Tibet Travel / Tibet Tour
Forbidden Tibet: One of The Few Unique, Truly Different Locations Left in Our Modern World!
Take a priceless journey to the mystic land on the "Roof of the World" on your own spiritual pilgrimage. Have an inside look at exotic lamaseries and temples, the exiled Dalai Lama's one thousand room Potala Palace, majestic sacred mountains, fascinating culture, friendly people, and much more. You will treasure this spiritual retreat / meditation retreat your entire life.
Experiences Beyond The Ordinary
Our tour groups have regularly been able to participate in experiences available to no other tours. In the past, we have often visited privately with Tibetan families in their homes and had private audiences with abbots of leading monasteries and received special spiritual blessings from them.
Lhasa to Nepal, Mt. Everest & More!
You will have a full week in the holy city of Lhasa and see the "real" Tibet that few visitors ever experience. On this one-of-a-kind trip you will embrace the majesty of the Himalayas on a five day drive in modern buses on the road from Lhasa to Nepal. This will include rare and breathtaking photo opportunities from mountain passes that reach up to 17,500 ft. You will spend the nights in historic cities, in a hotel near Mt. Everest, and in picturesque mountain towns. You will stop at virtually isolated monasteries and towns where foreigners are still a curiosity. Plus much much more!
You'll have a truly unique adventure awaiting you in Tibet... the land of mystics and mysteries, magnificent sacred mountains, and spirit-filled people.

- Exotic Kathmandu, capital of Nepal.
- The Yarlung Valley, home of the ancient Kings of Tibet.
