The Kathmandu to Lhasa overland tour is a fascinating journey across the Himalayas. You will start in the vibrant city of Kathmandu, Nepal, and visit historic sites like Pashupatinath Temple and Boudhanath Stupa.

The ultimate overland adventure begins with a drive to Syabrubesi, then crossing the border into Tibet at Kyirong. Enjoy breathtaking views as you traverse the Tibetan plateau, stopping at Rongbuk Monastery, the highest in the world, for a view of Everest. The journey continues to Shigatse, Tibet’s second-largest city, where you’ll visit Tashilhunpo Monastery, then head to Gyantse, known for its stunning Kumbum.

Finally, arrive in Lhasa, Tibet’s spiritual heart. For two days, explore the iconic Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Street, and the ancient Drepung and Sera monasteries.

The fan-shaped lake covers 638 km², spreading south and narrowing to the north. Similar to mountains, lakes are considered sacred by Tibetans. Yamdrok Lake is also well-known as one of the four holy lakes. The three lakes are Lhamo La-Tso, Namtso, and Manasarovar. Every Tibetan, from the Dalai Lama to local villagers, makes pilgrimages here.

Your scanned documents will be gathered and delivered to the partner organization in Tibet for submission to the Tibet Travel Bureau. Visas are issued after 9-10 business days.

Best time for the Tibet Lhasa Overland Tour

The best time for a Tibet Lhasa Overland Tour is during the late spring to early autumn, from April to October. This period offers the most favorable weather and makes for a more comfortable, enjoyable journey. In spring (April to June), vibrant wildflowers adorn the landscape and temperatures are mild, making it an ideal time for sightseeing and cultural exploration.

Summer (June to August) brings warmer temperatures, but be prepared for occasional showers. This season is optimal for trekking and outdoor activities, with clear skies offering stunning views of Tibet’s unique landscapes.

The weather remains pleasant in autumn (September to October), and the clear skies provide excellent visibility for scenic views. Autumn also coincides with many local festivals, immersing travelers in Tibet’s rich cultural celebrations. However, avoid the winter months because harsh weather and road closures can disrupt the overall travel experience.

 Verified My Everest Trip has helped me to achieve my EBC dream..
Trekking the EBC with My Everest Trip is one of my best hiking experiences. The initial contact with Puru, owner of the company, was smooth. He always gave me timely responses even though there are about 12 hours of time difference. Puru also made sure we were well taken care throughout the whole trip. He was at Kathmandu airport to pick us up, sent us to the hotel; He was on phone with different airlines to secure us a flight to Lukla when our flight had technical issues. After we were back in Kathmandu, he provided us with a private car to have a day tour of the city. During the trekking, our guide Shree, with his extensive experience on the trails, suggested us to hike counter-clockwise, which was the opposite of my original plan. I am so glad I took this advice and made our 12-day EBC-ChoLa Pass- Gokyo trekking a success. He also provided micro spikes and warm mittens for us. Without micro spikes we would not have crossed Cho-La Pass. I would highly recommend My Everest Trip to anyone who has the dream of hiking in the Himalayas.

 Verified EBC- Our most rewarding hiking trip
Our 12-day hiking experience to EBC couldn’t be enjoyable without the help of our guide Shree and porter Mitra. Shree’s experience on the trail gave us good advice to hike counter clockwise, Namche- EBC- Cho-la Pass- Gokyo-Namche. Even though we had a few days of bad weather, We never had any problems, but enjoyed spectacular views of the Himalaya mountains, valleys, and the ecosystem. we would highly recommend Shree and My Everest Trip for anybody that want to experience Mount Everest camp hike.

