Tibet is one of the last great remote, less trekked, and deeply fascinating places on earth. From the vibrant blue salt lakes of the Northern Plateau to the deep forested gorges of Kham which carries all the great rivers of East and Southeast Asia - Salween, Mekong and Yangtze, Tibet offers an endless array of amazing geological wonders. Yellow River meanders through the north-eastern grasslands of Amdo. Further west, the Brahmaputra flows along the continental suture through a landscape of high altitude desert. In the Far-west are the deserted cave cities of the Sutlej Valley, and the gorge of the upper Indus.
The spectacular snow-covered mountains throughout the Tibetan plateau have long been a focal point of theological pilgrimage. The sacred peaks of Mt. Kailash in the far-west, the Amnye Machen in the northeast, the Kawa Karpo in the southeast, and the other “roof of the world” awe-inspiring peaks of the Himalayas has inspired numerous generations of trekkers seeking self-enlightenment by becoming one with nature’s majesty. Tibet offers the opportunity to become immersed in imaginative thoughts, meditation, and tranquility.
The peoples of the Tibetan plateau are stout-hearted and independently minded, living in complete harmony with this environment. The upper grasslands and watersheds are the preserve of the nomads. By contrast, in the low-lying towns and cities, daily lives tend to be modernized; nonetheless, they still preserve their unique culture and beliefs.
Visiting Tibet, whether out of a spirit of adventure, to commune with nature, or to explore its Buddhist and secular heritage requires planning and preparation.
