Everest Base Camp and Lhasa Tour (10 Days)
This 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 pare of the trip will be the Mt.
Everest 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 tall its sides, is unforgettable.
