Tibet 2007 Highlights

We took a 17 day trip with REI adventures to Nepal and Tibet in September, 2007. We flew first to Katmandu then on to Lhasa (on China Air). Then we returned to Katmandu via Land Cruiser through Tibet stopping at monasteries and other sites including Mount Everest base-camp. After Everest, we crested a 17,500 foot pass and descended over the next two days back to Katmandu.
