5-Day Lhasa and Yamdrok Lake Private Tailor-Made Tour

Lhasa · Lhasa · Lhasa · Yamdrok Lake · Lhasa

For travelers who want Lhasa on their own terms, this private, tailor-made tour pairs you with your own guide and vehicle for five unhurried days. There is no fixed group to keep up with, so the pace, the timing, and the depth of each visit are yours to shape. It is ideal for families, couples, photographers, and anyone who prefers to linger.

The core covers Lhasa's essential sights, the Potala, Jokhang, Barkhor, Drepung, and Sera, plus a full day out to Yamdrok Lake at 4,441m, one of Tibet's holy lakes. Want to add a teahouse afternoon, a particular monastery, or a slower start each morning? Tell us, and we build the itinerary around you.

Foreign visitors must travel on an organized tour with a licensed agency. As a private client you still need a Tibet Travel Permit and a guide, both of which we arrange, but everything else flexes to your wishes.
