Visit Everest Base Camp, Tibet
Mount Everest Base Camp allows you unobstructed views of the world’s highest mountain, Everest, as it rises majestically into the cold blue sky.
From Shigatse the road returns to Lhasa or continues west, overland to Kathmandu in Nepal. The latter is a two- or three-day trip following rough but spectacular roads through the soaring Himalayas.
Cross high passes above the snowline, stopping for the night at a basic guesthouse in the small town of Tingre. On the following day’s drive to Nepal you will encounter more stunning scenery, with snow-capped mountains shimmering on every side.
Dropping down into the lush Kathmandu Valley, you then head for the twisting streets of the legendary Nepalese capital. A short detour from this route brings you to Mount Everest Base Camp, allowing unobstructed views of the world’s highest mountain as it rises majestically into the cold blue sky.
