Tibet Everest Base Camp Tour
Drive to the foot of Everest's dramatic north face and the world's highest monastery at Rongbuk.
The journey
What makes it unforgettable.
For many, the Tibet side of Everest is the more spectacular — you drive almost to its foot and stand before the sheer, unbroken north face rising more than 3,000 m above you.
The journey crosses the plateau via Shigatse and Tingri, over high prayer-flag passes, to Rongbuk monastery and the base-camp viewpoint. Sunset and sunrise on the face, and the night sky at altitude, are unforgettable.
It's a comfortable overland tour — no trekking required to reach the viewpoint — with acclimatisation built in and all Tibet logistics handled.
