Detail Itinerary - Day to Day Route Description
Kathmandu arrival
You arrive at Kathmandu and are received by the Ambition Himalaya team at the airport on the first day of your Nepal Tibet Tour. You reach your hotel after a short ride and check in. It is an easy and pleasant day as your body gets used to travelling. A short walk through the streets around your hotel will give you a feel of the combination of temples, shops, and local life. The city of Kathmandu has a vibrant but friendly atmosphere; there are small courtyards and cultural details.
You might want to go to a local market to purchase small necessities such as snacks, a SIM card, or even taste Nepali milk tea, in case you come early. Make the evening light with a warm meal and early bed. Getting a good sleep will enable you to be ready for the next day of travel.
Kathmandu sightseeing
Today you visit the cultural sites of Kathmandu Valley. You explore four sites in Kathmandu that are listed in UNESCO World Heritage sites, which are Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath, Boudhanath, and Pashupatinath.
There are historic palaces, temples, and elaborate carvings of wood that can be found at Durbar Square, which are the remnants of the royal Nepal. Next, you go to Swayambhunath to the top, where one gets a panoramic view of the city, and can also view the colorful prayer flags.
The large stupa in Boudhanath has pilgrims and monks going around the stupa, creating an atmosphere of calm and spirituality. Lastly, you pay a visit to Pashupatinath, a holy Hindu temple compound on the Bagmati River.
The day will provide you with a profound first impression of Nepalese culture and religion, and will be a significant beginning of your trip to Tibet.
Drive to Pokhara
In the morning, you have breakfast, and then you start driving out of Kathmandu in a tourist bus to Pokhara. The journey takes us along rivers, hills, and villages, illustrating the everyday Nepalese life.
It has farms, bridges and shifting landscapes along the way, which make the drive interesting and enjoyable. In approximately 6-7 hours, you reach the lovely city of Pokhara, which is serene. You take a room in your hotel and walk to the Lakeside.
It is an ideal place to relax with the peaceful lake, mountain scenery and calm ambience. You may even have a walk near the water, have a cup of coffee, or just relax after the travel. This day will assist your body to relax and be ready to face the next day’s activities.
Sarangkot sunrise and Pokhara sightseeing
You wake up early and travel to Sarangkot to see the sun rise over the Himalayas. During a clear day the mountain scenery is bright and beautiful with the first light hitting the mountains.
You continue sightseeing in Pokhara with a full day of visiting places after having breakfast. You go to the Seti River Gorge and observe the river drilling through the rocks. At Matepani Monastery, you enjoy a peaceful and quiet environment.
You also go to Davis Falls, where the water vanishes underground in a peculiar manner. The World Peace Stupa provides extensive landscapes of the valley and the lake. This day is an integration of nature, culture and scenic beauty, not involving long and tough walks.
Return to Kathmandu
After having breakfast, you take a tourist bus back to Kathmandu. The trip is once more approximately 6-7 hours long, and the same scenic route is used.
Upon arrival, the evening is dedicated to preparing for your Tibet trip. You get a briefing, and the crew tells you about permits, border protocols, packing guidelines, and safety at altitude. This will make you feel prepared and assured about the next section of the trip. You will be able to sort your bags, divide warm clothes, and make little cash in case.
Have a relaxing evening. Before starting the Tibet overland journey, a good rest is essential. This day will serve as a transition between Nepal and Tibet, both in body and mind, and will assist you in making the next step in your adventure.
Drive to Kerung Border and enter Tibet
You begin at an early hour and head towards the Nepal-Tibet border. The highway goes through the rural regions and slowly ascends into the mountainous regions. Once you get to the border, you go through Nepal immigration and proceed to the Chinese border, where you go through entry procedures. The trip may take some time, depending on the weather and the road conditions.
Once you cross the border, you arrive at your hotel or guesthouse in Kerung and sleep. This is a significant day since it is the first day in a new region where you have a different culture and environment. The altitude is also high, and one needs to take things at a slow pace, drink water, and have ample rest. This will be the start of your Tibet adventure in the Nepal Tibet Tour.
Kerung to Tingri/Lhatse
You go on with your journey into further Tibet after breakfast. The scenery is in rapid transition as you leave the hills and go into expansive plains. You pass through the high Tibetan plateau, which is commonly referred to as the roof of the world. During clear days, you can observe high Himalayan mountains such as Cho Oyu and Shishapangma.
