Trip Details
Standing at 8844.43 meters above sea level, Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world, and also the main peak of Himalayas. The summit is situated on the border between China and Nepal, and its south side belongs to Nepal, while the north side belongs to Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The shape of the mountain is just like a huge pyramid, which is the most fascinating destination for tourists all over the world. Moreover, traveling at the foot of Mount Everest symbolizes the limit of self-challenge as Mount Everest enjoys the reputation of the roof of the world with more than 40 high peaks in 7000 meters above sea level nearby.
This is the classic Expedition on Kathmandu to Mt. Everest Base Camp, In Nepal, as it covers most of Tibet's main historical sites, offers superb natural scenery of the great Himalayan range and features a spectacular roller-coaster ride down into the Kathmandu valley. Triumph Expeditions will allow you to experience an exotic culture and spectacular nature.
From Kathmandu, the road is very different from that of the route from Lhasa, and while the route is a lot shorter, it can take just as long, or longer, to make the journey across the border to EBC. In total, the distance from Kathmandu to EBC by road, traveling through the new border crossing at Gyirong Port, is around 504 kilometers (313 miles).
From Kathmandu to the border crossing on the Nepali side, at Rasuwa Gadhi, the route is one that takes around six to eight hours to cover the short 149-kilometers distance. The roads are good from the Nepali capital to around Bidur, along the Pasang Lhamu Highway, but from there the roads get narrower and less well kept, eventually turning to just gravel or dirt roads long before you reach the border. However, on the other side of the border, it is a different matter. From Gyirong Port into the Tibetan interior, the roads are good and are all well paved.
As an important highway connecting Tibet and Nepal, Friendship Highway (G318) plays an instrumental role in two country’s tourism. This itinerary covers Lhasa, the political, cultural and economic center of Tibet; Tsetang, the "cradle of Tibetan civilization"; Shigatse, the political, cultural and economic center of Shigatse area; Mt.
