Itinerary Day by Day

Expand All
Day 1 (April 01, 2026) Arrival in Nyingchi, Drive to Lulang | Lamaling Monastery, Gala Peach Blossom Village, Segrila Pass, Lulang Forest Sea Viewpoint
Altitude: 2800-4768 meters meters | Distance: 150km, about 2.5 hours’ drive

Tashi Delek! Welcome to Nyingchi, the Switzerland of Tibet! Upon arrival, our guide and driver will greet you at Nyingchi Mainling Airport.

Complimentary Airport Transfer: Free pick-up is provided for flights arriving between 08:00 AM and 10:00 AM. As travelers may arrive on different flights, we kindly ask for your patience while waiting for all group members to assemble.

First Stop: Lamaling Monastery

When the spring breeze brushes across the Niyang River, Lamaling Monastery - the only Nyingma monastery in eastern Tibet - is gently embraced by a sea of pink blossoms. These are no ordinary peach flowers: they bloom where nature and spirituality meet. Snow still lingers on the distant peaks, while the river valley below warms with early spring. Peach trees stretch along the riverbank and up the stone steps, their soft pink and white petals surrounding the monastery’s red and yellow walls. Sometimes the golden roof peeks out from behind the blossoms, glowing as sunlight filters through. Even the air seems filled with the sweet scent of flowers and the serenity of fluttering prayer flags.

Second Stop: Gala Peach Blossom Village

Located by the Niyang River at the foot of the surrounding mountains, Gala Village is known as the “First Peach Blossom Village.” With more than 1,200 wild peach trees covering 270 acres, the area transforms into a pink paradise each spring. Blossoms spread across the hillsides, creating a breathtaking landscape of color and warmth.

Third Stop: Segrila Pass

Situated east of Nyingchi County at an altitude of 4,728 meters, Segrila Pass is part of the Nyenchen Tanglha Range. From the top, you can enjoy sweeping views of cloud seas, endless forests, and - on clear days - the majestic Mount Namcha Barwa (7,782 m), once voted China’s most beautiful mountain.

Fourth Stop: Lulang Forest Observation Deck

Often described as a place “so beautiful it makes you forget home,” Lulang Forest features misty mountains, dense evergreen woods, snow-covered peaks, and meadow-like clearings that look as if they were carefully trimmed by hand.

Complimentary Local Specialty Meal - Lulang Stone Pot Chicken

A signature dish of the Nyingchi region, Stone Pot Chicken is prepared by slow-stewing local chicken with shouzhangshen (a type of wild ginseng) in a handcrafted stone pot. The resulting broth is aromatic and soothing, while the chicken is tender and rich in flavor. The pot itself is carved from rare soapstone found only in Motuo, carried out by porters and hand-chiseled by the Monpa people. These dark-green stone pots retain heat exceptionally well and naturally contain magnesium, iron, and 17 trace minerals.

Friendly Notes:

  • We recommend flying via Chengdu and booking a flight that arrives in Nyingchi before 10:00 AM.
  • Foreign nationals and travelers from Taiwan must complete registration in Nyingchi City before continuing with the tour.

Day 2 (April 02, 2026) Lulang - Bome - Ranwu | Guxiang Lake, Bomi Peach Blossom Valley, Ranwu Lake
Altitude: 2750 - 3800 meters | Distance: 300 km, about 6-hour drive

After breakfast, we will drive to Guxiang Lake, located 33 kilometers from Bomi County. This freshwater barrier lake stretches 5 kilometers in length, 2 kilometers in width, and reaches depths of over 20 meters. Surrounded by untouched primeval forests and towering ancient trees, the area offers a beautifully tranquil landscape. The crystal-clear water reveals the scenery beneath the surface, and a gentle walk along the lakeshore allows you to fully immerse yourself in the peace and serenity of nature.

We then continue to the Bomi Peach Blossom Valley, which extends for more than 30 kilometers. Every spring, this valley transforms into a dazzling sea of pink, earning its reputation as the “Largest Peach Blossom Valley in China.” With glacier-covered mountains rising in the background, the soft pink blossoms contrast vividly with the traditional Tibetan houses scattered throughout the valley. Strolling through the blooming orchards - petals drifting underfoot and the air rich with floral fragrance - feels like stepping into a dreamlike world.

