Overview

Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Cable car up to Karola Glacier, the blue-ice wall melting faster each decade, 20 meters from the roadside at 5,000 meters altitude.
- Drone selfie at Yamdrok Yumtso, the sacred turquoise lake framed by snowcaps, the group scattered across the shoreline for the aerial shot.
- Potala Palace at sunrise before the crowds, then Tibetan hotpot with a palace view, yak butter tea optional but the tour leader insists you try once.
- Two nights in Lhasa's Hilton with oxygen-enriched rooms, the kind where you sleep through the night instead of waking gasping at 3,600 meters.
- Try thangka painting in Barkhor Street's workshops, ink and gold leaf on canvas, the monks next door chanting through the walls.
