Trip Overview |
For those short on time but long on desire to maximize their experience in Tibet, this Everest Trek is the perfect trip. It offers a rather comprehensive overview of Tibet's landscape, culture and people. This trip, though similar to our Everest Base Camp tour, differs in its emphasis on trekking in the Everest base camp region. Drive along the magnificent Lhasa-Kathmandu road covering Tibet’s "must-sees" places to fabled Rongbuk Monastery, set exquisitely beneath Everest’s North Face. Begin three day trek to Tingri and spiral down to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, from where you can extend your trip or return home. The trek is not terribly strenuous, as we will cross only one relatively small and manageable pass on our way. In fact, were it not for the high altitude and thinner air, the occasional nomad camp by the side of the trail, and the huge north face of Everest looming over us, we might momentarily forget where we are and think that we're out for a day hike in the Sierras.
We will set up our tents each night amid stunning scenery, often with nomads as our next-door neighbors. With the exception of the participants' s personal day packs, all of our gear will be transported by yak. As in any physical endeavor, fitness is the most essential ingredient for success. That said, no previous Himalayan trekking experience is needed to take part in our Tibetan trips. In general, a love of mountains and hiking is all that is required. One should be physically fit, meaning that one should be capable of walking a full day with a day pack.. |
