  Lhasa Trek  
Tibet remains one of the most interesting, remote and undeveloped parts of the world, situated at an average elevation of 5000m (16000 ft) above sea level. Its limited tourist facilities are now approaching a reasonable standard.

Strictly speaking this is not a trek but a driving expedition. A trip to Tibet is not for the faint hearted, the travelling can be hard, adventurous and often unpredictable. The road is often very dusty with the possibility of delays due to snow.

With Tibet's high altitude, travellers with a history of heart, lung or anemia problems should consult a doctor before considering a visit.

This trip offers a spectacular insight into the life and culture of these friendly people - from the ancient monasteries with chanting monks, to the tranquil shores of the Turquoise Lake Yamdrock coupled with the breathtaking Trans-Himalayan flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa.

Itinerary 02

Day 01 : Arrive in Kathmandu (1336m). You will be met by your group leader and transferred to the hotel where the pre-trek briefing will be given. Arrangements are made today for the distribution of your kit bag, sleeping bag and down jacket. Remainder of the afternoon is at your leisure.

Day 02 : Day at leisure in Kathmandu. You have time to explore Kathmandu, Patan, Bhaktapur and the lessor known towns that dot the valley. The area has an amazing range of fascinating highlights, whatever your interest. Excellent bookshops, extensive markets, novelty shops and handicraft shops contrast with fantastic centres of cultural and spiritual significance. Kathmandu has more World heritage sites than any other city in the world. A sightseeing tour is organised for your benefit.

Days 03-13 : Trekking programme as per itinerary above.

Day 14 : Day at leisure in Kathmandu. A recovery day after many kilometres of harduous travelling. This extra day also gives some allowance for any delays experienced during the drive. You may wish to do some sightseeing or shopping but this is essentially a rest day. If you still have the energy an optional Rock-climbing activity can be organised for those who are interested or you can do it tomorrow- an additional cost will be incurred for this option.

Day 15 : Day at leisure in Kathmandu. There are a million things to see in Kathmandu and we recommend you spend this day wandering around the town and exploring the valley on bicycle or by taxi. The old Royal Palace, Durbar Square, Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath (a major Hindu shrine) and the giant Buddhist Stupa at Bodnath are absolute musts. Our staff can help you with arrangements or provide a guide and/or transport should you wish, or you can head off armed with a map and let the day unfold. An optional Rock-climbing activity can be organised for those who are interested - an additional cost will be incurred for this option.

Days 16 : Trip concludes in Kathmandu. After breakfast, arrangements cease unless further arrangements have been made. Those people travelling by aircraft to further destinations will be transferred to the airport and assisted with check-in procedures. Don't forget to have NRp1100 departure tax available for payment at the airport.

The above itinerary and times are a guide only. The itinerary may change at any time due to weather and/or trail conditions or for any other reason deemed necessary by the trek leader. Your Leader will always make the final decision after assessing the situation and consulting with our Nepali crew and the group members. Trekking times are estimated only but have been calculated to give the trekker a comfortable pace throughout the trek.

Challenging Treks:- these treks will involve high altitude activity and the occasional pass-crossing with walks of up to 9 hours per day with altitudes not exceeding 6000 meters. These are physically demanding treks.
