Tibet Overland Tour with EBC

Tibet Overland Tour with EBC Additional Info

Accommodation and Meals on This Tour

On this 8 day Tibet Overland Tour with Everest Base Camp, we put you up in comfortable hotels throughout, from Kyirong and Tingri to Shigatse and Lhasa. Given how remote parts of this route get, especially around Tingri and Rongbuk, the properties are simple but clean and well located, giving you a proper place to rest and recover after some genuinely long driving days. In Lhasa, you will get a bit more comfort with better hotel standards, which is a nice way to end the trip. Rooms are on twin or double sharing basis.

For meals, breakfast is included every morning so you are set up before the day’s drive. Lunch and dinner are on your own and honestly, that is by design. Tibetan food varies a lot from town to town and eating where the locals eat, whether it is a simple noodle soup in Tingri or a proper Tibetan thali in Lhasa, is part of what makes this trip memorable. Our guide will always point you toward solid, reliable places to eat along the route, so you are never left guessing, especially in the more remote stretches where options can be limited.

If you have specific hotel preferences or want to upgrade your stay in certain cities, just let us know. We are happy to build the package around what works best for you.

Transportation on the Tibet Overland Tour with EBC

You will have your own private vehicle and the same driver for the whole trip, from the Kyirong border all the way to Lhasa and back. No shared jeeps, no waiting on other groups.

The drive out of Kathmandu winds through the hills before climbing to the border and once you are in Tibet, the roads open up onto the high plateau, big skies, wide views and your first proper look at the Himalayas as you head toward Tingri. The stretch up to Rongbuk and Base Camp is slower and rougher but it is the highlight of the trip. From Shigatse to Lhasa, the roads smooth out and the pace relaxes a bit, with stops at monasteries and viewpoints along the way.

Airport pickup and drop off in Kathmandu are both included, so you are sorted from landing to departure.

Combine This Tour with an Everest Region Trek

Since you are already heading into Tibet to see Everest from the north side, quite a few of our guests decide to add on a trek through the Khumbu while they are at it, so they end up seeing the mountain from both directions on the same trip. Makes sense if you think about it, you have already done the hard part of getting out here.

Here is what our guest usually go for:

Everest Base Camp Trek: This is the one most famous trek almost all people know. If you have stood at Base Camp from the Tibet side already, walking up to it from the Nepal side too is a pretty special way to close the loop. Not a lot of people get to say they have done both.

Everest Three High Passes Trek Nepal: For the ones who want more than just Base Camp. You are crossing Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La on this one, three proper passes and the views from up there are something else. Definitely a step up in difficulty, but worth it if you are up for the challenge.

Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return: Same trek up to Base Camp but instead of walking all the way back down, you fly out by helicopter. Good if you want the full Base Camp experience without giving up as many extra days.

Everest Three High Pass Trek with Lobuche Peak: This one is for the more experienced guest. On top of the three passes, you are also climbing Lobuche Peak, so it is less of a trek and more of an actual mountaineering trip. Not for first-timers, but a big one if you are ready for it.

Everest Base Camp via Cho-la Pass with Gokyo Valley Trek: This route adds the Gokyo Lakes and a crossing over Cho La into the mix alongside Base Camp. You get a bit more variety in scenery, glacial lakes, high passes, the works, without going as far as the three passes route.

Everest Base Camp Yoga Trek: A bit different from the rest. Same trek to Base Camp but with yoga sessions built into the daily routine. Nice option if you want to balance the physical side of the trek with something a bit more grounding.

Since you will already be in Kathmandu and somewhat used to the altitude after the Tibet leg, slotting one of these in before or after your tour is a lot easier than planning a whole separate trip down the road. Just tell us which one catches your eye when you book and we’ll fit it into your itinerary.

Other Popular Tours from Nepal

If trekking isn’t really your thing or you have just got a few extra days and want something a bit more relaxed, there is plenty else worth adding onto your trip.

Kathmandu Valley Tour: A good one if you want to actually slow down and take in Kathmandu properly instead of just passing through. Durbar Squares, old temples, narrow backstreets full of history, easily a full day or two well spent.

Hindu Pilgrimage Tour: Nepal is home to some incredibly significant Hindu sites, Pashupatinath being the big one. If that side of Nepal’s culture interests you, this tour takes you through the most important temples and pilgrimage spots around the valley.

Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour: You will already be exploring Tibetan Buddhist culture on this trip, it is worth continuing that thread with Nepal’s own Buddhist heritage, Boudhanath, Swayambhunath, and Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha himself.

Exploring the Beautiful Pokhara: If you don’t want a full trek but still want mountain views, Pokhara is the easy way to get that. Lakeside walks, sunrise over the Annapurnas from Sarangkot, a much slower pace than Kathmandu.

Honeymoon Tour: For couples wanting to turn this into something a bit more romantic, we have got a tailored honeymoon package covering some of Nepal’s most scenic spots, designed around comfort rather than long days of travel.

Kathmandu Manakamana Bandipur Tour: A nice short add-on for people who want to see beyond the capital without committing to a big trip. Manakamana’s famous cable car and temple, paired with Bandipur’s old-world hilltop town, makes for a really pleasant couple of days.

Let us know if any of these catch your eye and we will work it into your itinerary alongside the Tibet tour.
