spectacular peaks of Kanchenjunga (8536m)
and off course the Mt. Everest. We have three
nights in Lhasa for proper acclimatization.
We witness the historical sights and sounds
of ancient Shangri including Potala palace,
Norbulinkha temple, Jorkhang temple, Sera
and Drepung monasteries. We visit Gyantse
to explore the historic fort and monastery.
At Shigatse we visit the impressive Tashilhunpo
Monastery, ancient seat of the Panchen Lama

Tibetan Plateau to the spectacular Rongbuk
Valley and Everest Base Camp. The views of
the north Kangshung face of Mt. Everest from
Rongbuk and Everest base camp are simply sensational.
Traversing through the high passes and rugged
terrain and an incredible formation of the
highest plateau of the world, fascinates you.
It is awesome to view beautiful rocks cascades
and canyons slightly hidden in the thin flying
mists of the mighty presence of the Mt. Shisapangma
(8212m) on our overland drive back to Nepal
board to end the exhilarating Tibet tour to
Lhasa Everest base camp.
