Be enchanted by mysterious Tibet and see Mount Everest on this tour including hotels with breakfast, private excursions, transfers and flights!

Have you always dreamed of visiting mysterious Tibet? Normally it isn't so easy to enter the country, but this exclusive tour gives you the chance to finally make your wish come true. Your fairy tale starts in the Chinese capital Beijing, and then you'll visit authentic cities including Xi'an where you'll be enchanted by traditional rituals and legends of ancient Chinese dynasties. As well as this, you'll also get the chance to admire giant pandas up close in Chengdu. Then it's time to travel further to reach 'the roof of the world'. Tibet has earned this nickname due to its dizzying position at an altitude of 4,500 metres. Here, you'll find Buddhist pilgrimage sites, ancient monasteries and gigantic mountain lakes. But it doesn't stop there... As the icing on the cake, you can also see Mount Everest during this trip. Let the adventure begin!
