This trip is a once in a lifetime experience - a chance to surround yourself in the ancient cultures of Tibet and ride through its stunning landscapes on your road bike. Tibet has for centuries evoked images of a lost Shangri La. To this day, it's stunning Himalayan views, high plateau, beautiful Buddhist monasteries and extraordinary people combine to make Tibet one of the world's great travel experiences.The cycling highlight will be the worlds longest descent along the winding roads off the Tibetan Plateau and through dramatically changing landscapes into lush Nepal. With an elevation drop of 4600m this awesome descent alone will provide ample material for post ride coffee conversations for years to come.Another highlight will undoubtedly be a visit to Mount Everest base camp to witness first hand the towering beauty of the worlds highest peak.The journey will be long and the challenge won't be easy but for those who join us on this adventure a sense of achievement is guaranteed.
