Tibet one of those extraordinary destination where indeed adventure lurks around every corner! Adventure on the road is never short on the beautiful Trans Himalayan drive, through mountain, passes, promising a panorama of a cultural and scenic diversity unsurpassable anywhere. It culminates on an arid plateau - a varitable treasure trove of architectural masterpieces - the Buddhist monasteries of Drepung, once the largest in the country The Jhokhang - a spiritual center, and the awesome palaces of the Dalai Lama - Norbulinka (the summer palace) and the Potala (the traditional seat). Ancient Barkhor Bazaar still barters the brick - a - brac, in a region that’s not so much a little strange as utterly surreal.

The tourist corridor between Zhangmu on the Nepalese border and Lhasa is relatively well trodden these days, although by no means overcrowded, and offers side trips to the Everest Base Camp.
