Tibet, 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 provides 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. A valid passport including a standard Chinese entry visa is required. Additionally, an original Tibet visa permit is required. Tibet visitors must have a tour guide escort whom is authorized to provide such services.
