The Classic Tour of Tibet begins in Kathmandu and takes you through the beautiful landscapes of the Central Himalayas, passing through the Tamang tribe country in Rasuwa around Langtang Himal. This tour offers a unique opportunity to experience the rural far villages and towns in the newly opened frontier of Nepal/Tibet-China. You will be greeted by a Tibetan guide and drivers at Kyarong village and towns, before embarking on a week-long journey through the vast Tibetan plateau.
