Tibet is possibly the most fascinating country on the planet, both in terms of its history and the unique culture. Learning about and visiting Tibet’s treasure trove of ancient cultural sites and meeting Tibetan people is fascinating and fun. From nomadic yak herders on the arid plains, to Buddhist monks in ancient Monasteries, to the people you meet in the street bazaars, you will find the Tibetan spirit humbling and heart-warming!

Tibet is home to some of the world’s most stunning and intricate architecture. From the most famous sites like the Potala Palace and the Kumbum to ancient and unique sites such as Samye Monastery, said to the first in Tibet, you will learn about the design and spiritual geography of Tibet and the surrounding region. A truly fascinating insight into these ancient structures and their spiritual importance to a people under immense pressure.

Lhasa is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of the holy Jokhang Temple, Tibet’s most sacred Buddhist temple; the Potala Palace, the winter residence of the Dalai Lama; and the Norbulingka, or summer palace of the Dalai Lama while they resided in Tibet. Beyond Lhasa there are remote ancient Kingdoms, age old Monasteries and spiritual shrines all set against the backdrop of the timeless Himalayan Range.

Learn about Tibet’s ancient religions, including Buddhist, Shamanism and the Bon-Po religion. Learn how these are often intertwined in a way that is fascinating culturally and a great example to the world of religious tolerance and synergy. For example, trek in Far Western Tibet to Mount Kailash, one of Asia’s most sacred mountains, which is revered by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Shamans and Bon Pos. This is truly getting to know Tibet!

Tibet has an incredibly rich heritage of art, devotional sculpture works and traditional weaving crafts, such as the stunning Tibetan carpets or striped aprons worn by Tibetan ladies. Visit artisans and see the process of creating these timeless works of art and beautiful textiles. Get to know the artists and if you like, buy some quality products direct from the artist – what is more fair trade than that (we don’t take commission but our professional guide can advise you on quality.)
