Tibet Tour |
Tibet - the "Roof of the World" -
is a most unusual and beautiful place. Since
Tibet has remained forbidden for centuries,
curiosity has dragged many people to go visit
and explore this remote and rugged land - almost
dry at all. Lhasa - the capital of Tibet - offers
you spectacular views of the ancient Monasteries,
Turquoise lade and culture from a lost horizon.
The Tibetan people and their religion have
been inseparable. Even in their earliest myths
one finds references to Tibetan religious beliefs.
Originally, the Bon religion dominated Tibet.
After the introduction of Buddhist statues and,
later, Sanskrit documents from India, Buddhism
crept increasingly into Tibetan culture. Tibetan
Buddhism is the culmination of some early Bon
beliefs, Indian Buddhist texts, and several
great Lamas. The legendary Potala Palace, the
ancient seat of the Dalai Lama - spiritual leader
of the Tibetan Buddhist is the central focus
to the visitors.
Our tours to Tibet vary depending on travelers'
need and time available at their disposal. We
operate from a short four days trip, 2 or 3
weeks Mt. Kailash and Manasarovar Pilgrimage
trek to month long expeditions (see to our climbing
and expedition program in Tibet). Hotels and
foods en-route will often substantially basic.
So, it is still a pioneering adventure and travelers
should be physically fit and healthy by virtue
of long drive through the hillside and high
altitude.
