Tibet, often referred to as the "Roof of the World," offers an unparalleled adventure for travelers seeking breathtaking landscapes, unique cultural experiences, and an immersion into one of the world’s most spiritual regions. Our meticulously crafted Tibet Overland Jeep Tour from Kathmandu provides an extraordinary journey that combines the rugged charm of the Himalayas with Tibet’s mystical beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture. From the ancient streets of Kathmandu to the awe-inspiring landscapes of Tibet, this adventure promises to be an unforgettable experience brimming with breathtaking vistas and meaningful cultural interactions.
Your journey begins in Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital, a city teeming with historical and cultural treasures. Kathmandu is home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites that provide a glimpse into Nepal's rich heritage and spiritual significance.
Before crossing into Tibet, you’ll have time to explore these iconic sites, soaking in the history and spirituality that Kathmandu is known for.
After your time in Kathmandu, the journey takes you to Tibet, where the excitement truly begins. The route from Kathmandu to Tibet is a scenic adventure in itself. You’ll cross into Tibet through Zhangmu, entering via the Friendship Highway – a historic trade route between Nepal and Tibet.
The drive offers a stunning blend of natural beauty, with panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, verdant valleys, and rugged mountain terrain. As you venture higher into the Himalayas, you’ll witness dramatic changes in the landscape, from lush forests to barren plateaus. The dramatic vistas make this a thrilling journey, where each turn offers a new, breathtaking view of the natural world.
Crossing into Tibet via the Kyirong Border marks the beginning of your Tibetan experience. From this point forward, you’ll explore the sacred land of Tibet in the comfort of a 4x4 Jeep, ideal for traversing Tibet’s diverse terrain.
Tibet is home to some of the world’s most awe-inspiring monasteries and palaces. As you journey deeper into the heart of the region, you’ll have the opportunity to explore some of Tibet’s most iconic spiritual and architectural landmarks.
These monasteries are not just tourist attractions but serve as spiritual hubs for Tibetan Buddhists. Exploring these sacred sites provides you with a deeper understanding of the culture and religious practices that define Tibet.
Tibet’s culture is rich and diverse, and a visit to the local markets, museums, and even the zoo is a must for travelers wishing to fully immerse themselves in the Tibetan way of life.
These sites help you experience the lively and resilient spirit of the Tibetan people, as well as the deep connection they maintain with their environment, traditions, and culture.
The heart of Tibet lies in its people, their customs, and their unwavering spirituality. As you travel through the Tibetan plateau, you’ll encounter local Tibetan communities, each with their own traditions, way of life, and values. The warmth of the Tibetan people is evident in their hospitality, and you’ll have the chance to engage with locals, learning about their ancient customs, daily life, and beliefs.
Tibetan Buddhism is integral to their culture, and many Tibetan families practice spiritual rituals in their homes, from lighting butter lamps to offering prayers. As you explore monasteries, local homes, and villages, you’ll gain an appreciation for the Tibetan spirit and their deep-rooted connection to the land.
Perhaps the most striking feature of Tibet is its breathtaking landscapes. The Tibet Overland Jeep Tour takes you through some of the most spectacular natural scenery in the world, from the towering peaks of the Himalayas to serene lakes and vast plateaus.
Throughout the journey, the constantly changing scenery—from lush valleys and high plateaus to majestic mountains—will leave you in awe of Tibet’s natural beauty.

Today we will cross over a few mountain passes. Kungthang la pass 5236m is one of the highest and you will bypass it.
Today Is a scenic drive from Shegar to Shigatse. Shigatse is the second largest city of Lhasa.
Gyantse is a pastoral town and still retains the charm of a traditional Tibetan town. This town is still untouched by modern expansion.

There’s a lot to see and do in Lhasa. It’s one of the highest cities in the world at 3,650 meters. We visit the famous Potala Palace which is included in your package. Some say it’s the icon of Tibet, and over the years, it’s been home to 14 Dalai Lamas. You may also want to take a trip down to Barkhor Street and spend time at the Dreprung monastery. Or sample some of the many restaurants whilst chilling out with a cool beer.
The route today is straight forward but scenic at the same time. We will ride along the Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra River).

We tackle a 5,200 metre high pass and endless switchbacks with more than 117 curves before riding up a wide and dry valley. We arrive in plenty of time to visit Everest Base Camp at an altitude of just over 17,000 feet. (5,200 metres) We have to dismount, leave our jeep securely parked and travel the remaining few kilometres to Visitor’s Base Camp by Electric bus transport. This is due to environmental issues and for the preservation of this sensitive area. The world’s highest mountain now looms majestically in front of you. We spend this afternoon and evening taking photographs and watching the sun go down over her peak. I can assure you that these moments will stay etched in your memory forever. The next time you’re at this altitude, you’ll be on your flight home..
It’s a chilly start to the day as we wake very early for a final view of Base Camp and to watch the sunrise over Mount Everest. Another high pass and back down towards the highway.
