 A
Tibetan adventure journey with the opportunity of a non technical trek up
the East Rongbuk Glacier to Advanced Everest Base Camp and to visit some
of the classic Buddhist sites of this remarkable land!
With an average altitude in excess of 3500m, Tibet can truly be
described as the roof of the world. Lying to the north of the great
Himalayan range, much of the country is high-altitude desert. With its
spectacular mountain scenery and rich Buddhist culture, Tibet is indeed a
remarkable place to visit. From Kathmandu this exciting tour starts
with a Flight to Lhasa and then an overland journey and trek through some
of the most amazing landscapes on Earth. The country is speckled with
small settlements and nomadic herdsmen amidst wide arid plains all with
awe-inspiring mountain peaks as a backdrop. There is a wealth of culture
to experience in the towns we pass through: 3 nights are spent in Lhasa,
in the centre of the old city , allowing time for acclimatisation and easy
access to the city’s main attractions - the Potala Palace and the
Jokhang Temple. Leaving here in our Toyota Landcruiser 4 wheel drive, we’ll
set off through thecountry, staying in the best traditional hotels Tibet
has to offer. In the towns of Gyantse and Shigatse we explore further
monasteries and appreciate more of the Buddhist culture. The highlight of
this trip for most is the 6 day trek to Everest Base Camp and then up to
camp 3 at 6340 meters, via the East Rongbuk glacier. Here the sheer
grandeur of Everest’s north face you have to see to believe. This trek
takes you as close to the summit of Everest as any non climber can go.