After visiting Bomi, we make our way to Ranwu Lake, situated at an altitude of 3,850 meters. Known for its strikingly clear blue waters and surrounding snow-capped peaks, Ranwu Lake is fed by melting snow from the nearby mountains and also serves as the source of the Pailong Zangbu River. Around the lake, lush meadows, fertile farmlands, forests, and shrubs blend together to form a breathtaking and harmonious natural panorama.

Day 3 (April 03, 2026) Ranwu - Bome | Laigu Glacier (Blue Ice Caves)
Altitude: 2750-3500 meters | Distance: 200km, about 5 hours’ drive

After breakfast, we will drive to Laigu Glacier, located about 20 kilometers from Ranwu Town, to explore its extraordinary blue ice caves.

Situated in the Himalayas - one of the highest mountain ranges in the world - Laigu Glacier is among Tibet’s oldest glaciers, formed roughly 100,000 years ago. Over tens of thousands of years, it has expanded and retreated many times, leaving behind impressive glacial landscapes and remarkable natural formations.

Laigu Glacier actually refers to a cluster of glaciers, including Meixi, Yalong, Ruoqiao, Dongga, Xionga, and Niuma. Depending on the season, different sections are accessible to visitors. From April to October, Dongga Glacier is the most commonly open route, and its Blue Ice Cave is the star attraction. Inside the glacier, enormous ice caverns reveal layers of blue ice that shine as clear as crystal. Standing within the cave feels like stepping into a glowing ice palace, surrounded by shimmering shades of pure blue. (Important Note: Please follow the official arrangements on site. If the scenic area is closed or access is restricted, visitors will not be permitted to go onto the glacier.)

Visitors will take the scenic area’s shuttle bus to the Summer Pasture (round trip approximately 40 km). From there, you may either hike (free; round trip about 4 km; altitude 4,100–4,400 meters) or ride a horse (additional cost, around 300 RMB per person, payable onsite; final price subject to local signage).

The total exploration time is about 3.5 to 4 hours, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the blue ice caves, glacier views, ice lakes, alpine meadows, azure highland lakes, and towering snow-capped mountains.

Afterward, we will drive to Bomi for overnight accommodation.

Day 4 (April 04, 2026) Bome - Lulang - Nyingchi | Tashi Gang Village
Altitude: 2750- 3270 meters | Distance: 230km, about 5 hours’ driving

After breakfast, we will depart from Bome and drive to Tashi Gang Village, located near Lulang Town. This charming village rests at the foot of a high-altitude alpine meadow, surrounded by rolling green mountains that form a vast “sea of forest,” rising layer by layer. The landscape is covered with shrubs, dense spruce and pine forests, and other native trees. Between the mountains lies a beautifully maintained meadow where streams flow gently and seasonal flowers bloom. Traditional wooden fences and houses dot the scenery, with distant snow-capped peaks and nearby forests adding to the tranquility and beauty of this idyllic mountain landscape.

In spring and summer, the meadows and forests burst into color as a variety of flowers bloom. During autumn and winter, Tashi Gang Village often greets visitors with thick morning mist, which drifts through the mountains, creating a dreamy view where towering snow peaks appear and disappear through the clouds.

After visiting Tashi Gang Village, we will continue our drive to Nyingchi for overnight accommodation. Along the way, we will pass through Segrila Pass once again.

Stay overnight in Nyingchi.

Day 5 (April 05, 2026) Nyingchi - Lhasa | Basumtso Lake (Tashi Island, Tsozong Monastery, Jieba Village)
Altitude: 2900- 3600 meters | Distance: 490km, about 7 hours’ driving

After breakfast, we will depart Nyingchi and drive about 2 hours to Basumtso Lake (altitude 3,538 meters), also known as Basong Tso or Dragsum Tso. Located in Gongbo'gyamda County, Basumtso is one of the most beautiful lakes in eastern Tibet and is recognized as both a National Forest Park and a 5A Scenic Area. Its emerald-green waters reflect the surrounding snow-capped peaks, creating a picture-perfect landscape that changes with the light throughout the day.

Basumtso also holds deep spiritual significance for Tibetan Buddhists, particularly followers of the Nyingma school. It is believed to be blessed by Guru Rinpoche and King Gesar, two revered figures in Tibetan culture. The road leading to the lake winds through peaceful valleys and mountains, offering breathtaking scenery along the way.

