Description.
 Start
your journey to Tibet with a spectacular flight over the snow
capped Himalayan mountains past Mt. Everest, Makalu and Kanchanjunga.
In Lhasa visit the famous Potala and Norbulinkha palaces,
the great Drepung Monastery, Jokhang temple, and walk amongst
the crowded Tibetan market - the bustling Barkor Bazaar. Drive
past the beautiful Turquoise lake on the way to the historic
town of Gyantse with its unique multi-storied Kumbun Stupa.
Our itinerary also includes the famous but rarely visited
Shalu and Sakya Monasteries. After visiting the Tahilungpo
at Shiatse we start our drive over the Himalayas by way of
the incredible Arniko Highway that connects Kathmandu with
Lhasa. Enjoy fabulous Himalayan mountain scenery again - this
time from ground level !! Once over the high passes flanked
by a range of Himalayan giants we enter towards Nepal. At
the town of Zangmu on the Tibet-Nepal border we bid farewell
to our Tibet friends and drive through the terraced countryside
of Nepal to end our journey in Kathmandu. An unforgettable
encounter with forbidden Tibet.
