Comprising only the Autonomous Region of Tibet
The fascinating Tibetan Plateau is considered the spiritual rooftop of the world—vast, stark, and deeply moving. Dominated by Himalayan grandeur, this is a land of monasteries, sky-burial sites, yak herders, and Buddhist devotion.
Best Time to Visit: May–October is best for road access and high-altitude travel; July–August is peak season, but you are likely to experience some rain.
Highlights:
- Lhasa – Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor pilgrims’ circuit.
- Gyantse & Shigatse – Fortresses and monasteries along ancient trade routes.
- Mount Everest (Tingri side) – Base camp views and sacred peaks.
- Lake Namtso & Yamdrok – Sacred high-altitude lakes with spiritual resonance.
