The
drive from Kathmandu to Lhasa is considered one of the most
spectacular journeys in all the world. Along the way you will
discover the colorful and vibrant people of Tibet, the clear
waters of turquoise lakes, visit monasteries and monks, wander
amongst yak herds & view the mighty Himalayas from the
highest plateau in the world. Since there is flight schedule
for winter (between Nov. to March) the drive in and out is
the only way. Of course you can go mainland china as well
once 7 days overland trip finished. It is always possible
to stay a few extra days your own in Tibet. We will support
you the way we can. Keep having all the updated information
since the visa policies keep changing as peak seasons enter
in to Tibet. |
