Tibet Overland Tours from Nepal or China

Tibet overland tours starts in Lhasa and end in Kathmandu by driving  along the friendship highway.
No land has captured man’s imagination for its remoteness & almost mystical aura as TIBET, the Forbidden Kingdom on the roof of the world. Captivated by Tibet’s mystic charm & ruggedness great explorers & adventurers of the century have ventured into this holy land rendered inaccessible by the hostile natural conditions & bandits that waylaid them across through the Himalayas.
Despite untold ravages brought about during the Cultural Revolution, Tibet’s past grandeur, majesty, magic & mystery still remains undiminished. One can still see today nomads herding their yaks, pilgrims worshiping at sacred shrines & the expansive, striking & enduring Himalayan topography. Tibet is truly an “Adventurers’ Paradise”.
Driving over the Himalayas by way of the incredible Arniko Highway that connects Kathmandu with Tibet. Enjoy fabulous Tibetan mountain scenery on the way to Lhasa, you will have a tour to mystical Buddhist monasteries of Tashilungpo at Shigatse, the Kumbum Stupa at Gyantse, and drive past the beautiful Turquoise Lake.
