Journey Through Tibet
This classic route links two of Asia’s most exotic cities as we journey from Beijing to Kathmandu. At bustling Beijing we visit the Great Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square before heading out west to the Tibetan grasslands, where we visit Tibetan monasteries set amongst surrounding mountains in Xiahe and Langmusi. We follow a path south to Songpan and view giant pandas in Chengdu. We then fly to Lhasa, fabled capital of Tibet, and travel from the austere and beautiful high Tibetan Plateau to the lush hill country and farming terraces of Nepal. This magnificent journey takes us within sight of towering peaks such as Mt Everest and crosses five passes over 5000 metres above sea level. The road from Lhasa is rugged and demanding, but it’s an adventure in itself as we pass through farming villages, nomad camps, ancient towns and visit monasteries with rich religious heritage. This is sure to be a journey of a lifetime.
