 Kathmandu
and Tibet are names that excite the boldest spirit of adventure in the
hearts of travelers. If you wish to see these legendary places, we have
just the travel options for you. We stay in Kathmandu for three days,
trace the trans-Himalayan trading route by car, and reach the Tibetan
Plateau, and leave you the option of making a stay at Everest Base Camp.
The route from Nepal crosses over a gorge carved out by the Sun Koshi
River, continues across the Tibetan plateau over vast wind-swept pastures
and goes over three mountain passes at 4794, 5045, and 4,380 meters. We
can well picture the yak and people caravans walking these roads 1,400
years ago. The 32-metre Kumbum Stupa with 77 rooms is the pride of Gyantse.
You visit Tibet's capital Lhasa. The magnificent Potala Palace, former
seat of the Dalai Lamas, overlooks the city. Its old life-style revolves
round the Jhokhang Temple and the colorful Bharkor market square. The
temple, built in the seventh century over a holy pond, is one of the most
sacred shrines in Tibet.
We also visit the Drepung Monastery, the largest in Tibet and view a nine-meter
image of the future Buddha. You will enjoy the spectacular flight over
the Himalayas when we head back to Kathmandu.
Those going to Everest Base Camp will be driving to Rongbuk. The trail
will take you to a chorten and you will see the ruins of the Samdrupo
Nunnery. Everest Base Camp is beyond the hills. If you have acclimatized
by the time you reach Everest Base Camp you may go on short excursions.
One option is to climb the moraines of the central Rongbuk Glacier.
