World's Highest Four Wheel Drive Safari
Through Remote High Passes.
'an adventure with comfort'
Tibet, with its vast landscapes from the verdant forest to the arid dry
landscapes, huddled in the rain shadow behind the mass range of the northern
Himalaya, certainly makes this land as mysterious as it was for centuries and it
still retains the feel of the medieval period and a tinge of Shangri-la which is
located with pride at an average altitude of over 3000 meter. Our newest
approach on this roof of the world on a four wheel drive is probably the first
of its kind of driving safari on the high terrain in
the comfort of the Land cruiser and Jeeps. This automobile adventure has added a
new dimension in the world of adventure. Truly, it can be described as the
journey of a life time, with exciting adventure enroute, crossing passes of over
5000meter, viewing stunning picturesque scenery of the
landscape and breathe taking views of range of snow capped mountains from Mt.
Everest, Cho-Oyu, Shisa-pangma to over 6000 metere peaks. As our Four Wheelers
driving through the middle of Tibetan plateau, we get to go through rural
villages meeting people and visiting monasteries and chortens.
Our adventure begins with a sweeping flight to Lhasa over the mighty
Himalayan range In Lhasa, we will have ample time to immerse with the local
cultureand for acclimatisation before we venture on the long scenic Four Wheel
Safari drive. The city of Lhasa is a mixture of old and new, the new
Lhasa is a modern town, having a network of streets, apartments, hotels and
stores. The old city of Lhasa dates back to 6-7th centuary is round the Jorkhang
temple, from here one can still see Lhasa of the old days with pilgrims,
traders, people from all walks of life. In Lhasa, we will be visiting
interesting places from the busy markets of Barkhor, monasteries,and the famed
ever present Potala Palace. Our adventure truly begins after Lhasa crossing high
passes enroute Kharte and back to the border at Zhangmu.
This is certainly a mesmerizing trip passing through traditional Tibetan
villages and nomads camps with constant view of the nearby snow capped peaks. As
we head from the Pangla pass of 5,200m towards the Kharte and Everest Basecamp
the drive offers a great panorama of the highest
peaks of the world. The drive follows interesting rural life of the Tibetans as
it was for centuries taking you to middle age. Most of the houses and villages
are still untouched by modern civilization except for some few tractors and
radios. Our journey through the Tibetan plateau is very rewarding and give you
such an experience that you have never dreamt before. We finally end this
thrilling adventure in Kathmandu bringing back to civilization. Itinerary:
