Kathmandu and Lhasa is known as the Friendship Highway. The journey is without a doubt one of the most spectacular in the world. From Kathmandu, the road travels gently up to Kodari (1873 m). Further ahead the road gentle climbs up, where travelers feel decidedly weak and wobbly due to the altitude. Tingri (4390 m) provides fabulous views of Mt. Everest and the Himalaya Range and is where many travelers spend the night before travelling on.

September and October are considered the best times.
