Tibet Trail
This is one of the most popular treks in Tibet . This journey allows you to view wonderful scenery. The vast plateau and endless mountains are more beautiful than you can imagine and the journey is punctuated by visits to major towns and monasteries, not to mention the two highlights - Everest Base Camp North and Lhasa . This trek leads you to some of the best viewpoints of Tibet and though this route is one of the longest it is infact the best too.
