tibetan culture as you visit villages and monasteries, and spend three days in Lhasa on this railway holiday in Tibet.

See the Other Side of Everest on a walking holiday in Tibet. Fly across the Himalaya from Kathmandu to Tibet, spending a couple of days in Lhasa before heading north through the mountains. After acclimatising, you'll trek to Everest base camp, passing villages and monasteries as you make your way through spectacular scenery.

Take a cultural holiday through Nepal and Tibet in the Abode of the God-Kings. Find out about the complexity of Tibetan Buddhism, including its rather esoteric Tantric aspects. Art, philosophy and history will also play a role during our travels as you visit monasteries and the Potala Palace, which was the former seat of the Dalai Lamas.

For a holiday with a bit of a difference, why not try out our Tibet Railroad & Eclipse tour? Visit some of Beijing's highlights before heading off to Lhasa where you'll explore some of the more historic sites then head east by train to part of the old Silk Road. See the Overhanging Wall, explore ancient tombs and caves, and stand where Marco Polo once did before watching the eclipse.
