Private 10-Day Tibet Tour from Lhasa Including 4-Day Trek from Ganden to Samye

This trip is designed for adventurous travelers who are willing to rough it while trekking through remote mountain passes and alpine valleys with the support of a local guide. During the four days of trekking, yaks carry your gear and your guide takes care of meals, leaving you free to concentrate on crossing the rugged wilderness on foot. While you camp near traditional nomadic settlements and meet local people, you'll gain insight into Tibetan nomadic life. Camping equipment is provided.

Before your trek, spend three days in Lhasa to acclimatize to Tibet's high altitude. You'll tour the city's iconic monuments with your private guide, who provides detailed commentary about Tibet's culture, Buddhist treasures and natural wonders.

You'll stay at 3- and 4-star hotels in Lhasa and Tsetang, and camp in tents during your trek. Breakfast is included every morning; other meals are on your own except during the trek, when simple meals are provided. Your guide can recommend where to eat lunch and dinner when it's not provided.
