This route through the Himalaya traverses five passes over 5000m, taking us across the stark but spectacular Tibetan Plateau, descending down deep gorges to the lush green valleys of Nepal, and through some of the most amazing scenery to be found anywhere in the world. But the road journey is only part of the experience: we begin with a dramatic flight over the Himalaya, and a visit to Samye Monastery, the oldest foundation in Tibet, before driving up the Lhasa Valley to spend three days exploring the Forbidden City. The Potala and many more of Tibet's important temples and monasteries have now been restored, and the fascinating Buddhist culture combined with the warmth and friendliness of the Tibetan people make this an unforgettable journey.
