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.

Excursions in Tibet: Rongbuk Monastery & Everest Base Camp

The monastery is a pleasant place to visit but of course the major attraction is the stunning scenery all around, and the view of the world's highest mountain's north face.

Rongbuk Monastery & Everest Base Camp

Everest Base Camp, Tibet
  • Culture & History

Rongbuk Monastery, at an altitude of 5000m the highest in the world, is dedicated to the Guru Padma Sambhava. The monastery is a pleasant place to visit but of course the major attraction is the stunning scenery all around, and the view of the world's highest mountain's north face. The views are simply spectacular!

You can walk to base camp from here, and take tea in the tea tent where you may meet some hopeful climbers.

Please note that at 5200m this area is extremely cold and you must take adequate clothing.
