Trekking Destinations > Tibet
Tibet one of those extraordinary destination where indeed adventure lurks around every corner! Adventure on the road is never short on the beautiful Trans Himalayan drive, through mountain, passes, promising a panorama of a cultural and scenic diversity unsurpassable anywhere.
It culminates on an arid plateau - a variable treasure trove of architectural masterpieces - the Buddhist monasteries of Drepung, once the largest in the country The Jhokhang - a spiritual center, and the awesome palaces of the Dalai Lama - Norbulinga ( the summer palace ) and the Potala (the traditional seat ).
Ancient Barkhor Bazaar still barters the bric - a - brac, in a region that’s not so much a little strange as utterly surreal. The tourist corridor between Zhangmu on the Nepalese border and Lhasa is relatively well-trodden these days, although by no means overcrowded, and offers side trips to the Everest Base Camp.
In the far west of Tibet is mount Kailash, the most sacred mountain in Asia, which is venerated by Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and the followers of the ancient Bon religion. Kailash is an important site for Tibetan and Indian pilgrims who make a 53 km. circuit, or Kora, around the mountain. This circumambulation, clockwise for Buddhist and Hindus and anti-clockwise for Bon followers, is said to erase the sins of a lifetime. The mountain it self is 6714 meters high and with its sheer walls and snow-capped peak is an astounding sight.

Tibet remains one of the most interesting, remote parts of he world, situated at an average elevation of (16500ft.) above sea level. Its limited facilities for tourists are only now approaching a resonable standard. A trip to Tibet is not for the faint hearted, the travelling can be hard, adventurous and often upredictable. Due to Tibet's high altitude travellers with a history of heart, lung or anemia problems should consult a doctor before considering a visit. Travelling overland between Kathmandu and Tibet is an incrediable jounrey in which you can see the World's highest plateau. This is a wonderful and amazing trip. Visitors should also understand before taking this trip the Tibet was only opened to tourism since the mid-eighties. However, is you are not up for a bit of adventure, of for acommodation and amenities that may be far from perfect, perhaps this trip is not for you. The infrastucture of the tourist industry is still very basic in this remote country. Although we try our best to see that our runs smoothly, we have to let you know that we have to rely heavily on our Tibetan Counterpart Agent for delivering the services, who again has to depend and comply with the strict travel rules and regulations of the Chinese Government
