The three tours most people choose between. Every tour has its own page with the route, the kora and the fine print.
Fly to Lhasa
11 daysFree cancellationA pilgrim yatra that starts in Kathmandu, flies over the Himalaya to Lhasa and drives west to the lake. Four days shorter than the Lhasa loop.
The classic loop
15 daysFree cancellationA classic two-week trek tour from Lhasa across western Tibet to Lake Manasarovar and Mount Kailash. The slow route, with time for the altitude.
Small group
11 daysFree cancellationA small-group trip from Kathmandu across the plateau to the lake and the three-day kora over the Dolma La, the hardest day of any yatra.
