Tibet Tours of 18 Days and Longer
These are expeditions rather than tours: three weeks or more on the plateau. Most are cycling journeys; the Greater Tibet Circuit is a private three-week drive through the whole country.

Expeditions of 18 days and longer
These are expeditions rather than tours: three weeks or more on the plateau. Most are cycling journeys — from Golmud over the Kunlun mountains to Lhasa, from Lhasa to Kathmandu across the Himalaya, or from Lhasa all the way to Mount Kailash.
The Greater Tibet Circuit is a private journey by car through the whole country in three weeks: Lhasa, the east, the west and the north.
How these trips work
- A support vehicle carries luggage, water and spare parts on every cycling trip
- Our guide and driver stay with you from start to finish
- The first days are always spent at lower altitude, getting used to the air
Who it suits
Cyclists and overland travellers who want to cross the plateau slowly and see the country change from day to day. These are for people with time, good fitness and a love of long roads; we plan each one with you in detail before you travel.
Good to know
You need good fitness and some experience of long trips. Best months are May to September. We arrange all permits for every region on the route.
