Friendship Highway – Tibet
Tibet is popularly known as the roof of the world, and a drive on the Friendship Highway shall be a sufficient justification for that. The road, which runs between the capital city of Tibet and the Sino-Nepal Friendship Bridge at the China-Nepal border, is almost 500 miles long and gives views of some of the highest peaks worldwide, including Mount Everest.
Other notable scenes across the highway include the Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra) River, peaks of the Cho Oyu, Lhotse, Makalu, and Shishapangma mountains, and several vast grasslands and meadows. It also boasts views of the partially unclimbed peaks of Tong La.
