Tibet Tours & Trips
Have you felt altitude affect you immediately? Lhasa sits at 3,650 meters, and everyone notices. Tibet operates at elevation that changes things, with the Potala Palace dominating the city with over a thousand rooms. Jokhang Temple sees a steady stream of pilgrims, while Sera Monastery is known for its lively monk debates. Lake Namtso, with its stunningly blue waters mirroring the nearby mountains, contributes to the region's reputation as the "roof of the world."

The trip was amazing but at times, there was a breakdown in communication between the guides and the travellers e.g. when we were let loose to find our own lunch or dinner, there could have been clearer information provided to avoid travellers not eating due to confusion about venues etc.Many of our co-travellers went hungry as they hadn't been given clear instructions about accessing restaurants.

Our family of three had a great trip to Tibet. We’re all very happy with it! First, the accommodation was exactly as described—no exaggerations. Our guide, Dorj, picked us up from the airport right on time. From that moment, we were well taken care of. Dorj was full of energy and knew so much about Tibet. He answered all our questions. The driver was also very kind—he even helped us with our luggage. Overall, it was a really nice trip!

To travel with Peregrine Treks was a great experience. They took very good care of us, before, during and even after the trip. The guides were all verry experienced, educated, giving us a deep cultural insight in a proper english. The drivers were excellent with amazing driving skills needed in the sometimes rough areas of Nepal and Tibet. The Manager was always reachable and very helpful, he even organized things when the official trip was over. Travelling trough Nepal and Tibet was an unforgettable experience touching our hearts.

Best time to visit Tibet
- Spring 2026
Spring creates perfect conditions for Tibet's longer journeys. The Beijing to Kathmandu overland trip really shines this time of year, with the train ride across the plateau offering amazing views. Our 14-day tours give you just the right amount of time to get used to the altitude while getting to know Lhasa's old town properly. Many tours mix visits to Tashilhunpo Monastery with walks around Yamdrok Lake, where you might catch nomads moving their yaks. The 9-day Everest Base Camp routes work particularly well in spring - you get clear morning views of the mountain and nice temperatures for visiting Rongbuk, the highest monastery in the world.
- popular 70 tours
- Summer 2026
Summer opens up Tibet's harder-to-reach areas, and our longer 14-day Nepal-Tibet combined tours run from June through August. These trips balance cultural visits with time outdoors, and our guides know exactly when local festivals are happening - they'll often adjust the schedule so you can join in monastery celebrations. The Lhasa tours include early morning visits to Drepung Monastery and afternoon sessions watching the monk debates at Sera. Many travelers love how we mix Potala Palace visits with trips to nearby valleys, where local farming families often invite groups into their homes.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall's perfect for overland journeys across Tibet, with tours running 8 to 14 days and crossing multiple high mountain passes. The autumn skies make for exceptional mountain photos, especially around Everest Base Camp - our customers mention this constantly. Several routes combine Shigatse market visits with nights in traditional guesthouses, giving you a real feel for life on the plateau. Tours to Namtso Lake get great feedback in autumn - there's a good chance you'll see pilgrims making their yearly walks around this sacred water. The Lhasa to Kathmandu journeys work really well with fall's stable weather and comfortable temperatures for monastery visits along the route.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter in Tibet brings a special kind of quiet, with fewer visitors around the main sites. Our 8-day Lhasa tours let you explore Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple at your own pace, without the usual summer lines. The Kathmandu routes keep running through winter and we provide oxygen supplies to help with the altitude. It's quite something to watch the monk debates at Sera Monastery with snow falling in the courtyards - our travelers often mention this as a highlight. The Everest Base Camp trips run all year and while it gets cold in winter, our guides make sure everyone comes prepared with detailed packing lists.
