Roof of the World -Tibet...
Travelling overland
between Kathmandu and Lhasa is an incredible journey
in which you can see the worlds highest mountains,
travel on the worlds highest plain, meet nomadic Tibetan
pilgrims and walk amidst the burning butter lamps
and chanting monks of Tibet's ancient and legendary
Buddhist monasteries.
This is a wonderful and amazing trip.
However if you are not up for a bit of adventure,
or for accommodations and amenities that may be far
from perfect, perhaps this trip is not for you while
the trip to Tibet is not easy it is well worth the
effort.
Tibet was opened for
tourism in 1985. Before this it avoided influence
from the western world and developed its unique culture
and religion independently. The infrastructure of
the tourist industry is still very basic in this remote
country. Please do not expect the standard you are
accustomed to in the West. However, every effort will
be made under the circumstance to ensure a smooth
& pleasant trip.
