 Tibet is indeed a very rich and beautiful land, located on the highest plateau on Earth at an average altitude over 4000 meter. It is nowadays the South west frontier of China. Aptly called the Root of the World. Let the age old Tibetan myths & mysteries cast an enchanted spell that holds a visitor in thrill and excitement
The first part of the tour offers fascinating views of the incredible formation of the highest plateau of the world with awesomely beautiful rocks, cascades and canyons slightly hidden in the flying mists amidst the mighty presence of MT XISHAPAGMA (8,212 m) and the 2nd part brings you so close to the Shangrila of Tibet making you feel yourself as being part of a unique culture, a rich tapestry woven with legends, myths, rituals and festivals. The last part takes you over the majestic Himalayas offering you the long cherished breathtaking view of the Himalayan ranges including MT EVEREST (8,848m) by an hour long Trans - Himalayan flight on your way back from LHASA to KATHMANDU . Most interesting , this tour offers a lifetime opportunity to admire and compare the magnificence of the lofty Himalayas from three dimensions - from south, north & sky. Your memories of holiday in TIBET is enriched by the lingering impression of the most lavishly decorated huge monasteries & temples, saffron coloured monks, eversmiling people & their typical lifestyle and above all , the challenging Himalayas.
