Overview

Trip Introduction:
Locally known as "Qomolungma" in Tibet, the locales consider the Everest a holy mountain. Touring North Everest base camp (5,150m/16,900ft) from the Tibetan side is equally challenging. Located in the remote southern region of Tibet, the northern base camp is trekked lesser than its southern counterpart in Nepal. The desolated landscape, its Buddhist monasteries and Tibetan architectures gives an exotic cultural flavor to the tour, making it culturally significant.
Tibet emerged from centuries of isolation. With the turn of 20th century, Chinese occupation in the region allowed entry for outsiders, however, the strict policies regulated by Chinese Government still make the region inaccessible most of the time.
The tour starts from the colorful city of Lhasa "The Forbidden City", and the next stop being Everest base camp. Crossing through traditional Tibetan villages, the people here offer greater level of hospitality to the trekkers. It also includes exploring the city of Lhasa, observing the Tibetan culture and mingling with the locales.
