Trip Introduction

Tibet is the world’s highest country, with an average elevation of 4,380 meters in the Himalayas and Mount Everest as its highest peak. Tibet is a Chinese autonomous territory located on the high Tibetan plateau on the northern side of the Himalayas. Because of its towering peaks, it is regarded as the “Roof of the World.” Lhasa is the capital of Tibet.   This Lhasa to EBC tour visits Lhasa, Gyantse, Shingatse, and Rongbuk, which are all attractive and ancient towns. We will see the most famous landmarks in Tibet, such as the Potala Palace and the Norbulingka Palace, as well as traditional Tibetan sites. We’ll also see the stunning peacock blue-colored Yamdrok lake, which we’ll cross numerous passes to get to.

The journey from Lhasa to Everest base camp region will take you from the modern Tibetan capital of Lhasa to pristine high-altitude lakes, rivers, glaciers, farming valleys, and through the Himalayas to the Everest base camp region at Rongphu monastery at roughly 5100 meters/ 17000 feet. Some of the remarkable Tibetan monasteries we will pass through are Sera, Drepung, Jokhang Temple, Khumbu Stupa, Tashi Lumpha, and others.

Everest Base Camp is the first base camp of Mount Everest, which opened in the 1920s and is located in the southwest of Tibet. Every year, thousands of tourists travel to Tibet in the hopes of catching a sight of Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak.
