Overland Lhasa to Kathmandu with Everest Base Camp option | 13 days

This journey begins with a magnificent flight across the great Himalayan range to Lhasa, where you spend three full days sightseeing and acclimatising before heading across the vast Tibetan plateau along some of the highest, wildest roads in the world towards Gyantse, with its old fort and massive Palkhor Monastery. The drive across the central Tibetan plateau to the grassy meadowlands of the Tingri Plain yields stunning views of Everest, Cho Oyo, Lhotse and Makalu.

For those with a yearning to see Everest at close quarters, we highly recommend an extension of two to four days by jeep or on foot to Rongbuk, and finally to Everest Base Camp (northside) at 5,200m, which affords spectacular views.
