Excursions to important Tibetan cities of Shigatse, Gyantse, and Shegar are also included in your itinerary. On reaching the Rongbuk monastery, you get to view the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest. As you leave Zhangmu and cross the Friendship Bridge you enter Nepal. There is a refreshing change in scenery, as verdant greenery replaces the dry and arid Tibetan landscapes. In Kathmandu, you will get to explore the three medieval cities: Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur.
