About This Tour

An overland journey along the Sino-Nepal highway — Lhasa's monasteries and Everest Base Camp on the Tibetan side, continuing into Kathmandu, Chitwan, Lumbini and Pokhara. Six nights are in Tibet, China (Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse, Everest Base Camp, and the border town of Gyirong), before the route crosses the China-Nepal border at Gyirong into Nepal for the remaining eight nights (Kathmandu, Chitwan, Lumbini, Pokhara, Bhaktapur). Every night's hotel is confirmed in whichever country you're actually in that day.
