Tibet Tour

Cerulean skies, icy mountains, and turquoise lakes; ancient near-mythical palaces and monasteries shimmering in the crystalline distance; red, yellow, green, blue, and white prayer flags fluttering in the rarified air. The Tibetan Plateau, which goes from 3,500 m to the soaring heights of Mt Everest, is the legendary 'roof of the world'. Home to venerable religious and educational traditions including Tibetan Buddhism and the ancient Bön religion as well as a complex social heritage that boasts an enviably systematised study of the human body and medicine, Tibet today is a curious study in contrast between the old monastic way of life that pervaded every aspect of society, and the modern, development-oriented Han Communist system. There are splendid opportunities here for cultural, religious, and adventure holidays.


NB: It is important to note that travel into Tibet is restricted to organised groups. Tin Tin Trekking will organise the permits required at the Embassy in Kathmandu, Nepal of the People's Republic of China.
