Tibet

Imagine soaring Himalayan peaks, fluttering prayer flags, big skies, stunning Buddhist monasteries and friendly hospitable people.  Known as ‘the Land of Snows', ‘the Rooftop of the World', and as the mythical 'Shangri La', Tibet has been historically isolated by its mountainous geography. This isolation has, for centuries, fired people’s curiosity about the kingdom which its only been possible to visit since the 1980s.

The country's rugged and spectacular mountain environment combined with its sparse population and stunning historical sites makes any overland journey across the Tibetan Plateau both a spiritual and epic travel experience.