The Tingri region has distant views of the Everest region on the Tibetan side. This is also a day of acclimatization. Take it slow, take lots of water, and avoid walking too much. This day is memorable to many travelers due to the beautiful views and the unique environment. It is an authentic Nepal-Tibet tourism attraction.
Tingri/Lhatse to Shigatse
You are now on your way across the great Tibetan plateau. The road leads you along open scenery, where there is a view to the horizon, the sun is shining, and the sky is broad and blue. Among the highlights is a crossing of Gyatchu La (5,220 m / 17,126 ft), which is one of the highest points on the road to Lhasa. Here, you are able to view the spectacular scenery of the local mountains and valleys.
As you go on, you also find a crossroad where one road is heading to Mount Kailash and this gives you an idea of the travelling routes of Tibet. Once you cross the pass, you will slowly go down to Shigatse, which is one of the biggest cities in Tibet. You can have a short walk in the evening around your hotel, keep warm and sleep so as to adapt to the altitude.
Shigatse to Gyantse
The day starts with a visit to Tashilhunpo Monastery in Shigatse, a great religious hub and the conventional seat of Panchen Lama. As you learn about Tibetan Buddhist traditions, you visit its courtyards and prayer halls. The visit is followed by a drive to Gyantse, a historical town that has a rich cultural ambience.
You go to the renowned Kumbum Stupa and Pelkor Chode Monastery complex in Gyantse. These locations have a characteristic architecture and artistic features. The town is less busy and has a more traditional atmosphere than bigger cities. You take time and rest in the evening. You should drink water and exercise sparingly as you further adapt to the high altitudes.
Gyantse to Lhasa
Today, the drive goes through the most picturesque part of your journey. You pass through high mountainous tracks and scenery. You cross Karola Pass (5,010 m / 16,437 ft) and Kambala Pass (4,749 m / 15,580 ft) both offering stunning views. You also stop at Yamdrok Lake, located at about 4,441 m / 14,570 ft. The bright blue color of the lake contrasts with the mountains and the sky around it.
And further on, the road takes the river valley of the Brahmaputra, or Yarlung Tsangpo. As you near Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet, the scenery gradually evolves. Once there, you get checked into your hotel and rest. Eat lightly, rest and get used to the level elevation (3,650 m / 11,975 ft).
Lhasa sightseeing – Potala Palace and Barkhor area
Today, you visit the cultural and spiritual center of Tibet. You pay a visit to the Potala Palace, the historic landmark and the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Within, there are lovely prayer halls, murals, and holy places symbolizing Tibetan history and religion. Your guide will tell you the meaning and significance of each area. Afterward, you walk around the Barkhor around Jokhang Temple.
You see the local pilgrims walking in a circular way (kora) and spinning prayer wheels. This sets a peaceful and spiritual mood. Lhasa is located at 3,650 m (11,975 ft), thus it is advisable to travel slowly and take rest when necessary. There is a profound attachment to the Tibetan culture and history of this day.
Lhasa sightseeing – temples and monasteries
Today, you will visit key religious sites in Lhasa. You start with a visit to Jokhang Temple, which is regarded as the spiritual center of Tibet. Here, we observe great devotion among local people and get to know more about day-to-day religious life.
Then, you go to Drepung Monastery, one of the biggest and most significant monasteries in this area. During the afternoon, you visit Sera Monastery, where monks are fond of traditional debates.
These debates are unique to Tibetan Buddhist learning: watching them provides you with a glimpse into Tibetan Buddhism. You are going to be at an elevation of 3,650 m (11,975 ft); therefore, you should be hydrated and not overworked. This day is the end of your cultural experience in Lhasa and provides further insight into Tibetan life and traditions.
Fly from Lhasa to Kathmandu
You begin at an early hour and go to Lhasa Gonggar Airport to board a flight back to Kathmandu. The airport is high-altitude; therefore, you need to take things slow and continue taking water. Most of the travelers breathe easier having come back from the Tibetan plateau.
