Reiseplan » Top things to do in Tibet

Tibet is truly the roof of the world. It is the source of famous rivers like the Yangtze, Yellow, Mekong, and Indus; it is a Buddhist holy land, where you can see Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags hanging all around; it is a sacred place, where there are magnificent monasteries sitting on halfway down the snow-capped mountains, under the blue sky, or close to the pure lakes. More than 2 million foreign travelers visit Tibet every year. They come to this land and visit the iconic images like the prominent historical architectures - Potala Palace, mystical Jokhang Temple; go for adventure by bike riding on the way to Namtso or suburb of Lhasa City; go to see Mt. Everest – a trip to Everest Base Camp could be an unforgettable memory of your life.

Lhasa, the capital and political, economic, and cultural center of the Tibet Autonomous Region. It's located in the central part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and southeast of the Tibet Autonomous Region. It is 3650 meters above sea level and one of the highest cities in the world. Lhasa is also the first impression of a Tibet tour for most travelers.

Namtso Lake, one of the top three holy lakes in Tibet, is an ideal place to take a spiritual journey. Approximately 240km northwest of Lhasa, Namtso Lake (4730m) is the second-largest saltwater lake in China and one of the most beautiful natural sights in Tibet. Namtso Lake is over 70km long, reaches a width of 30km and is 35m at its deepest point. When the ice melts in late April, Namtso Lake is a miraculous shade of turquoise and there are magnificent views of the nearby mountains. The wide-open spaces, dotted with tents of local nomads, are intoxicating, as Namtso Lake is a favored pasture for local nomads. The Nyenchen Tanglha range, with peaks of more than 7000m, towers over Namtso Lake to the south. Namtso Lake is at 4730m so you’ll need to acclimatize in and around Lhasa for a few days before heading this way. It is not unusual for visitors to get altitude sickness on at Namtso Lakeside.