Upon arrival, enjoy the serene atmosphere and stunning views. A highlight of the visit is Tashi Island, a small island on the lake that houses Tsozong Monastery, a modest but historically important Nyingma monastery dating back to the 17th century. You may take a leisurely walk around the island to enjoy panoramic views of the lake and mountains. Along the way, you’ll see the “Peach-Embracing Pine,” the ancient water-burial platform, and the unique “Letter Tree,” whose leaves display naturally formed Tibetan letters. Don’t miss the sacred well, still honored by local pilgrims.

Afterward, you may also visit Jieba Village, an idyllic Tibetan village offering excellent viewpoints of Basumtso Lake and the surrounding peaks known as the “King’s Throne” and the “Burning Flame.” It is a wonderful place to appreciate traditional Tibetan culture and daily life.

Following the visit, we will begin the drive back to Lhasa, which takes about 4-5 hours.

Day 6 (April 06, 2026) Lhasa - Yamdrok Lake - Karola Glacier - Shigatse (370km, 7 hours)
Altitude: 3850m | Distance: 380km, about 7 hours’ drive

Today, you’ll embark on a scenic drive from Lhasa to Shigatse, Tibet’s second-largest city. The journey covers around 370 kilometers and takes 7 hours’ drive, with stops to admire two of Tibet’s most spectacular natural wonders - Yamdrok Lake and Karola Glacier.

In the morning, after about 2-3 hours of driving (110 km), get your camera ready as you approach Kampala Pass (4,797 m). Here, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of Yamdrok Lake, a turquoise ribbon shimmering among snow-capped mountains. Known as one of Tibet’s four sacred lakes (along with Lhamo Latso, Manasarovar, and Namtso), Yamdrok is believed to hold spiritual power - helping Tibetans locate the reincarnated soul of the Dalai Lama. You’ll also see locals offering photo opportunities with Tibetan mastiffs, yaks, or goats dressed in traditional ornaments.

In the afternoon, continue driving for about 1.5 hours (87 km) to reach the stunning Karola Glacier (5,012 m) - one of Tibet’s three major continental glaciers and a filming site of the movie Red Valley (Hong He Gu). Backed by Naiqin Kangsang Peak (7,191 m), the glacier gleams like a frozen waterfall cascading right beside the highway. You can enjoy the view from your vehicle or take a short, easy walk to the glacier’s base. Across the road, admire the majestic snow-capped Mount Kalurong - another highlight of this alpine wonderland.

Tips for visiting Karola Glacier:

  • The alitude here is about 5,012 meters, so move slowly and avoid overexertion.
  • The public toilets are very basic -be prepared.
  • Some locals may charge a small fee for taking photos with them or their animals -always confirm before photographing.

Afterward, drive about 3.5 hours (170 km) through Gyantse, aalong the wide Nianchu River Valley, passing through scenic Tibetan villages, vast barley fields, and golden rapeseed flower fields (in summer). Upon arrival in Shigatse (altitude: 3845 meters), check into your hotel and rest well.

Warm Reminder:

For foreign and Taiwan travelers, registration at the Shigatse Entry & Exit Administration Office is required. Your guide will assist with the process and may adjust the schedule accordingly - please follow their instructions and cooperate as needed.

At its height, the monastery housed over 5,000 monks and included more than 3,000 rooms, 50 affiliated temples, and 30 manors and pastures. Today, you can still sense its grandeur as you explore its vast complex of prayer halls, courtyards, and golden roofs glinting under the sun.

Day 8 (April 08, 2026) Lhasa Culture Tour | Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Street, Special Dinner

Today, it is the time to explore Lhasa by visiting the world-famous Potala Palace, a World Heritage site and the picture behind the 50 RMB. And then, you will explore Lhasa by visiting Jokhang Temple, a world cultural heritage site renowned for its brilliant architecture, culture, art, and history. Finally, you can stroll through the famous Barkhor Street with locals and learn more about the daily kora life of Tibetans.

This morning, you’ll first explore Potala Palace. This is the most iconic landmark of Tibet and the former winter residence of the Dalai Lamas (1649-1959).

After climbing 365 stone steps from the palace gate to the Red Palace, you’ll reach the highest ancient palace in the world - standing proudly at 3,700 meters above sea level - and enjoy stunning panoramic view of Lhasa city.

As you wander through the halls, chapels, and sacred shrines that honor past Dalai Lamas, you’ll be captivated by the intricate murals, exquisite carvings, dazzling jeweled decorations, and the deep spiritual atmosphere that fills the air. Inside the Potala Palace, countless Tibetan pilgrims can be seen bowing and praying devoutly - for many, visiting this sacred site is the journey of a lifetime.