 Verified EBC Trek, absolutely incredible!!!
I can’t say enough incredible things about My Everest Trip, especially Puru (the owner) and Shree (my guide). From the very beginning, Puru was unbelievably responsive—patiently answering what must have felt like a billion questions and making me feel completely confident and prepared before even arriving in Nepal. Shree, my guide, was absolutely exceptional. I’m not the fastest trekker, but he never once made me feel rushed. He walked at my pace, constantly checked on how I was feeling, and took my health very seriously—making sure I stayed safe and avoided altitude sickness. His encouragement and positivity kept me going on the toughest days, and I truly don’t think I would have made it to Base Camp without him. What really sets this team apart is how far above and beyond they go. They helped customize my trip so I could spend a night at the iconic Everest View Hotel, which ended up being one of the highlights of the entire experience. They also handled all logistics seamlessly—securing the best tea houses and lounges along the route so I was always comfortable. Shree even helped me track down a tattoo studio in Namche, which turned out to be the highest tattoo studio in the world—such a unique and unforgettable addition to the journey! When weather delays impacted flights, they acted quickly and got me onto the second helicopter out—something that made all the difference in catching my return flight while others were stuck on the mountain. As a solo traveler, I always felt safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. Puru and Shree made sure I was comfortable every step of the way, turning what could have been a daunting experience into something unforgettable. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and as someone who isn’t exactly in peak physical shape, I’m incredibly proud to have made it to Everest Base Camp—with huge thanks to their guidance, care, and encouragement. If you’re considering trekking in Nepal, I wholeheartedly recommend My Everest Trip. You won’t find a more dedicated, thoughtful, and professional team.

 Verified Amazing Trip to EBC !
Our trip to EBC was amazing and an adventurous trip ! We were 4 hrs away from EBC and had to turn around due to a blizzard ( Snow storm ) and they had closed EBC due to amount of snow and risk. Since we had Shree with us, who was an absolute gentlemen, caring, and experienced, he guided us to a safe place. We walked down for 10 hrs in 3 feet of snow so that we can get rescued. I have to say that, without shree it wouldn't have been a great experience. I would highly recommend to hire Shree as your guide.

 Verified Unforgettable Adventure
My friend and I had the best time trekking to Everest Base Camp with our amazing local guide, Shree! We're from Alaska and fairly used to hiking, but found the expertise and assistance from My Everest Trip to be invaluable (we got a sleeping bag, trekking poles, a porter, and all of the details taken care of!) The real treat though was getting a glimpse of the Himalayan life from a local tour guide. From getting patient answers to many questions, introduced to local delicacies, to evening musical jam sessions in teahouses, this trip was an unforgettable adventure.

 Verified I recently completed a 14-day trek in the Himalayas , around Ama Dablam and Gokyo lake, and I really enjoyed it. Our guide Shree was professional, calm, positive and knew the route very well. He checked our health on the altitude, kept us organized, and made sure everything went smoothly. We had to change the route due to the weather and Shree was very flexible, suggested options to us which I appreciated very much . If you’re planning a trek, I definitely recommend him.

 Verified Thankyou Shree!🙏
Just wrapped up a 14-day trek in the Himalayas and it was absolutely unreal – thanks to our amazing guide Shree. He knew the mountains like the back of his hand, kept us safe, and made the whole trip feel easy (even when it wasn’t!). Super organised, always had a smile, and genuinely cared about the group and locals. He went above and beyond every day – from helping us with altitude to sharing laughs over a cuppa at night. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re thinking of doing a trek in the Himalayas – do it, and make sure you go with this legend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you had to pick one company to plan your EBC trek or really anything I would 100% pick this company, simply because of the owner. There was moments during my trip where I had concerns and the owner was always SO QUICK to reply and handle the problem in such a professional and simple manner. Knows how to communicate and reassure his clients like a natural born leader(he was also a guide for EBC before so he is extremely educated on trekking).

Thank you again for this amazing experience🙏🙏.

Tibet Lhasa Overland Tour Additional Information

Major Attractions of the Tibet Lhasa Overland Tour

Border formalities: You must get a Tibet Travel Permit and a Tibet Group visa to enter Tibet from Nepal. Arriving early and ensuring you have all the required documentation ready for the border formalities is an excellent idea to avoid unnecessary delays. You should not photograph the Chinese customs and soldiers while at the border.

