Lhasa - Everest Base Camp - Zhangmu Program
Fly from Kathmandu to Lhasa, caps off this trip of superlatives with a birds eye view of Everest, across the vast Tibetan Plateau, awakes a yearning to further explore this stark landscape to holy lakes, hidden caves, clustered mud-houses villages, and wildlife inhabited pasturelands. You’ll spend two days in Lhasa (3,650m / 12,000ft) touring the Potala Palace, home of the Dalai Lama, the Buddhist monasteries.
The 1,000 km drive crosses several passes upward of 5,000m / 16,404 ft in route Lhasa to Kathamndu, with overnights and sightseeing of Shegar, Shigatse, Gyantse, Thingri and Roingbuk where the trek route leaves the road and crosses the grassy hills to Base camp. You’ll camp near the Rongbuk Glacier in full view of Qomolangma, and visit the highest monastery in the world.
Qomolangma (Mount Everest) known as the “Mother of the Universe,” was revered by the Tibetans for its superiority long before modern measurements were made. It is visible in all of its glory from the northern vantage, guarded by the highest monastery in the world, Rongbuk.
