Shishapangma (8046 m) is the hidden jewel of Tibet and lies west of Everest , behind the Langtang range.The five day trek to Shishapangma basecamp is easier than other treks in Tibet as it does not require crossing any high passes. Yet it is as great as any trek in Tibet or even better.Though in rain shadow zone , the monsoon cloud manages to push over the Jugal Himal, bringing some rain most nights from June until early September in this region. Due to the same moonsoon the alpine floors here have nourishing lush meadows and an outstanding display of wildflowers during the summer.

After the trek we head for Lhasa . En route we visit the Tashilhunpo monastery in Shigatse and the Gyantse fort / Kumbum monastery in Gyantse.The overland tour to Lhasa is enriched by numerous encounter with yak and sheep herders, the serene blue lakes and the fascinating beauty of the Tibetan plateau.Crossing many high passes along the way and enjoying the superb views from these passes we reach lhasa . Two days of guided tour takes us to all the important sites in Lhasa .We conclude our trip with a sensational flight acrross the Himalaya to Kathmandu.
