Lhasa Overland

Kathmandu & Lhasa

From Kathmandu you fly across the Himalaya taking in breathtaking views of towering peaks all the way. From here you'll visit Tsedang and cross the river to Samye Monastery. In Lhasa discover the famous Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple - the religious centre of Tibetan Buddhism, encircled by holy Barkhor Square - Tibet's largest bazaar.

Across the Tibetan Plateau

Your spectacular journey back to Nepal includes a stop at Gyantse to see the frescoes of Kumbum Stupa, while at Shigatse you visit the impressive Tashilhunpo Monastery. South of Shegar lies Rongbuk Monastery. There are stunning views of Everest's north face from here and the chance to reach base camp itself by horse drawn cart. Finally in Kathmandu you can reflect on your adventure and explore the bazaars and temples of this fascinating medieval city.

To Everest by 4WD

You'll journey by 4WD to the very heart of the Himalaya, to Everest Base Camp. The views of this mythical mountain that in Nepal is called 'Sagarmatha' meaning 'goddess of the sky' and in Tibet 'Qomolangma' meaning 'mother goddess of the universe', are truly inspirational.
