This
tour consists of two parts. The first leg of the trip begins
with excursion in Lhasa visiting the Potala palace, Jokhang,
Sera and Drepung Monasteries. After Lhasa we drive to Tingri
via Gyantse, Shigatse and Sakya, visiting all the popular
monasteries along the way. The second pare of the trip will
be the Mt. Everest Base Camp Trek from Tingri on the friendship
Highway; it is relatively easy to access. The walk is not
particularly strenuous- only one low pass must be crossed.
Near the Base Camp is the reconstructed monastery of Rongbuk,
once one of the largest monastic complexes in the region.
The view from here of the Everest North face, perhaps is the
most dramatic of tall its sides, is unforgettable. |
