We offer to our valuable clients as following 3 different types of tour / trek into Tibet:
The old city revolves around the Jhokang temple and the quaint Barkhor market that surrounds it. The Jhorkhang built in the 17th century is the holiest Buddhist shrine in Tibet. Its mural paintings, finely worked golden roofs and other artworks are something to see. At a little distance from the old city core, Lhasa is also a modern capital of concrete high rises, fancy department stores and wide boulevards. Norbulingka consists of wooded greenery and three palaces once used by the Dalai lamas as a summer retreat. The Drepung Monastery lies about 10 km from the city. Built in1416 it is the largest in Tibet. The Sera Monastery about 5 km to the north is another impotent center of Buddhist learning.
Traveling overland between Katmandu and Lhasa is an incredible journey in which you can see the world's 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 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 us not for you, while the trip to Tibet is not easy it is well worth the effort. Tibet was opened to 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 standards you are accustomed to in the west. However, every effort will be made under the circumstances to ensure a smooth and pleasant trip.
