22D Tibet - Lhasa, Mt. Kailash & Guge Kingdom!
2006 Dates: Apr 27 • May 27 (Saga Dawa departure with 2 extra days) • Jun 24 • Jul 27 • Aug 02
An exploratory journey across ‘the roof of the world’, which allows you to admire picturesque Lhasa, legendary monasteries and fortress of Gyantse and Shigatse on a 4WD Land Cruiser escorted by a team of local high altitude camping crew and expert local Tibetan & Nepali guides.
A thorough exploration of ruins of ancient mystical Guge Kingdom in the remotest western Tibet, an arduous trek around Mt. Kailash crossing Drolma La at 5630m, encounters with Tibetan nomads and the views of snowy peaks are the major components of the trip.
On this trip, we fly from Kathmandu to Lhasa and spend 3 days visiting the wonderful sights of this fascinating city. Leaving Lhasa we further explore the ancient towns of Gyantse and Shigatse. Driving along the northen highway through the hypnotic landcape of the Tibetan Plateau brings us to the ruins of Guge. After a thorough visit of Guge Kingdom (Toling and Tsaparang) we continue our journey to Lake Manasarovar and Mt. Kailash where we complete a three day kora (trek) around this beautiful mountain. We then drive across the vast Tibetan plateau before heading south to the Nepalese border and returning to Kathmandu.
