Tibet, a place you must visit at least once in your lifetime.

If you yearn for pristine snow-capped mountains, deep blue sacred lakes, and dazzling starry skies, then the Ali Great Loop is your ultimate travel destination. This is Tibet's hidden gem, known as the "Roof of the World's Roof," where every scene looks like a painting come to life. · Must-visit attractions 📍 Mount Kailash: The sacred mountain of Tibetan Buddhism, known as the "Center of the World." Circumambulating the mountain is the ultimate dream of pilgrims. 📍 Lake Manasarovar: One of the three sacred lakes in Tibet, its waters are as clear as a mirror, earning it the name "Invincible Jade Lake." 📍 Zanda Clay Forest: A masterpiece of nature, the bizarre clay formations make you feel like you're on another planet. 📍 Guge Kingdom Ruins: The mysterious Guge Kingdom was once one of Tibet's most glorious civilizations, and its ruins are spectacular and awe-inspiring. 📍 Pangong Tso: A magical lake that is half freshwater and half saltwater, its colors shift with the light, breathtakingly beautiful. 📍 Naimona'nyi Peak: Facing Mount Kailash, the snow-capped mountain and the sacred lake complement each other, creating a stunning view. 📍 Siling Co: The largest lake in Tibet, its waters are deep blue, surrounded by vast grasslands and wildlife. · 🚗 Itinerary Reference D1: Gather in Lhasa, acclimatize to the high altitude D2: Lhasa - Yamdrok Lake - Shigatse D3: Shigatse - Everest Base Camp D4: Everest Base Camp - Saga D5: Saga - Lake Manasarovar - Mount Kailash D6: Circumambulate Mount Kailash (trekking) D7: Mount Kailash - Zanda Clay Forest - Guge Kingdom D8: Zanda - Shiquanhe - Pangong Tso D9: Pangong Tso - Gaize D10: Gaize - Siling Co - Namtso D11: Namtso - Lhasa · Important Notes ▪ The average altitude in Ali is over 4,500 meters.
