June 2006: Lhasa, Everest and Beyond (June 24th - July 11th)

This more comfortable undertaking is for the young at heart yet camping-averse. We stay in hotels throughout, including on the north face of Everest.

The tour will fly into Tibet, and we will drive to Tsetang for a few days acclimatization to the altitude, visiting the fabulous Yambhu Lagang and Dradruk Temples. After this we spend four days in Lhasa, visiting the Potala AND Jokhang, as well making day trips to nearby power sites, such as Terdrom and Reting.

We then drive to Gyangtse, Shigatse and Everest. On Everest we will meditate in the Guru Rinpoche Cave, drink water from Yeshe Tsogyal's sacred spring, and much much more. Click here for itinerary.
