The story

After our trip to Nepal, we fly to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, and then return by off-road vehicle to Kathmandu. A week of adventures on the road on the roof of the world!! The first thing I'd warn you about is the big problem of altitude...don't take it lightly the way I did, because you suffer terribly!!! Wicked migraines, you can't sleep...and the food is really disgusting!!! Discomforts aside, it's definitely a trip I'll never forget! Here too, for the details, write to me, it's better! Bye, Max
