Keep in mind that you are traveling overland to highest plateau in the world; the drive goes above 3,650m/11,975ft and you reach at 5,250m/17,220ft at Everest Base Camp. Driving fast in such an elevation could cause medical conditions (Acute Mountain Sickness) . The higher the altitude the less is the oxygen in air. So, we have kept some nights in Lhasa to help acclimatization as your body needs few days to acclimatize to this less oxygen environment.
