Highlights of the Trek |
|
Description :
Tibet remains one of the most
interesting, remote and undeveloped
parts of the world, situated at an
average elevation of 5000m (16000 ft)
above sea level. Its limited tourist
facilities are now approaching a
reasonable standard.
A trip to Tibet is not for the faint
hearted, the travelling can be hard,
adventurous and often unpredictable.
Due to Tibet's high altitude, travellers
with a history of heart, lung or anemia
problems should consult a doctor before
considering a visit.
The most popular tour is this 8 day
package where clients overland in from
Nepal and fly back from Lhasa. It offers
a spectacular insight into the life and
culture of these friendly people. From
the ancient monasteries with chanting
monks, to the tranquil shores of the
Turquoise Lake Yamdrock, this trip has
all, concluding with the breathtaking
Trans-Himalayan flight from Lhasa to
Kathmandu.
Grade :
Moderate
You will be walking five to eight hours
per day at altitudes not exceeding 4,500
meters with steep ascents and descents.
Preparation will be much the same as for
the introductory trek but should include
more steep ascents and descents if
possible. Using the stairs instead of
the lift is a good way to prepare for
these treks as is cycling and swimming.
