more often than you think.\u00c2\u00a0 You see a trip on the website that you would like to join but it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite fit into your busy work schedule or you have different needs and wants during a trip or you would rather just do it on your own with our amazing guide team.\u00c2\u00a0 We can help!<\/p>\n<p>A great example is going on in Tibet right now. We put together a Tibet Trek for Mitch &amp; Leslie, long-time friends of IMG, and just fantastic people.\u00c2\u00a0 Mitch and Leslie have visited Annapurna Base Camp as well as Everest Base Camp on the South Side. Since then have been wanting to see Everest from the North Side, so they called on IMG Senior Trekking Guide, Lopsang Sherpa about another adventure, the stars aligned and they were off to Tibet!<\/p>\n<p>We received a few photos over the weekend and some text messages from Mitch.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We are crushing it over here in Tibet!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The team visited the Potala Palace, ate dinner with our friend living in Tibet, and are touring Lhasa for some acclimatization.\u00c2\u00a0 Over the weekend, they visited Norbulingka, The Dalai Lama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s summer home, and Sera Monastery, where the monks debate. Today they set off for Shigatse and will spend a couple days trekking and sightseeing.<\/p>\n<p>Arranging a private trek in Tibet is not as difficult as it may sound, even with the extra paperwork and Chinese visas that need to be squared away beforehand.\u00c2\u00a0 So, if you can&#8217;t visit Tibet with our Cho Oyu Team, or would like to head over with your own small group, we can help arrange your trip.\u00c2\u00a0 Tibet would also be a great \u00e2\u20ac\u0153add on\u00e2\u20ac\u009d after the Everest Base Camp Trek in the Spring.\u00c2\u00a0 Head to EBC on the South Side, go back to Kathmandu acclimatized and fly into Lhasa.\u00c2\u00a0 What a great way to spend your Spring!<\/p>\n<p>Greg Vernovage<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 10, 2018 &nbsp; It happens more often than you think.\u00c2\u00a0 You see a trip on the website that you would like to join but it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite fit into your busy work schedule or you have different needs and wants during a trip or you would rather just do it on your own with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":20071,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tibet-trek"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20067"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20067\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20075,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20067\/revisions\/20075"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
