Symptoms of altitude sickness can include headaches, nausea, and dizziness.
The most favorable seasons for visiting Tibet, including Lhasa and Everest Base Camp, are typically spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October). During these periods, the weather is generally mild, skies are clear, and the views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, are spectacular. Summer (June-August) is also popular, though it can bring more rain, while winter has colder temperatures but fewer crowds.
In Lhasa, the 8-day tour includes visits to several iconic cultural heritage sites. You will explore the majestic Potala Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site and former winter residence of the Dalai Lamas, and the sacred Jokhang Temple, a spiritual heart of Tibet. These sites offer deep insights into Tibetan Buddhist culture, history, and architecture.
On the tour, you'll witness breathtaking natural beauty. Yamdrok Lake, one of Tibet's three sacred lakes, offers stunning turquoise waters set against snow-capped mountains, perfect for photography.

Visiting Everest Base Camp (EBC) is a highlight, offering unparalleled views of Mount Everest. You'll spend time soaking in the majestic scenery, taking photos, and experiencing the unique atmosphere at the foot of the world's highest peak.
