Tibet Jeep Tour
Dates - 16 - 29 May 2004 / 30 May - 12 June 2004 / 12 - 25 Sept 2004
Tibet, "the roof of the world" until the 1980's, was restricted for outside visitors. The mystery of Tibet still prevails - relative isolation serves to preserve its spectacular scenery and rich cultural heritage. Lhasa, the capital of Tibet is a truly fascinating city, its streets, temples, monasteries and palaces living repositories of traditional artistic, cultural and religious richness. Tibet's high plateau, snow-covered in winter but supporting vegetation in summer, are overlooked by the highest peaks of the Himalayas and there are fantastic views of mountains and glaciers, including the magnificent Mount Everest from the base camp.
