A Brief Introduction to Tibet
Tibet is not only a land of ancient cultural and religious heritage, but also one of striking natural beauty. Towering snow-capped peaks, serene lakes, powerful rivers, and spiritual monasteries create a captivating environment for the adventurous traveler.
Buddhism has flourished here for over 1,300 years, evolving into a unique form known as Lamaism. Tibetan history, religion, and culture are deeply intertwined, influencing every aspect of daily life. From art and architecture to festivals and spiritual rituals, Tibet offers a unique blend of Indian and Chinese Buddhist influence, forming a treasure trove of Oriental Buddhist art.
The Tibetan plateau is home to diverse ethnic groups such as the Tibetans, Monpas, Lhopas, and Muslims, each preserving their own traditions of birth, marriage, and burial. Vibrant festivals throughout the year offer travelers the chance to witness exciting celebrations and sacred ceremonies.
Join us for an unforgettable journey through a land of mountains, monks, mystery, and spiritual adventure.

Important Travel Considerations
Traveling in Tibet can be challenging, adventurous, and unpredictable. Due to the high altitude, it is strongly advised that travelers with a history of heart, lung, or anemia-related issues consult a physician before planning their trip.
Keep in mind, Tibet has only been open to tourism for about two decades, and while efforts are made to ensure comfort, the tourism infrastructure remains basic in many areas. Travelers should not expect Western standards of service, but we assure you that every effort will be made to provide a safe, smooth, and enriching journey.
Visa & Travel Permit Requirements
To obtain the Tibet visa and travel permit, travelers must arrive in Kathmandu at least four working days in advance, along with their original passport. The visa office operates from Monday to Friday; therefore, it’s essential to plan your arrival accordingly.
Don’t worry about the extra days in Nepal! During your stay in Kathmandu, often referred to as “Nepal: Never Ending Peace and Love”, you’ll have the chance to explore ancient UNESCO World Heritage Sites, visit Chitwan National Park for a thrilling jungle safari, or enjoy other exciting activities. Our team will be happy to help you plan the perfect pre-tour experience.
