Adventure Trekking in Tibet
Start/End
KathmanduTrip Overview
Tibet Adventure – Three Base Camp Trek take you to the Base Camps of mount Everest (8’848m), Cho Oyo (8’201m), and Shishapangma (8’013m). Our adventure begins with a flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa, where we spend several days sight seeing and acclimatising before driving West to start our trek to the Base Camps. Along the way we will stop and visit several active monasteries.The actual trek starts from Sghigatse to Cho Oyo Base Camp followed by trek east towards the world’s most famous Everest Base Camps which is situated in the Rongbuk Valley. From the Rongbuk monastery, there are numerous day hikes that can take us well above the valley floor for excellent views of Everest’s North Face. Due to our close contact with the monks at the Rongbuk monastery, we will spend time discovering some of the mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism, partaking in a puja, or religious ceremony and enjoying a meal with one of the world’s most majestic views as a backdrop. Finally our trip ends back in Kathmandu by via Tibet/Nepal border crossing Kodari.
