Roof of the World

Tibet

Tibet is a high-altitude autonomous region on the Tibetan Plateau, a land of vast skies, ancient monasteries, and Tibetan Buddhism traditions that have shaped Himalayan culture for centuries. From Lhasa to the foot of Mount Everest, it offers some of the most profound journeys on Earth.

Discover the spiritual essence and natural splendour of Tibet through its iconic landmarks: the Potala Palace rising above Lhasa, the serene waters of Namtso and Yamdrok lakes, Everest Base Camp on the north face, the sacred Jokhang Temple and Barkhor circuit, Gyantse Dzong, Samye Monastery, and the Yarlung Valley, cradle of Tibetan civilisation.

For pilgrims and adventurers alike, Mount Kailash remains the holiest peak in Asia, a journey of devotion and high-altitude endurance that draws travellers from across the world. Our Kailash programmes include overland routes from Kathmandu with permits, guides, and support vehicles arranged end to end.

Travel to Tibet requires a Chinese visa, Tibet Travel Permit, and travel through a licensed operator. Himalayan Windows arranges permits, private guides, comfortable vehicles, and overland connections from Kathmandu, so you can focus on the landscapes and living culture of the Roof of the World.

Whether you seek a cultural tour of Lhasa and Shangri-La valleys, a cycling adventure across the plateau, a trek to Everest's north base camp, or the sacred kora around Mount Kailash, Tibet invites you to experience unparalleled beauty and profound spirituality.
