Ganden to Samye Trek

For travelers around the world, there has long been a strong pull to the remote, high plateau of Tibet, whose average elevation is an astonishing 16,000 feet. Witness the stark beauty and ancient mysticism of both a place and a people whose stories are so colorfully interwoven.

Visit the monasteries and shrines in the capital city Lhasa before venturing out into the high passes and secluded valleys that boast an ancient beauty still largely untouched by the modern world. This 5-day trek connects two of the country’s most important monasteries, Ganden and Samye, combining – with the help of yaks and local guides – the exploration of historical sites with the calm retreat into one of the planet’s most solitary high-altitude deserts.
