Everest
Base Camp - Tibet (26days)
|
 A
wonderful introduction to the splendour of the range
of classic Himalayan culture, people and landscape.
Driving through the Tibetan plateau you see the
lushness of the foothills as well as the austerity of
the high altitude desert. On the drive from Kathmandu
to Lhasa you will be struck by the unremitting desert
where vast open skies frame dramatic massifs of ice
and stone against brown shot through with occasional
green barley and blue water. There are temples and
palace squares with art rich and varied beyond all
imagination, and monasteries where the air, redolent
with the odours of butter lamps and juniper incense,
carries through the wind centuries of tradition. The
fluttering prayer flags everywhere are the most
obvious expression of the spirituality and faith that
permeates every aspect of the lives of Tibetan
Buddhists. In Nepal, the cosmopolitan history of the
Newars of Kathmandu Valley comes alive in the
sophisticated palace squares.
The views of 8,000 m peaks like Everest, Xixapangma,
and Cho Oyu reinforce the awe-inspiring powers of the
natural world. The trek to the Everest Base Camp on
the Tibetan side is possibly the highest trek in the
world. Reaching an altitude of over 6,000 m - and not
crossing a high pass, but rather walking consistently
high - is here not nerely as arduous or strenuous it
is anywhere else.
