Tibet - The Roof of the World
A Tibetan Khampa horseman
Lhasa, Central and Eastern Tibet, Including Kham and Amdo
Forbidden for centuries to travelers, Tibet’s ancient civilizations and culture
flourished behind a veil of mystery and secrecy, capturing our imagination
throughout history. But no longer is this destination for only the most daring
explorers.
Despite years of social upheaval, Tibet’s grandeur, magic and mystery still
remain undiminished, truly an adventurer’s paradise. Tibet’s breathtaking
Himalayan range rising from the Tibetan Plateau; the ancient sacred domain of
Lhasa, capitol of Tibet and former home of the Dalai Lamas and some of the
greatest monasteries and temples in Tibet; Central and Eastern Tibet, where lush
green hills encircle the Kichu and Brahmaputra valleys, acting as guardians to
such magical places as Drak Yerpa and Lhamo Lhatso; and the far eastern reaches
of fertile Kham and the grasslands of Amdo are but a few places Destination
Kathmandu can escort you, either by air, road and by foot. We’ll provide you
with all necessary information on equipment and permit requirements. With
limited travel season (April-October) reservations are highly recommended to
assure air transport availability.
