So I’ve been working on this for a few months now and I’m absolutely stoked to announce it today.
The overland route connecting Lhasa, Tibet with Kathmandu, Nepal is one of the most beautiful and and amazing land routes in all of Asia. Covering a distance of 600 miles, this workshop will take us from the modern Tibetan capital of Lhasa to pristine high altitude lakes, winding ancient rivers, beautiful farming valleys, Everest Base Camp and over the Himalaya Mountain passes to Kathmandu. We will be visiting the most famous monasteries and temples in all of Tibet and will spend 15 days in the unique Himalayan culture. Join us on the Roof of the World to get up close and personal with Himalayan culture and the adventure of a lifetime!
I get to hang out with my good friend Matt Brandon for 15 days travelling from Lhasa to Mount Everest and then finally to Kathmandu over some truly amazing terrain and through some of my favorite cultural spots in the entire world. This will be my 3rd time through this area, but my first time to cross over into Nepal and enjoy Kathmandu. Of all the trips we’ve been able to announce in the last 2 years, this is truly the trip that I’m the most excited about. I’d love for you to join us on the Lhasa to Kathmandu overland tour – I’m serious when I say it will rock your world.
Furthermore, our awesome sponsors, Think Tank Photo and BlackRapid camera straps will be throwing in some pretty cool stuff and we are excited to be partnering with them on this trip. They are such amazing companies – more on there participation in the coming days!
To get an idea of what we will be doing, I suggest you check out Matt’s site(and here) as well as our Plateau Photo Tours workshop site(more info here soon) to get a full details on this trip. Also in the coming days my travel partner and I will be covering why we chose this route for our first Plateau Photo Tours trek of 2011.
Also, I’ll be posting here some of the pictures and some cultural points from this area over the next weeks.
