A mountain-chain over 8000 meters formed the natural frontier between China and Nepal, but this can not prevent the culture exchange and trade between the two countries. Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse, Yarlung Zangpo River and its regions are considered as the famous center of the Tibetan culture. Many art- handworks impressed just like the wonderful nature land scenery. The over-land travel to Kathmandu with the dramatic background of Himalaya–mountains provides the adventures. It will be your unforgettable tour.
