Though not as long or difficult as our stretch on the G219, our trip north from Lhasa and out of Tibet was not without its challenges! But by the end of the three days there was no denying we were starting the next big leg of our journey.

Three days off in Lhasa as we spend time catching up, recovering, and resting from a long trek across the province. Lots of sights to see too as we stop in at the Johkang Temple and Potala Palace.

We make our final push into Lhasa, marking a few major milestones in our trip. It's not without it's challenges though as we find out 500km, 13 hours, and 3 mountain passes later...

We are forced to earn our ascent to Everest Base Camp. Nearly two full days each way of dirt track start to take its toll on both of us and the bike, but nearly a month since visiting the lowest inland place on earth we make it to the 5,220m camp!

We push onward into Tibet. Significantly more favorable weather allow us to enjoy this beautiful area of the country much more as we visit monasteries and holy lakes along the way.

Well the sand storms and desert heat from only a few weeks ago certainly seem far away now! Read about the start of our adventure on the G219 into Tibet as we hit snow, 5,000m high mountain passes, and the beautiful scenery of the Kunlun Mountains and into Tibet.
