Tibet

Climb to the roof of the world

It’s a rare traveler who hasn’t dreamed of visiting Tibet. For centuries it was the “furthest goal of travel,” and it remains one of the most beguiling places on earth. We pioneered travel to Tibet a quarter century ago, and our deep affection for the vast sceneries and engaging people of the great plateau remains intense.

Our long experience in Tibet and our decades of partnership with our Tibetan associates allow us to craft visits to the sublime monasteries and temples of Lhasa, Shigatse, and Gyantse. Or, if you prefer, trek to the rarely visited East Face of Everest or to Lake Namsto. Enter the fray of the Litang Festival, or into the forests, alpine vistas, and wondrously remote ­villages of Kham. We can arrange trips that focus on Buddhist pilgrimage sites and monasteries. With 30 years under our belt and the first permits to walk beyond Lhasa, we have access to journeys you can't imagine alone.
