Traveling overland between Kathmandu and Lhasa is an incredible journey
in which you can see the world's highest mountains, travel on the world's
highest plain, meet nomadic Tibetan pilgrims and walk amidst the burning
butter lamps and chanting monks of Tibet's ancient and legendary Buddhist
Monasteries. This is a wonderful and amazing trip. However if you are
not up for a bit of adventure, or for accommodations and amenities that
may be far from perfect, perhaps this trip is not for you while the
trip to Tibet is not easy it is well worth the effort. Tibet was opened
to tourism in 1985. Before this it avoided influence from the western
world and developed its unique culture and religion independently. The
infrastructure of the tourist industry is still very basic in this remote
country. Please do not expect the standard you are accustomed to in
the west. However every effort will be made under the circumstance to
ensure a smooth and Pleasant trip Tour departure
