After touring the ancient palaces, Hindu temple and Buddhist Stupas of Kathmandu valley, we take scenic flight to Lhasa over the Everest and excellent Tibetan landscape. This is probably the best flight to see the Himalaya and Lakes of Tibet. We will then explore great palaces, monasteries and temples in Tibet before driving to Gyanden. After visiting Ganden Monastery we start our 4 days trek over the Tibetan mountains to Samye, the first and holiest monastery of Tibet . The trek through highland yak pastures and over Shugu La pass (5200m/17000ft) takes us to a sacred mountain where many great Buddhist saints and teachers meditated, including Guru Padmasambhava, the founder of Tibetan Buddhism.

After visiting Sayme we drive through central Tibet via Yamdrok Tso (Turquoise lake), to the historical towns of Gyantse and Shigatse and further by 4-WD jeeps to the famous Rongbu Monastery and day-hike to North Everest Base camp from where the views of the North Face of Mt. Everest is awesome. After exploring North Everest Base Camp and surrounding area we will follow the 2-day drive over the beautiful Tibetan landscape and get to Kathmandu

The breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks as well as the views of Tibetan countryside will make the journey an unforgettable one. Witness Buddhist prayer ceremonies, visit the homes of local Tibetans and observe religious customs to help understand the Tibetan religion and life.
