Lhasa, the heart and soul of Tibet and an object of devout pilgrimage, is still a city of wonders. The Potala Palace, a vast white and ochre fortress, dominates the Lhasa skyline.
Once the seat of Tibetan government and the location of the tombs of previous Dalai Lamas, the Potala Palace serves as a symbolic focus for Tibetan aspirations. Today though, it is the Jokhang temple, 2km to the east, which is the spiritual heart of the city. The medieval push and shove of crowds, the street performers, the stalls hawking everything from prayer flags to jewel-encrusted yak skulls, and the devout tapping their foreheads to the ground at every step is an exotic brew that few newcomers can resist.
After Lhasa, we’ll tour through this amazing country. In the towns of Gyantse and Shigatse we will explore further monasteries and fully immerse ourselves in the Buddhist culture.

21 days on the world’s highest mountain biking journey
This epic mountain biking adventure across ‘the Roof of the World’ covers a distance over 1100km from the Tibetan capital Lhasa to Kathmandu in the heart of Nepal, crossing six high passes over 5000m.
To make this trip even more adventurous, we have incorporated a four-day round trip away from the main Lhasa - Kathmandu road, to visit Rongbuk Monastery and the north base camp of Mt. Everest.
We call this the Highest Trek in the World, going to extreme altitude taking you as close to the summit of Everest as any nonclimber can go. You must be fit and tough, we camp in difficult conditions. Even being fit, there is still a chance of altitude sickness affecting you meaning that you may have to return to Everest Base camp and wait until the other trekkers return.
