The Best of Nepal and Tibet

12 days from £6,190 for 2024 per person

This short tour includes seven nights visiting some of the most important temples and monasteries in Tibet. Begin with a few days in and around Kathmandu before flying to Lhasa where there will be time to see the iconic Potala Palace and Barkhor Square. Drive between Gyantse, Shigatse and Tsetang, seeing the monasteries and ancient sites of each including the Samye Monastery. Although the drives between the destinations are long, the landscape of the Tibetan Plateau is dramatic, rugged and unlike anywhere else.

This tour is ideal for those who want to see a fascinating ancient culture and everyday life for Tibetans and don't mind staying in some uninspiring hotels to do so.

This luxury holiday is purely a suggested itinerary; it can be booked as it is or used as a starting point for creating your perfect tailor-made tour of Nepal and Tibet. If you would like to see similar trips, take a look at our collection of Active and Trekking holidays.

Client Testimonials

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
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!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
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!

I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had.

An absolutely first-class service all round!
