Overview:
Drive to Everest Base Camp and see the mighty North Face from Rongbuk monastery. Take in all the sights and sounds of Lhasa, Shigatse and Gyantse - this tour has it all!

Introduction:
We fly to Lhasa the cultural, spiritual and historic capital of Tibet dominated by the massive Potala Palace, once the Dalai Lama’s seat of government. We then have three days to explore this great city; the Jokhang temple, the Barkor market, Norbulingka, Chakpori (Iron Hill), and the nearby beautiful monasteries of Sera and Drepung. As time is limited we will also try to get to the Tibet National Museum and sample some uniquely Tibetan nightlife! Then on to Shigatse to visit the Tashilhumpo, the seat of the Panchen Lama and the dramatic Shigatse Dzong (fort) ruins that offer great views over the city. We then head on to Gyantse which is one of the most authentic towns in Tibet and the Palkhor Monastery which contains the superb Kumbum (10,000 images) stupa and is a deeply spiritual place. Towering above the city, the Gyantse dzong (fort) stands sentinel over the town and offers excellent views. Our tour continues with the incredible drive along the Friendship Highway across the Tibetan Plateau to Everest Base Camp and Rongbuk monastery for some amazing views of the mammoth North Face before finally heading back to Nepal.
