We have three nights in Lhasa for proper acclimatization. Next, we witness ancient Shangri's historical sights and sounds, including Potala palace, Norbulinkha temple, Jokhang temple, Sera, and Drepung monasteries. Finally, we visit and explore the Gyantse, the historic fort and monastery.

An exploration of awesome Tibetan culture and views of the incredible Kangshung face of Everest and the world's highest situated Ronbuk Monastery.

At Shigatse, we visit the impressive Tashilhunpo Monastery, the ancient seat of the Panchen Lama, before driving across the stark windswept 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 sensational. Traversing through the high passes, rugged terrain, and an incredible formation of the world's highest plateau fascinates you.

It is incredible to view beautiful rocks cascades and canyons that are slightly hidden in the thin flying mists of the mighty presence of Mt. Shisapangma (8212m) on our overland drive back to Nepal board to end the exhilarating Tibet Everest base camp trip with Lhasa highlights.
