Amazing journey through Tibet!!

We joined the Saturday Kathmandu to Lhasa group tour. The drive was long but the views were unbelievable, mountains everywhere. The guide was friendly and helped with everything, also with high altitude. Hotels were comfortable and breakfast good. Seeing Potala Palace in Lhasa was incredible. Very happy we joined this group tour.
