Expert advice and insider tips for your Tibet adventure

The Tibet side lets you drive to 5,200m. Sounds easy — it’s not. Here’s what actually happens: 3 days acclimatizing in Lhasa (non-negotiable), Gyawula Pass with 5 peaks over 8,000m, and sleeping in a tent at Rongbuk with no shower.

The Kailash kora is 52km around the most sacred mountain in Asia. Day 2 crosses Drolma La at 5,630m — every step is work. Tibetan pilgrims do this 108 times for enlightenment. Most foreigners barely finish once.
