The highlight of the trip is a visit to Rongbuk Monastery & the Everest Base Camp from where the view of Everest is the most spectacular of all. During the Lhasa and Everest Tour, visitors will mostly explore the Capital city of Lhasa, full of ornate, marvelous monasteries and monuments. There in Lhasa, you will visit the majestic Potala Palace, which is famous worldwide for its great architecture and historical importance. Besides the grand Potala Palace, you will also come across the popular Drepung Monastery, Barkhor Market Area, the city area of Gyantse, Tashilhump Monastery, and many important other places and monuments. Constructed back in the 17th century, Potala Palace is an amazing human creation, drawing hundreds of thousands of tourists every year.

After we are finished, we have the opportunity to either walk or drive from Rongbuk to Everest Base Camp, a dream for many people around the world.
