21D Tibet Overland
Plus Everest Advance Base Camp Trek!
We call this the Highest Trek in the World, going to extreme altitude taking you as close to the summit of Everest as any nonclimber can go. You must be fit and tough, we camp in difficult conditions. Even being fit, there is still a chance of altitude sickness affecting you meaning that you may have to return to Everest Base camp and wait until the other trekkers return.
Highlights
- An incredible adventure trek along surreally sculpted Rongbuk Glacier to Camp III at 6340 meter, the advance base camp for the north Col route up Mount Everest
- The world’s highest trek that takes you as close to the summit of Everest as any non-climber can go without using any technical climbing gears and without mountaineering skill
- Awesome glimpse of the striated rock summit of Mt. Everest
- Excellent view of entire Mount Everest from Rongbuk
- Breath-taking display of picturesque mosaic of Tibetan settlements, nomadic herdsmen, ancient monasteries, high mountain passes, wide arid plains and awe-inspiring mountain views
- 05 amazing days in Lhasa visiting Potala Palace, Norbulingkha monastery, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor markets, Drepung Monastery and Tashilumpu in Shigatse.
- High chances to witness many Everest climbers fighting their way to the summit
