Nepal - Tibet Tour ( नेपाल - तिब्बत यात्रा ) [09:27]
Kathmandu has often been by some as a flawless jewel in a unique setting. No other place in the world has the concentration of culture, art and tradition that exists in the Kathmandu valley (1300m.). Kathmandu is the crossroads for the many ethnic groups of Nepal and for visitors from all over the world every year. Nestled in the central hills of Nepal, Kathmandu is at once medieval and modern. The Kathmandu valley sprawls at the junction of two sacred rivers, Bagmati and Bishnumati. Just cross the Bagmati River to the south is Patan, on ancient city of temples, while Bhadgoon with its thousands of homes and temples shrines lies six miles to the east. More then two hundred years ago these three cities housed the Royal places of three different kingdoms that divided the valley palaces surviving today. Welcome to TIBET - a land so rich in culture tradition and steeped in religion along the far flung unique landscape, aptly called the Roof of the World. Let the age old Tibetan mysteries cast an enchanted spell that holds a visitor in thrill and excitement. The first part of the Tibet tour offers fascinating views of the incredible formation of the highest plateau of the world with awesomely beautiful rocks, cascades and canyons slightly hidden in the thin flying mists amidst the mighty presence of Mt. Everest (8848m), Shishapagma (8035m) and the 2nd part of Tibet Tour brings you so close to the Shangri-La of TIBET making you feel yourself as being part of a unique culture, a ...

Episode 162: Lazarus of Lhasa [35:46]
Welcome Back To The Land Of The Living! After lunch we headed back on the road for the last bit of driving towards our first campsite. The trekking portion of this trip is almost here!!! The Land Cruisers have been comfortable for the overland traveling towards Everest, but my feet are itching for some good hiking. We make a quick pit stop for some "bio breaks" this afternoon and as we walked back to our vehicles we noticed that there was an extra Land Cruiser parked amongst our caravan. As I was scratching my head, Lobsang walked over to me, pointed and simply said, "Damion!" I followed the direction of his outstretched arm and saw Damion standing against a wall, camera in hand, and though he was wearing a bandanna on his face I could sense that he didn't appear sick anymore. The team descended upon Damion and there was a joyful flurry of handshakes and hugs. We had all been so worried and concerned about him and now he was here and in great spirits. The reunion was short lived as we piled back into the vehicles for the last push to Camp 1. It was absolutely a great afternoon but it got even better. We pulled in to our camp site and those of us with previous Himalayan camping experience were astounded to see a trifecta of the best campsite attributes: a neighboring river and completely flat ground covered by soft grass. It was raining while we were setting up camp but there were obviously high winds aloft as they were pushing the rainclouds away with tremendous speed ...
