It’s desolate wastelands of stark beauty – deserts, mountains and rivers embrace isolated gompas – Buddhist monasteries and a people with a spirit of survival fuelled by their devotion to the Dalai Lama.
An adventure holiday to Tibet, Known as the “Roof of the World”, is a once in a lifetime experience rewarding visitors who brave harsh conditions with an insight into a long-surviving cultural traditions that manifest themselves in amazing temples and palaces such as the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, Kumbum Stupa, Yumbulagang Palace and the famous Tashilhunpo Monastery.
See to Mt Everest from the Tibetan side of the border at Rongbuk Monastery as you make your way to Kathmandu along the Friendship Highway. There are lakes and rivers to discover too, like Lake Manasarovar, overlooked by Mt Kailash, holy in 4 great Asian religions.
Travel is tough but the natural beauty bathed in an unmatched clarity of light, the friendliness of its indomitable people and the amazing cultural sights make this one of the world’s greatest travel destinations.
For many people this is the Tibet that they discover on their first visit and the route along the Friendship Highway to or from Nepal is one of the true greats of the travel world. Major highlights litter the route, Shigatse where lies Tashilhunpo Monastery and the spectacular tombs of the Panchen Lamas, and Gyantse, home to Kumbum Stupa, to Rongbuk Monastery and Mt Everest Base Camp. Superlatives can’t do this area justice, it has to be seen, felt and experienced.
Views along the route are simply breathtaking and it’s no wonder this is the most visited part of the country – where else can you get close up views of Mount Everest without trekking, but if trekking is your thing then head hear with an experienced travel specialist and you’ll have some astounding experiences.
