If you start your tour from Kathmandu, you can first spend 2 or 3 days to explore the Kathmandu Valley – Kathmandu, Patan, Bhaktapur, Nagarkot, etc. Then drive from Kathmandu to the border of China and Nepal. After entering Tibet, you can firstly go to explore the Mount Everest. Next destination is the second largest city in Tibet – Shigatse where you can visit some brilliant monasteries. Leaving Shigatse, you can go to visit the holy lake Yamdrok. Lastly, you will get to Lhasa – the capital city. You can spend 2 or 3 days to unlock this holy city. Your tour usually ends at Lhasa, but if you have more time, you can extend your tour to Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Shanghai and other cities in China.
