On
to the Rooftop of the World! Experience a high altitude safari
like none another. Four of the world’s highest mountains
straddle its southern border and the average altitude is 4000
meters. One of the most isolated regions in the world, here is
your chance to visit this amazing and mysterious country. Not
only is it one of the last remaining great wildernesses but it
is also the source of Asia’s great rivers which supply
47% of the world’s population and has the earth’s
highest ecosystem. Visit this land of dramatic landscapes and
magnificent Buddhist temples by flying into Lhasa from Kathmandu
and driving out in Toyota Land Cruisers, crossing the Himalayan
Divide via Mount Everest. We will also have the opportunity to
experience the intersection of Chinese and Buddhist civilizations.
Spending three days in the Mount Everest North Face region from
the Rongbuk Monastery (highest in the world) to Everest Base
Camp and Zhangmu, all with their dramatic views will be another
unique experience.
Lonely Planet says, “For anyone who
travels with their eyes open, a visit to Tibet will be a memorable,
fascinating but sobering
and at times even saddening experience.”