Your guide will also share fascinating stories about King Songtsen Gampo, the 33rd ruler of Tibet, who originally built the Potala Palace in the 7th century to honor his marriage to Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty.

  • Tickets are issued under a real-name reservation system. A valid ID or passport is required, and once reserved, rebooking is not allowed within 7 days.

According to legend, Jokhang Temple was built by King Songtsen Gampo for his two brides - Princess Wencheng of China and Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal. The name Jokhang means “House of the Buddha,” and the temple enshrines a life-sized statue of the 12-year-old Sakyamuni, one of the most sacred treasures in the Buddhist world. This makes Jokhang Temple the holiest pilgrimage site in Tibet.

Important Trip Notes for Booking a Tibet Group Tour

Do I need to get a Tibet permit to visit Tibet? How long does it take to obtain?
All foreign travelers are required to obtain a Tibet Travel Permit to visit Tibet. The permit can only be applied for through a registered travel agency in Tibet (we are local based Tibet travel agency with office setting in Lhasa) and is required to purchase flight or train tickets to Tibet. The permit is necessary to enter Tibet and visit certain areas within the region, including Lhasa and Mount Everest Base Camp. Travelers should plan ahead and allow sufficient time for the permit application process, as it can take one to two weeks to obtain the necessary permits.
All foreign travelers are advised to make their bookings at least one week in advance and send the necessary documents to us for obtaining the permits. However, if you plan to visit Mount Kailash, it is recommended to book at least two weeks in advance, as it may take longer to obtain the necessary permits.
How Many Tourists Travel in a Small Group Tour? Where Are They From?
Typically, small group tours in Tibet will have 1-16 travelers, and you will have the opportunity to meet and travel with tourists from different parts of the world. This can be a great chance to make new friends and connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds.
Can I have my own group tour?
Yes, if you are traveling with a group of friends or with your family, you can customize your own group tour. Please contact your professional travel consultant to discuss and arrange a customized group tour that meets your needs and preferences.

Private tour to Kailash Mansarovar
We were on private trip to kailash- Mansarovar through Lhasa with Asia Odyssey travel.
It was a great experience booking with Asia Odyssey travel. Asia Odyssey provided agent Rex to work with us. Rex is amazing individual who helped us through out our journey like carving itenary the way we wanted, provided good comfortable vehicle with very good driver and a very
friendly and caring tour guide. We are also satisfied with hotel stay in each city.All stays were upto the standard as he promised they would be. Thank you Rex.we are happy with the deal we got. Rex was in constant touch with us before, during and ending our journey. We requested many changes during our journey due to changed interest and flight schedule . He was there to help us every time.
I would highly recommend to travel with Asia Odyssey specially having Rex by your side.
Just one thing I would like to mentions is that the meal plans. I would suggest that if all three meals included in itenary would be great help for vegetarian travellers like us. So we didn't have to worry about food.
Overall it was a very good experience with Asia Odyssey and travel and Agent Rex. Much appreciated

Our agent Chia is simply the best
Our agent Chia is simply the best! She was in contact with us every step of the way from the time we committed to the Beijing - Xian - Chengdu - Lhasa - Shanghai tour. There was absolutely no stress with the entire tour ie. Pick ups, train/ plane tickets, payments. Each time Chia was able to answer any questions that we had almost immediately. The tour itself was great, met some really nice people from different parts of the world. Groups were a maximum of 12 so the guides were always very attentive - in Tibet, we only had 3 left in the group. We have travelled quite extensively but this is the first time we have engaged in a tour and it certainly did not disappoint. Highly recommended!

Tibet with Mt Kailash…
We had a very memorable trip in Tibet with Mt Kailash trek in September of 2025. First of all,I must say that Mr Isaac of Asia Odyssey was the most patient tour agent I have come across. Not only was he most patient with our questions, he was with us for a whole year into our preparation for this trip. Not only that, on more than one occasion,he was taking care of us as situations arose which affected our trip, like the flooding which occured at Gyirong border, the unrest in Nepal and such. The permits were applied in a timely manner and when things didn't work out for our group, Asia Odyssey made alternative arrangements as soon as possible to help our group. The guides arranged for us stayed with us till almost midnight to help us out when we had some difficulty. Most of the trip went smoothly and everything went like clockwork and hotels were good. We would definitely use Asia Odyssey for our travel plans again for this region. Asia Odyssey was outstanding and Mr Isaac was most helpful in arranging our trip and taking care of us.
