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.

  • 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.

St Regis Lhasa Resort

Lhasa

Until recently, accommodation in Lhasa consisted of characterful but simple guesthouses or ugly, functional group tour hotels, but with the opening of the St Regis, right in the centre of Tibet's capital, Lhasa finally has a luxury hotel to rival the best that Beijing and Shanghai can offer.

The St Regis occupies a prime position in the city on Jiangsu Road, a short walk from the bustling markets around Barkhor Square, and the timeless lanes and alleys of the Tibetan Quarter.

The Potala Palace rooms have superb views of the stunning former residence of the Dalai Lama, and restaurants offer excellent Tibetan, Chinese and international cuisine.
