As
a tourist destination the major focus of sightseeing in Tibet is on Buddhist
culture, religion and lifestyles. Not surprisingly most of the sightseeing tours
cover monasteries, shrines and holy places. Besides Buddhism Tibet
has a lot more to offer such as mountains,
wildlife, natural beauty and fantastic landscape. For nature lovers the drive
across the high plateau or a trek into some of the pristine areas in the
Everest region and treading on virgin territory can simply form a unique
ground breaking experience of a lifetime. Those of you who don’t feel
confident about your physical fitness to take on a trek, just imagine! you can
simply drive up to the Everest Base Camp and go on an excursion trip to
advanced base camp or drive west to the foot of Mount Kailash and take
breathtaking close up views of the sacred mountain, experience the ambience of
pilgrims and enjoy the tranquility of lake Manasarovar. Buddhist architecture
and mingling with simple fun loving Tibetan people is also a wonderful
experience.
The
8 day standard tour of central Tibet is the most popular tour which enables
the traveler to sample some of the most important Buddhist religious centers. The 10-14 day tour is recommend for the more serious traveler
keen on going beyond just culture and
lifestyle.
