This
overland tour consists of two parts: The first leg of the
trip begins with excursion in Lhasa, visiting the Potala Palace,
Jokhang, Sera and Drepung monasteries. After Lhasa we drive
to Tingri via Gyantse, Shigatse and Sakya, visiting all the
popular monasteries along the way. The second part of he trip
will be the Mt. Everest (north Face) Base Camp Trek from Tingri
on the friendship highway; it is relatively easy to access.
The walk is not particularly strenuous-only one low pass must
be crossed. Near the base camp is the reconstructed monastery
of Rongbuk, once, one of the largest monastic complexes in
the region. The view from here of the Everest north face,
perhaps is the most dramatic of all its sides, is unforgettable.
Well acclimatized trekkers without mountaineering expertise
have a number of options, including going up to more advanced
camp. After the Everest Base Camp, we drive to the border
city of Zhangmu via Shegar and exit.
