The Tibetan Plateau offers myriad possibilities - it is a world like no other. Tibet
has one of the world's richest cultural and spiritual traditions;
here men and deities inhabit the same landscape, both physical
and mental. To travel across the incredible Tibetan Plateau
is to venture into the realm of the gods. A world where colors
are enhanced; the atmosphere a constant reminder that you
truly are on the Roof of the world”.
Our speciality is designing tours specifically to suit you.

The "Land of the Thunder Dragon" jealously guards its lifestyles and traditions. Nestled deep in the eastern Himalaya it is a stunningly beautiful country unknown to much of the world. It is a land of magnificent mountains, lush valleys, thick forests, a serene lifestyle and traditions unchanged for centuries. Towns are little more than villages, with quiet streets lined by decorative shops and houses. Colorful prayer flags highlight natural and man-made features of the landscape.
The lure and romance of Nepal comes from its very remoteness - nestled high in the Himalaya. Apart from Nepal’s world-renowned physical attractions – frozen peaks, broad valleys, lush jungles and exotic wildlife – it is a country with an ancient, rich and diverse cultural heritage. Traditional architecture mingles with the modern, busy streets divert around sacred shrines, festivals celebrate gods and heroes and suited-businessmen offer katak’s to departing visitors.

Tibet Thematic Journeys Do you have a specific interest which you would like to focus on during your trip? |
Tibetan regions of China Despite popular impressions Tibet has not been a unified country for most of its history – and today this has not changed. There are great places to visit which are historically and culturally Tibetan which are within China, but outside the TAR – and have been outside Lhasa’s influence for much of their history. These are fantastic places to visit and, in most cases, are not subject to the restrictions controlling travel within the TAR. |