Rasuwagadi-Kerong Border: It is the Nepal and Tibet’s boarder crossing location. It is approximately 23 kilometers from Kerong town and serves as Nepal’s only land border with Tibet, China.

Tingri: It is a small settlement on the way from Kathmandu to Lhasa. It is a famous stopover for travelers because it provides breathtaking views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Xisapangma, Mt. Makalu, and other majestic Himalayan peaks during the journey.

Gyanchula Pass (5220m): This breathtaking mountain pass is located at an impressive altitude of approximately 5,220 meters above sea level. It is situated on the route between Tingri and Shigatse and offers stunning views of the majestic Himalayas.

Tashi Lhunpo Monastery: This historic monastery, located in Shigatse, is significant as the home of the Panchen Lama and is considered one of the largest and most important in Tibet. It has long been recognized as the traditional seat of the Panchen Lama.

Khumbum Stupa and Palkhor Monastery: These monasteries are well-known Buddhist sites in Gyantse. Their architecture and decoration are genuinely one-of-a-kind.

Karola Glacier: This glacier is situated along the trail between Gyantse and Lhasa, offering travelers an amazing sight. This place is a must-visit for any traveler exploring Tibet. The views of the surrounding landscape are breathtaking and will leave you in awe.

Kamba La Pass: Located high in the mountains, Kamba La Pass offers a breathtaking view that is a must-see for anyone traveling to Lhasa. Stop at this scenic viewpoint as you make your way across Yamdrok Lake. The surrounding Himalayas provide stunning views.

Potala Palace: This magnificent palace is on Marpo Ri (Red Hill) in the heart of Lhasa. This historical building served as the winter palace for the Dalai Lama for nearly three centuries until 1949. Today, it has been turned into a museum and administrative building complex. This site is widely recognized as a top destination for spiritual seekers, earning it a prestigious UNESCO World Heritage Site designation in 1994.

Sera Monastery: It is a fascinating historic site in Lhasa. It is renowned for its stunning architecture and its famous debating session.

Barkhor Market surrounding Jokhang Temple: The Barkhor Market is a vibrant hub surrounding the iconic Jokhang Temple. Its one-of-a-kind architecture and bustling shopping area attract tourists.

Accommodations in Tibet Lhasa Overland Trip

While Lhasa has few options, Tibet is not mainly known for the number of luxurious 5-star resorts. The accommodations in China’s central and coastal regions are generally better than those here. If you’re looking for a hotel in Lhasa that suits your interests and budget, there are plenty of options. You can find anything from simple yet tidy youth hostels to luxurious 3-star hotels with unique Tibetan designs.

We carefully select secure and cozy hotels in Shigatse and Lhasa. You can visit Barkhor Street and the Jokhang Temple from your Lhasa accommodation to learn about the local culture and lifestyle. Lodging is usually less expensive in remote areas like Tingri, Gyantse, Gyirong, etc.

Altitude Sickness During Tibet Lhasa Overland Tour

When you travel at high altitudes over 3,000 meters above sea level, you may experience altitude sickness, also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). If you skip the flight to Lhasa (3,656 meters) and travel on a road trip from an altitude of 1,400 meters at Kathmandu, you’ll have a lower chance of experiencing altitude sickness.

Since you’ll be traversing high mountain passes, you might encounter mild symptoms of AMS. Some symptoms of this condition are headache, nausea, difficulty breathing, increased heartbeat, and trouble sleeping. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to contact your guide or tour operator immediately. Drinking plenty of water can help reduce symptoms of altitude sickness.

Lhasa Overland Route

The Lhasa tour package or Tibet tour package from Kathmandu is the classic 8-day Lhasa Overland Tour, a drive-in and fly-out tour from Kathmandu via Rasuwa-Kerung Highway to Lhasa. Lhasa to Kathmandu by road can also arrange Tibet Lhasa Overland Tour from Kathmandu to Lhasa flight in the opposite direction at your request.

We, Tibet, offer packages for both group and private tours. A customized itinerary with a travel and accommodation plan is available upon request.
