Overland Tibet & Nepal... From Lhasa to Kathmandu

15 days from £6,070 for 2023 per person

A more adventurous itinerary which begins in the busy city of Kathmandu and the surrounding area before flying to Lhasa. After a few days exploring the many sites of the city and surrounding area, begin driving back to Nepal. The journey takes a few days and includes a day visit to Everest Base Camp before crossing the border into Nepal. You will have a final day to relax before returning to the UK. The accommodation is basic and some of the journeys long but the unique landscape and culture is, we feel, worth it.

This tour is purely a suggested itinerary; it can be booked as it is or alternatively used as a starting point for creating your own ideal bespoke trip to Tibet and Nepal.

I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India

Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!

Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.

So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