After arriving at your hotel in Kathmandu, you can relax and renew yourself. This day allows your body to have some rest after spending days at high altitude. You may spend a relaxing night and stay in Nepal. It is a smooth flow between the high mountains and the relaxed atmosphere.
Free day in Kathmandu
Today is a flexible and relaxed day in Kathmandu. You may spend some time in Thamel and go shopping, purchasing the souvenirs, or you may visit the local cafes. You may also want to take part in optional activities like a brief cultural tour or cooking experience. The city is located at 1,300 m (4,265 ft), and walking around it and seeing the environment is easy.
This free day will enable you to do the most interesting things that you can be doing, either relaxing or exploring. It allows you to pack up, say goodbye to Nepal, and spend your last days there. During the evening, you can have a farewell dinner to sum up the trip that you have made.
Departure from Kathmandu
You have breakfast, and you are ready to leave. You are picked up by the Ambition Himalaya team from the hotel to the airport.

The best seasons are during spring and autumn in Nepal when the weather is clear, stable, and visibility is good. There are also blooming flowers in spring, and the autumn views of crisp mountains following the monsoon. The months are pleasant in Kathmandu and Pokhara, and it is easy to sightsee.
The climate of the high plateau in Tibet implies intense sunlight, arid air, and significant variations in temperature during the day and night. The best time to visit Tibet is from May to October, when roads are more reliable and temperatures are milder. Autumn is usually the most favorable season with clear skies in Nepal and clear weather in Tibet to enjoy a smooth ride throughout the Nepal and Tibet Tour Itinerary.
Food & drink
During the Nepal Tibet Tour, food is significant to maintain your energy level. In Nepal, it is possible to taste such dishes as dal bhat, momo, noodle soups, and vegetable curries. International meals, cafes, and bakeries are also available in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Tibetan food is also much more basic, with food choices such as noodle soup, fried rice, dumplings, and Tibetan bread.
You can also have a taste of tsampa and butter tea in traditional places. The higher the altitudes, the slower the appetite may be, and warm light meals are simpler to digest.
It is highly recommended to remain hydrated because of the dry air and long travelling days during the Nepal Tibet Tour. Keep a bottle of water and drink frequently. It is best to avoid alcohol and limit coffee in high altitudes to feel more comfortable.
Altitude sickness
Altitude awareness is highly necessary when visiting the Nepal Tibet Tour since it is a high altitude above 3,500 m (11,483 ft) and a pass over 5,000 m (16,404 ft). Some travelers might experience symptoms including a headache, nausea, fatigue, or dizziness. The most effective methods of avoiding troubles are to climb gradually, get plenty of water, and have plenty of rest.

Do not ignore symptoms. Descent is the safest remedy in difficult situations. The right pacing, hydration, and care can make your Nepal Tibet Tour safe and comfortable.
Nepal Tibet Tour visa and permit.
An essential component of the Nepal Tibet Tour planning is documents. Nepal provides a visa-on-arrival to most of the travelers at the airports and land borders. But Tibet needs special permits. Travelling alone in Tibet is not possible, and you should have a Tibet Travel Permit organized by a registered agency. The visitor most likely requires a Chinese group visa attached to the permit when entering Nepal.
This is not a typical Chinese visa and can substitute for any visa. These documents are facilitated by Ambition Himalaya to make the process easier. Always bring copies of your passport and photos. Rules are subject to change, and hence, you should check everything before the Nepal Tibet Tour.

Ensure that your insurance covers medical care, emergency evacuation and cancellation of trips. The most basic policies might not accommodate high-altitude travel and you should look into the particulars.
You should discuss your travel with your doctor and insurer in case you have any health conditions. Insurance can also be used to cover your valuables, including luggage and electronics. Although your guide and team will assist you in the journey, insurance can offer you financial security in case of an emergency. It brings a sense of relief and prepares you in case of unforeseen circumstances during the Nepal Tibet Tour.

This is why it is so helpful to have a guide. Your guide can help with the translation, hotel check-in, and daily needs. Before traveling, it is also handy to download offline maps and translation apps. Basic communication, patience, and being friendly are just some of the things that will assist you in mingling well along the way of the Nepal Tibet Tour.

