An unforgettable adventure, halfway between a journey holiday and a trek. Kathmandu, Nepal and Lhasa, Tibet: an incredible voyage to the heart of Tibet with extraordinary views of the great 8000ers: Everest 8884m, Cho Oyu 8201m, and Shisha Pangma 8023m.
A unique occasion to learn about both the Hindu and the Buddhist cultures, to visit the two most symbolic cities of the Himalayas and to enjoy the Nepalese green valleys and the Tibetan deserted highlands.
