Pilgrim paths, golden roofs, and the high-altitude soul of Tibet
Tibet sits on the Tibetan Plateau at more than 3,600 metres, a land of prayer flags, whitewashed houses, and monumental monasteries. It is the spiritual and cultural heart of the Himalayan plateau — and one of the most unforgettable destinations in China.
Stand before the Potala Palace, join pilgrims circling Barkhor Street, and feel the thin, clear air of the roof of the world. Tibet pairs powerfully with overland or flight connections from Chengdu and Beijing on our small-group itineraries.