NataliaVerified Excepcional Muy recomendable esta empresa, y por supuesto, su representante Shishir. Contacto muy fácil y cercano desde el minuto 1, cualquier duda/pregunta aclarada en el momento. Ruta hecha a nuestra medida. El guía de habla español, muy muy bien, Purna☺️. Comenzamos el 19 de febrero, hasta el 6 de marzo. Desde la llegada al aeropuerto un trato muy muy bueno, hasta nuestro último día en Katmandú. Shishir se encarga de todo, y todo salió de 10. Todo perfecto. El Trekking es una maravilla y si encima salen las cosas bien, mejor que mejor. Recomiendo mucho mucho esta empresa . Zabdu42Verified Superbe expérience dans le Haut Mustang Dès la prise de contact avec l’agence, tout a été fluide. David ExpositoVerified Maravillosa!! De las mejores experiencias que he tenido nunca, desde el primer momento. Bhakta y Hari, el porteador y guía respectivamente, de lo mejor. Gente super agradable, simpática, atenta, que están pendiente continuamente de que te sientas bien. Te sientes arropado en todo momento. El trekking es precioso. Las vistas, la gente, los poblados. Es necesario vivirlo para sentirlo. Sin duda, volveré a hacer otro de los trekkings al campo base con ellos. Freedom57809069101Verified 1000% would recommend My husband and I travelled with Ambition Himalaya in 2025. We had a super easy time communicating with Shishir and he was amazing in helping us set an itinerary that worked for us. Ghaman (our guide) and Mohan (porter) were friendly, welcoming, and extremely helpful. We were unable to hike our original route due to some non-altitude related health issues and they adjusted the plan so we could still make the most of our time. We also got sick at the end of the trek and had to change our flights home and Shishir was super accommodating and helpful while we navigated that. 1000% would recommend them. chiara fVerified Beautiful 3 days experience A wonderful experience! We did a three-day trek, passing through the villages of Ghorepani, Tadapani, and Gandruk. We saw the sunrise from Poon Hill and from Tadapani itself. We really enjoyed the refreshment stops along the way, where we always found great hospitality and delicious meals. We loved the accommodation in Ghorepani, which had a beautiful common room surrounded by mountains, served good food, and had a lovely, convivial atmosphere. All of this was organized by Shishir with great professionalism: communicating with him before departure was quick and easy; we had no problems at all; he guided us with expertise, cheerfulness, and discretion at the same time. Thank you, and see you soon!

DaanVerified Thanks Ambition Himalaya - Great trip, excellent guide, perfect weather, what more to expect! Wij hebben bij Ambition Himalaya de Everest View trek geboekt, een prachtige wandeling met als hoogtepunt het uitzicht vanaf het Everest View Hotel. De reis was door Ambition Himalaya uitstekend geregeld, met goede informatie vooraf. Speciale dank naar onze gids, Ganesh, die enorm behulpzaam was, en de reis nog makkelijker, gezelliger en mooier maakte! Ik zou zeker aanbevelen bij Ambition Himalaya te boeken. Door vertraagde vluchten in de dagen voorafgaand aan onze vlucht naar Lukla helaas één dag vertraging gehad. Het regelwerk dat dit met zich meebracht werd door onze gids van Ambition Himalaya opgepakt, zelf inclusief het regelen van een betaalbare overnachting. SooVerified Enchanting Australian Base Camp, Dhampus and Sarangkot trek I recently went on a 3 day trek in Nepal in December 2025. We started from Kande village, trekked to Australian Base Camp then to Dhampus village and finally to Sarangkot village which overlooks Pokhara city. My guide was Shishir who is also the owner of the trekking company. Even though the trek was shorter and easier than the other popular treks like EBC and ABC treks, this short trek packed value for money. Along much of the trail we witnessed the astounding and breathtaking vistas of the mighty Annapurna range. We also trekked through pristine and beautiful villages and got to experience firsthand the diverse cultural heritage. Shishir notwithstanding being the owner of the trekking company was also a very experienced guide. He led me to explore a new, hardly trodden path from Dhampus to Sarangkot that maximized the view of the Annapurna range. This was the third straight year I had employed the services of this company. I had done the EBC trek in 2023 and the ABC trek in 2024. Shishir and his staff provided excellent and thoughtful service and you’re guaranteed to be well taken care of from the moment you arrive in Kathmandu till the time you depart from this magical country.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
