Itinerary In Detail

Days 01 : Drive Kathmandu - Nyalam (3780 m)
Early in the morning drive to Nyalam.

Days 02 : Rest day in Nyalam
Today we spend a rest day in Nyalam in order to acclimatize before heading up higher. A short way out of town there is a small temple, Nyalam Pelgye Ling, which is associated with the eleventh- and twelfth-century poet lama Milarepa.

Days 03 : Trek to Draabochhan (4110 m)
On the first day of trekking tour we head towards Draabochhan along Tshongde Phu river valley. We trek around this valley and rest in the camp.

Days 04 : Trek to Shingdip (4560 m)
Today we start by climbing to the top of a ridge. From the summit we walk to the ridge along some nice hills that are covered in dwarf rhododendrons. We end the trekking in Shingdip, a beautiful meadow camp with a large boulder near the junction of converging moraine valleys.

Days 05 : Trek to base camp (4980m)
From Shingdip we take a cross-country route west towards the Base Camp. We reach the base camp by a little glacial lake after a two-hour walk. Shisapanga is out of view from base camp, so we head towards the high base camp. There are magnificent views of Shisapanga on a boulder-plateau above base camp.

Days 06 : Trek to Draabochhan (4110m)
Today we walk all the way down to Draabochhan, a trek that offers outstanding views of Jugal Himal. We walk through the beautiful alpine meadows and the dwarf rhododendrons on the hills. After a long descent we once again use the herders' camp in Draabochhan.

Days 07 : Trek to Nyalam (3780 m)
Today we reach lower and more fertile ground in the Tshongde Phu river valley just before we head back to Nyalam.

Days 08 : Trek to Herder's Camp
Today's drive takes us from the lush, green lower hills into the dry and arid landscape of the Tibetan Plateau. We cross several high passes including the Lalung La [5,050m], which, offers the most breathtaking panorama of the Himalayan range including Mt Everest - a fitting backdrop to the vastness of the Tibetan Plateau.

Days 09 : Drive to Shigatse (3900m)
Continuing along the Friendship Highway, we pass lonely monasteries and the camps of nomadic herders. We then cross the highest pass of our journey, the Gyamtso La [5,220m] before descending once more to the barren splendour of the plains. Tonight we stay in Shigatse, the second largest city in Tibet.

Days 10 : Drive to Gyantse (3950m)
This morning we will visit the Tashilhunpo Monastery, one of the largest functioning monasteries in Tibet, before setting off on the relatively short drive to Gyantse. Once in Gyantse we can explore the Pelkor Chode Monastery and the Gyantse Kumbum. The Kumbum is a large gold-domed stupa and its many chapels house an impressive array of Tibetan Buddhist murals.

Days 11 : Drive to Lhasa (3650m)
This spectacular drive takes us over the Karo La [5,045m] for the awesome sight of a huge glacier tumbling down. Beyond the small, developing town of Nagartse the road follows the bank of a beautiful turquoise lake, the Yamdrok-tso. We then cross the Khamba La [4,794m.] and continue on to Lhasa.

Days 12 : In Lhasa (3650m)
