China – Lhasa train

On board (China)
Scenic - comfortable - memorable
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

Traversing over 4,000 km from Beijing to Lhasa, this iconic train ride offers a rare glimpse into Tibet’s vast, rugged beauty. As you ascend to over 5,000 metres, panoramic windows reveal snow-capped peaks, endless grasslands, and remote monasteries. Cabins are simple yet comfortable, with oxygen outlets to ease the effects of high altitude.

Sip butter tea in the dining car as the world’s highest railway weaves through frozen plateaus and deep valleys. More than just a journey, this is an odyssey into the heart of Tibet’s mystique.
