TREKKING IN TIBET
Among all the Buddhist nations in Asia, Tibet
has preserved the most original forms of Indian
Buddhism, partly because of its remoteness but
mainly because it has allowed spiritual beliefs
to permeate its culture and people's conscience
almost entirely. From the 8th to the 10th
century AD, Tibet witnessed the birth of more
than 20 religious schools, each deriving from
distinct lineages of Buddhism, and among these
the most influential were the Nyingmapa, Kagyupa
and Gekupka. In our trekking tour, we will
explore the major monasteries, temples and
sacred sites under the guidance of our expert’s
guide. Trekking in Tibet is the best way to
explore the countryside. The breathtaking views
of the snow-capped peaks as well as the views of
Tibetan countryside will make the journey an
unforgettable one. We will take part in (where
possible) prayer ceremonies, visit the homes of
local Tibetans and discuss religious customs
throughout the trip. By experiencing the wonders
and the spiritual challenges experienced by
Tibet's pilgrims, we may gain an understanding
of why Tibetans draw an equal sign between
religion and life.
In the process of organizing trekking tours over
ears in Tibet, we have accumulated rich
experiences and collected lots of information in
geography, climate, and humane and folk customs.
We have trained skilled tour guides and other
personnel for logistics supply. Year by year, we
have developed a particular trekking model which
is accepted and appreciated by more and more
packagers, retailers and tourists.
We recommend these routes for your reference.
Customized itineraries for private groups are
also available. Please just let us know your
time frame and interest; we use our knowledge
and experience to make your itinerary the best
possible.
Sightseeing Tours in Tibet : Tibet, located on
the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau 4000m above sea level,
is praised as the "Roof of the World". The
special geographic conditions and environment
cultivated its unique culture, history and the
people, creating a splendid chapter in the
history of human civilization. There are the
grand Himalayan Mountain, clear and beautiful
rivers in high mountains, dreamlike lakes on the
plateau, vast endless grassland in north Tibet,
mysterious Buddhist culture and the warm and
open-hearted Tibetans, which make Tibet the holy
land for tourists, pilgrims and explorers. Come
on to this piece of land that stands closest to
the blue sky to cherish the snow-capped
mountains, grassland, lakes, sunshine and
lamaseries and search for our spiritual home.
A journey in Tibet is an adventure, a special
experience of a unique culture where religion
and Buddhist faith are inseparable from everyday
life. This faith is expressed in many ways, from
the spinning of prayer wheels to the
circumambulation of Mt Kailas. On the right side
are the conventional routes of tours in Tibet we
have designed, taking Kathmandu as the starting
point. We may design different routes for you
based on your requirements and location.
Of course, we may add more programs to this
route. If you have special requirements
regarding scenic spots, arrangements,
accommodations, just let us know as early as
possible. We suggest it would be best to make
your tours in Tibet from April to October. But
we are also happy to be at your service in
winter since Tibet has a particular taste at
that time.
MT. KAILASH SPECIAL :
Mt. Kailash (6714 m) - also known as Tise,
Kailasa or Kang Rinpoche (Jewel of the Snows)
has since time immemorial been celebrated in
many eastern cosmologies as Mt. Meru, the axis-mundi.
As the center of the physical & metaphysical
universe, Mt. Meru (Kailash) is sacred to the
Hindus, the Buddhists, the Jains, and the Bonpos.
For the Hindus, the mountain represents the seat
of Shiva. For the Buddhists, a terrestrial
projection of the cosmic Mandala of the Dyani
Buddhas & Boddhisatvas, the Wheel of Life. For
the devout pilgrim a visit to Mt. Kailash & Lake
Mansorovar forms the ultimate realization of
their spiritual pursuit. And for the
adventure-lovers it offers rugged beauty,
remoteness and solitude. The June tour visits
Kailash during the annual Buddhist festival of
Saga Dawa while most of the other trips are
planned to arrive at Mt. Kailash during the full
moon period to give all participants a rare
experience. A journey rightly called
`once-in-a-lifetime'.
