Himalayan, Tibetan and Chinese Explorer

Heading out of Kathmandu en route for Tibet, on this challenging trip you'll see why the region is known as the 'Roof of the World'. We thread our way through the Himalayas, over mountain passes 5000m high, stopping at monasteries along the way. After arriving in Lhasa we have time to explore this most magical of cities before setting out on a superb overland route, across the Tibetan Plateau bound for Golmud. We continue on to Qinghai Lake and the giant Buddha at Bingling Si, before ending our journey at a comfortable hotel in Xi'an, home of the Terracotta Warriors.
