Travels is specialized in tourism to Tibet
and thus can design your journey to suit
your needs.
Tibet is accessible for those who are long
for a different world where one meets the
Tibetan folk, their fascinating culture
and the breathtaking nature which leaves
its traces in the soul.
Tibet called " the roof of the world", lies
between China and Nepal. The average height
is 4 000 km and the highest peak is Mt.
Everest or Chomolungma, Mother Earth, as
called by the Tibetans. Many exciting experiences
await in Lhasa. The magnificent Potala palace,
once a residence of Dalai Lama, inspires
the Buddhists and the Tibetans peculiar
culture. Three of the most significant temples,
Sere, Drepung and Jokhand lies here. You
spend the night in the Old part of Lhasa
called Barkhor, where you can come in close
contact with Tibetans daily life-style and
also try their well-known butter.
After one gets adapted to their life style,
it is time to have some excursions. There
are many things to see and certain tours
may take a few days while other just a day
and return back to Lhasa by sunset. In Tibet,
one is welcomed with smiling faces and curious
eyes. Tibetans greeting may seem a little
strange to us, as they stretches out their
tongue towards us as a sign of greeting.
In July 2001 a new connection between Lhasa
and Hong Kong was started. A railway line
between China and Tibet is also under construction
which will pass between Golmid in Qinhagi
Province and is going to be the world's
highest railway track |
