Overview
Gallery

Venture beyond the horizon on an epic 8-day expedition that bridges two worlds. Starting in the vibrant, green hills of Kathmandu, you will ascend to the stark, spiritual majesty of the Tibetan Plateau. This is more than a tour; it is a pilgrimage to the highest heights of nature and the deepest depths of Buddhist tradition.

Few journeys on earth offer the contrast of this trans-Himalayan route. You will witness the transformation of the landscape from lush Nepalese valleys to the high-altitude deserts of Tibet. At the heart of this adventure lies Mount Everest, viewed from its sheer, unobstructed North Face, and the holy city of Lhasa, where ancient history is written in gold and incense.
