Fly over the Himalayas to lively Lhasa and absorb the spiritual vibe while acclimatising to the altitude.

Embark on a steep climb to Kamba La and marvel at the turquoise waters of Yamdrok Lake over lunch.

Ride across plains against a backdrop of mountains. Relish in a day out of the saddle in Shigatse - perhaps wander through Tashihunpo Monastery.

Traverse the Shigatse plains before ascending to Tra La and Tsuo La. Enjoy a fast descent down to Lhatse.

Travel up Gyatso La, the highest pass on the Friendship Highway - the sight of Everest looming in the distance is bound to impress.

Ascend Pang La then head off-road - down twists and turns - into Rongbuk Valley to spend the night in Toshi Zom.

Catch a glimpse of Everest from Rongbuk Monastery and discover its intricate interior. Ascend to Base Camp and be humbled by the incredible 360-degree views of the Himalayas.

Cycle off-road over Nam La and on to Tingri, a small town overlooking sweeping plains with distant views of Everest.

Conquer Tibet’s last pass, Shung La, before the epic downhill journey to Nyalam.

Cross the famous Friendship Bridge at Kodari on the way back into Nepal.

Enjoy Kathmandu Valley’s postcard scenery and explore World Heritage-listed Bhaktapur. Toast the completion of this incredible Lhasa to Kathmandu ride over a celebratory dinner of Nepalese cuisine.
