TREKKING IN TIBET

 
 

Introduction

 
 

Trekkers from all over the world regard Tibet as an ultimate adventure travel destination for its unlimited trekking options. Undeniably, Tibet trekking adventures offer most insightful, enriching and fascinating experience as you walk up a broad valley of barley, rich yak pastures, picturesque flower-carpeted valleys, deep gorges, arid Tibetan topography that resembles a lunar landscape, rugged high altitude deserts, successions of glacier-topped mountains and ancient villages with their colorful prayer flags. Treks in Tibet not only introduce you to its Himalayan peaks, monasteries and culture but also educates you on its distinctive flora and fauna, and chances to interact with Tibetan Nomads is another incomparable enjoyment of trekking in Tibet. Much of rural Tibet is still very rough and wild and for many this is exactly what attracts them to Tibet. We are here to ensure that you have the most comfortable trip possible for the places you want to go and the things you want to do.  We normally combine your trekking trip with some cultural sightseeing in Lhasa so you won't miss out on anything.

Transport: A support truck transports all your food and equipment and, while trekking, porters and/or yaks carry everything you need - you just carry your day-pack with water, camera and anything else you may need for trekking.

Camps:  All camping equipment, except for your sleeping bag, is supplied. This includes 2-man tents, bed mats, dining tent, toilet tent and cooking equipment..

Guides: Experienced Tibetan trekking guides accompany all treks.

Grade: Please click here for Grade description

Route: Some areas of Tibet are not normally open for trekking but if you let us know well ahead of time, we can apply for permit from relevant organizations and open it just for you!

Food: Camping trips are accompanied by a cook and all meals are included - a mixture of Tibetan, Chinese and Western dishes. Boiled water is available morning and evening to re-fill water bottles.

Mt. Kailash has the unique distinction of being the world's most venerated holy place at the same time that it is the least climbed. Lying 20km southeast of Mt. Kailash and north to Namnani Peak, Lake Manasarovar is the highest freshwater lake in the world, with an altitude of 4,588m and an area of 412sqkm. No planes, trains or buses journey anywhere near the region and even with rugged over-land 4WDs the journey still requires some strengths. It is the absolutely ideal realm for the adventurers and mountaineers.

Mt. Everest Base Camp is another popular trekking route. Standing at 17,000ft (5200 meters), air around Base Camp is definitely thin. No electricity, no cement roads, no running tap water, just yaks, dogs, gravels, rugged scenery, towering peaks, glaciers and plenty of friendship.

Some of our sample hiking trips are listed below. Remember, we can tailor everything.
