Known
as the "Roof of the World", Tibet is one of the most fascinating
and exotic travel destinations on earth. For the traveler
looking for a world untouched by time, Tibet will stun and amaze
you with its diversity and WILD beauty. Surrounded by vast
mountain ranges in a myriad of colors, grasslands so green your
photographs will astound your friends, beautiful people who
still wear their traditional garb as everyday apparel, and a
religious dedication and fervor unknown anywhere else on the
planet, Tibet is almost the last of the WILD Asian
civilizations. Come see it before it goes Western! Since the
main enchantments are far off the beaten track, away from the
cities (other than Lhasa, of course), curious travelers finally
can visit these WILD rural areas, even with no Tibetan or
Chinese language skills!
more on attractions in Tibet. One of the reasons group tours
are so popular in China is because without a tour guide who can
translate, who can order food, negotiate a hotel room, and get
you to a bathroom, visiting this very foreign land would be far
too intimidating, even hazardous. But what about those travelers
who cannot tolerate the time tables, rules and regulations of
traveling with a big group of unfamiliar people? What about
travelers who enjoy traveling alone or with one or two other
people and doing what they want when they want? Without Tibetan
and Chinese language skills, this type of travel in WILD
Tibet is just about impossible. Even using a Lonely Planet
guide, without language skills, what could have been a lovely
and life-enhancing vacation could turn out to be a nightmare.
That's
where we come in. As a cooperative for independent tour guides,
we can match you to a local ENGLISH SPEAKING guide who knows the
local areas, customs, history, and dangers. Want to live with
nomads for a few days? Want to ride a yak or drink butter tea
with colorful Tibetans? With a private guide you can see both
the "main tourist attractions" and the off-the-beaten-track
places only locals know about. As a one-on-one guide, the
service you will receive goes far beyond the expectations of a

TIBETAN ARRANGED TOURS With a deep concern for the Tibetan people, our friend Losang has moved his family to Xining and started a tour company. With his profits he helps Tibetans in many ways, not least of which includes clothing an entire orphanage for the winter. Losang knows the history and geography and culture of the Tibetan people, he speaks English (since he's from the US) and he is a resource beyond comprehension. Anyone traveling to see the real Tibetan lifestyle should stop by his site and check out all the information he publishes as a public service. If you plan to visit, he is a highly recommended tour guide. www.tibetanconnections.com
