Tibet, for having an average altitude in excess of 3500m, lying to the north of the great Himalayan range which separates it from its neighbours India, Nepal and Bhutan, much of the country is high-altitude desert. With its spectacular mountain scenery and rich Buddhist culture, Tibet is a remarkable place to visit.
Tibet's Everest Advanced Base Camp Trek is one of the world's greatest journeys that combines Tibetan awesome culture with the highest trekking route on earth, so close to the summit of Mt. Everest that can be reached with out the need for crampons, ice axes or any mountaineering skills. This Everest Advance Base Camp trip takes you to the highest point on Everest than a non climber can go, all the way to camp 3 at 6340m, known as Everest Advanced Base Camp.
