On the way to Gyantse, cross the Khamba La Pass (15,728ft/4,794m) with a brief stop to savor the beauty of the Yamdrok Tso Lake and the beautiful Nazin Kang Sang glacier (23,793ft/7,252m). Cross Karo La Pass (16,552ft/5,045m). Enjoy views of huge glaciers tumbling down into the road. In Gyantse, visit the Khumbum Stupa, Phalkot Monastery and Gyantse Dzong.

Day 5: Gyantse to Shigatse (12,795ft/3,900m): 2 hours (B)
In Shigatse, visit the popular Tashilhunpo Monastery founded by Gendun Drup, the First Dalai Lama in 1447. Rest during the remainder of the day for acclimatization and the next day’s long drive.

Day 6: Shigatse to Rongbuk (16,400ft/5,000m) via Sakya: 8 - 9 hours (B)
On the way to Rongbuk visit Sakya Monastery. In Rongbuk, visit the Rongbuk Monastery, which is located at the foot of the mighty Everest and is the highest monastery in the world. While here, we also enjoy the stunning mountainous scenery.

Day 7: Rongbuk to Lhasa with the Everest Base Camp (EBC): 9-10 hours (B)
On the way to EBC enjoy spectacular views of high mountains like Cho Oyu (26,907ft/8,201m), Shishapangma (26,289ft/8,013m) and, of course, the mighty Everest (29,029ft/8,848m) also known as Mt. Chomolongma in the Tibetan side. Complete approximately a 16km round trip around the Everest Base Camp. The base camp itself is dry and barren, but the view of Everest is more than compensating. After spending some quality time at the base of the world’s highest mountain, leave for Lhasa.

Note that on rare occasions due to bad weather or political riots, the local government may close down the road to the Everest base camp for safety reasons and without prior notice.

Day 8: Final Departure
Your guide from Himalayan Glacier will take you to the airport or the train station for your next journey.
