The overland journey on the Friendship Highway from Lhasa to Kathmandu leads past ice blue lakes, yak-herding nomads, glaciers and snowy peaks to the winding road descending into Nepal. It's one of the world's finest travel experiences.
The road takes you past Tibet’s key towns and monasteries, over 5,000 metre passes that offer jaw-dropping views over lakes and green valleys below, and the chance to spend the night at the foot of Everest.
