FrontierLhasa & Shigatse
Six days in Tibet with the Potala Palace, pilgrim Lhasa and the road to Shigatse — permits and acclimatisation handled.
Tibetan Plateau
Tibet & the Roof of the World
The Potala Palace, pilgrim circuits and high-altitude landscapes — arranged with the permits and care this journey requires.
The feeling
At the top of the world.
Tibet is a privilege to visit and a place that asks for preparation. Altitude, permits and a slower pace all shape the itinerary. We work with experienced Tibetan guides and build in acclimatisation days in Lhasa before going higher.
The reward is extraordinary: the Potala Palace at first light, pilgrims circling the Jokhang, monasteries in the mountains and the vast, empty plateau. We handle the permit process, transport and oxygen support so you can focus on the place itself.
