Reasons To
Visit Tibet

  • Monasteries

    Scattered across the country the Tibetan monasteries which survived the Chinese invasion are colourful and often breathtaking, in remote locations and dating back many hundreds of years.

    Monasteries

  • Remote wilderness

    On top of a mountain, thousands of metres above sea level, one can look out over arching peaks and open plains and not see another being for miles, save for the occasional yak herder.

  • The Lhasa Express

    One of the world's truly great rail journeys, this tremendous feat of engineering enables the visitor to travel from Beijing to Lhasa on a stunning two night journey across the Tibetan Plateau.

  • Tibetan Buddhism

    Fluttering prayer flags atop mountains, smoky incense and the rich clang of prayer bowls are synonymous with Tibetan Buddhism. The religion has a rich yet troubled history with the current Dalai Lama living in exile.

Everest Snow Leopard Guesthouse

Tingre

A good choice in an area where most foreigners pass straight through. It is basically a Tibetan house that has been expanded to accommodate guests. The private bathrooms are extremely basic, but the views make the stay worthwhile.

The rooms are two or four bedded and the food here is very good considering where you are.
