Tour Overview
Lhakpa Ri offers a chance to conquer a 7000m peak, which although strenuous, requires little technical climbing and is the next step for anyone who has already tackled Mera Peak or Island Peak. Whilst we acclimatise we take the opportunity to explore Lhasa and the surrounding areas, including the incredible Potala Palace. After a visit to Rongbuk and Everest Base Camp (Tibetan side) we begin our trek and slowly make our way along the Mallory Highway and prepare for the final push. This trek is certainly not for the novice but if you have trekked at high altitude previously and have good lungs and plenty of willpower then you won't be disappointed.Please read our News item concerning China visa application changes
