Our journey begins with a sweeping scenic flight from Kathmandu over the gigantic Himalayas to Lhasa. The old city of Lhasa dates back to 6-7th century is round the Potala Palace and Jokhang temple. Adventure continues with a drive to Tingri from where we start the trek to Rongbuk and Everest Base Camp. The drive involves crossing over passes of over 5000 meter with stunning picturesque scenery of the Tibetan moonscape, rural villages, people, and monasteries and breathtaking views of the snow capped mountains from Mt. Everest, Cho-Oyu and Mt. Shisapangma. Trekking from old Tingri toward Everest is a magnificent walk through rural Tibetan villages and nomad camps finally ending at Everest Base Camp. |
