Himalaya Tours: Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan & Beyond
Our Himalaya tours take you beyond Tibet — into Nepal’s sacred valleys, Bhutan’s cliff monasteries, the Tibetan heartlands of Yunnan and Sichuan, and the high plateaus of Qinghai. One mountain range, six extraordinary destinations, and 15+ years of local expertise guiding every step of the way.
The Himalayas don’t end at Tibet’s borders. They stretch across an entire world connected by altitude, Buddhist culture and breathtaking landscapes. Whether you are crossing overland from Lhasa to Kathmandu, witnessing the Monlam Festival in Qinghai or trekking to Tiger’s Nest in Bhutan — every one of these Himalaya tours shares the same soul.
Experience Tibet has been designing Himalaya tours for over 15 years. We are a Lhasa-based agency with certified local guides, deep regional knowledge and strong on-the-ground networks across Nepal, Bhutan, Yunnan, Sichuan and Qinghai.
Every tour in this collection is a small group experience (2-15 travelers), with all permits handled, all transfers included, and an English-speaking local guide from day one.

Himalaya Tour: A Real 32-Day Story from Bhutan to Tibet
A 32-day Himalaya Tour is not the kind of trip you plan on a Tuesday night after watching a mountain documentary. It is the kind of trip you decide to take after years of quiet daydreaming, one major life conversation, and the moment you finally say out loud: “Ok. We are actually doing this.”
Janie and Stan, a couple from the United States, said that sentence. They sold most of their belongings and committed to a life of travel. Their 32-day Himalaya Tour is what happened next, across three countries, on us at Experience Tibet.
