Visit the Roof of the World!
For many, 2020 was a year of discovering new domestic pleasures... Even though international travel isn't really possible for us at at the moment - travelling domestically has never been easier - or cheaper. And luckily China has hundreds of incredible places to visit.
These upcoming months, why not take advantage of Le Tour's unique travel deals and have a change of scenery. You will be able to take a breather from city life, and visit some of the most and exotic and beautiful location in China – Tibet. Tibet is now OPEN to foreigners again.

Tibet is one of the highest region on Earth, with an average elevation of 4380m (14.000ft) above sea level. It normally attracts millions of tourists from all over the world every year. With an area of 1.2 million square kilometers, and a mere 3 million dwellers, Tibet is the most sparsely populated region in China. Tibetan Buddhism is well preserved and practiced here: it not only brings harmony to the mind, but also harmony to people and nature. Though delicate, the eco system in Tibet Plateau is therefore intact.
