Xi'An to Kashgar
After years of longing for Dunhuang, embark on a journey through the desert, exploring along the path of Xuanzang through the 36 Western Regions.

A 15-day tour encompassing all must-see destinations in Tibet including Potala Palace, Mount Everest Base Camp, Mount Kailash pilgrimage trek, and Lake Manasarovar.
This 15-day tour encompasses all the must-see destinations in Tibet. The scenic route will take you through breathtaking landscapes and Buddhist cultural heritage, including the majestic Potala Palace, monasteries, lakes, glaciers, Mount Everest Base Camp, the Himalayas, Mount Kailash, and Lake Manasarovar.
Mount Kailash attracts thousands of pilgrims annually, and we will embark on a 52km trek around the sacred mountain. Lake Manasarovar is a holy lake for both Buddhism and Hinduism and is the source of the Ganges River. Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, is a dream destination for all.
If you only visit Tibet once in your life, we highly recommend this 15-day Everest and Mount Kailash tour, offering an immersive experience of Tibet from religious beliefs, cultural geography, natural beauty, geological wonders, and high-altitude trekking.
