Tibet Friendship Highway

Our most popular Tibet itinerary is the Friendship Highway — 11 Days Lhasa to Kathmandu overland with Everest Base Camp.

Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet

In Lhasa, you will visit the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and Drepung and Sera Monasteries. Besides the sites in Lhasa, we will visit the monasteries and temples in Gyantse and Shigatse. From Rongbuk, we can see the north face of Everest, certainly the best vantage point to view the world’s highest mountain. Together with the superb landscapes on the road journey from Lhasa to Kathmandu, this contributes to a remarkable expedition in this harsh but beautiful land.

Groups start in Lhasa every Saturday May-October, or you can start a private tour any day of the year.

Land Prices: $1635/person

Tanzania Laptop Cooperative (TLC)

Have an old laptop?  Donate it with some TLC!  The Tanzania Laptop Cooperative, that is….

As a recent college graduate, Dan Thorngren knows how critical a personal computer can be for academic success.  After living in Tanzania during summer 2007, he witnessed the immense need, craving in fact, that students there have for technology.  As these young Tanzanians will soon be the leaders of their country, it is imperative that they develop computer skills in order to work successfully with other people around the world.

It is out of this need that the Tanzania Laptop Cooperative was formed.  “When people in North America buy a new laptop, frequently their old one gets put into storage,” says Dan, “this is a waste of perfectly good technology.  Our goal is to recycle that technology by moving it where it is needed most.”

“Adventures Within Reach encourages our travelers to give back to countries where they visit. This is a great way to get rid of an old computer and to personally help the children in Tanzania,” said Robin Paschall of Adventures Within Reach.

The Tanzania Laptop Cooperative needs help in two ways:

• Donations of laptops, flash drives, other used goods
• Help in getting the laptops to students in Tanzania
