Trip Overview
Introduction to Nepal Lhasa Overland Tour
Connecting the two countries, Nepal Lhasa Overland Tour is a popular tour of Tibet. This trip connects the two old capital cities, Lhasa in Tibet and Kathmandu in Nepal. This is an adventure trip to Tibet where travelers have a lot of fun in a short period.
Nepal Lhasa Overland Tour will take you to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. Located right next to the Lhasa River, this valley is considered the heart of Tibet. It has its history, religion, culture, and tradition.
In the Tibetan language, “Lhasa” means holy land or Buddhist land. It is the center of Tibet’s politics, economy, culture, and tourism. It is busy and modern and looks like many other Chinese cities. Most infrastructure, such as banks and government offices, are there. The Tibetan people have been practicing Tibetan Buddhism and Bon. Historic Buddhist monasteries are still in the same structure that the Tibetans have well preserved.
