The “Roof of the World”, Tibet is on the top of most world traveler “must see” lists and, located within Tibet, Mt. Everest is arguably the most famous peak in the Eastern world.
On the “Everest Expedition”, you will travel through Tibet to Mt. Everest on a deeper level than the checklists and popular tourist paths – all to gain a better understanding of the real experiences of the communities in these pristine landscapes. You stop at the oldest palace built for the first king of Tibet, take in the stars while camping in a peaceful valley, dine with a Tibetan doctor who provides basic healthcare to local villagers, and visit the traditional seats of different sects of Tibetan Buddhism, before reaching the pinnacle of our journey: watch the first light rise over the snowcapped towering slopes of Mt. Everest. During the two weeks, you will venture to the remote mountains, grasslands and lakes of Tibet, all the while mindfully engaging with daily Tibetan life, spirituality and living history – emerging from this short escape both rejuvenated and forever changed.
