In a region of mystery colour and culture
Tibet flourished in secrecy for centuries.
A medieval magic of a land where people eat,
sleep and breathe religion, following traditions
laid down one hundred lifetimes ago. Tibet
is steeped in the grit, toil and celebration
of life.
It is indeed a very special place with
a long and complex history, written records
have survived from the 7th Century A.D.
but it is known that nomadic tribes populated
Tibet as early as the 2nd Century B.C.
More recent times have seen the invasion
of China in 1959 and the inevitable dilution
of Tibetan culture. Tibet however has proved
over the years since that its way of life
has been able to withstand this influence,
power of thought and life itself overcoming
the modern ravages of politics. Tibet a
place for the traveler to cast away any
preconceptions he or she may have and join
in the journey of discovery along the way...
at least for a while. We have designed
a number of tours to suit a number of interests
although we are always open to new ideas.
