Imperial Beijing & Sacred Tibet Journey
10 days / 9 nightsBeijing · Tibet4 reviews
Overview
Two of China's most powerful places — linked into a single unforgettable arc. Beijing opens with the weight of five centuries of imperial history; Tibet arrives like a different planet: thin air, butter-lamp light, chanting monks, and horizons that seem to belong to another age. This journey pairs the familiar with the extraordinary, moving from the Forbidden City to the rooftop of the world with a private guide who understands both.
