Tibet has long been known as 'The Roof of the
world'. It lies in the south western part Tibet
Overland Tourof China bordering India, Bhutan,
Sikkim Nepal. The region is full of spectacular
skylines of majestic mountain peaks, breathtaking
canyons, scattered highland lake, rolling pasture & farm
land & pristine forests. The population
of the region consists mostly of Tibetans,
Monbans & Lhobans cultivating for centuries
very unique ethnic traditions & glorious
cultures unseen any where else. This is a land
of enduring enchantment & tantalizing mystery.
For centuries, Tibet has fascinated mankind.
This land beyond the mighty Himalayas on the
highest plateau of the world, was hardly accessible
to the outside world. Nepal Environmental Trekking
offers its various fascinating packages for
the visitors to experience & make the dream
come true.
Within its very short history of tourism
the facilities provided to visitors are still
basic and limited. So we request our clients
not to have high expectations in terms of
facilities in Tibet. However, we will always
put in all our efforts to make the tours
as pleasant as possible. The roads, especially
the highway from Kathmandu can be rough & is
subject to blockade due to land slides & floods & the
high altitude does pose a serious threat
to quite a few people. The average altitude
of the Tibetan plateau is 4000m above the
sea level & that is a lot higher than
most people have been in their lives.
