Combine China with Tibet

High in the Himalayas, nestled between majestic snow-capped mountains and grassy plateaus lies peaceful Tibet. The deeply engrained Buddhist culture in combination with mystifying nature makes Tibet an extraordinary addition to your China trip. Tibet has an incomparable magical appeal. If you're like most travellers, you've probably been curious about the pilgrim city of Lhasa, the Tibetan monasteries and Mount Everest with its prayer flags waving in the wind beckoning to adventurers trekking up to the top.
