Tibet, a land veiled in secrecy for centuries, " The Roof of the World " with all its mystery is now open to tourist. Nepal provides one of the few windows on the long forbidden Tibet and its culture. Ever since Tibet was opened to the world in 1985, Nepal has become an easy and attractive gateway from which to explore Tibet. We operate tours to Tibet by breathtakingly beautiful Overland trips and for easy access by Air. Heart rending dry plateau's, green flatlands, and intense culture, make the journey worthwhile. Tibet is harsh and primordial. Guarded by high passes and blessed by wispy prayer flags, it is often painted as a Shangri - La of cliff-hanging monasteries and a culture locked in eternal mysticism. A century ago, a visit to Tibet took stamina, nerve and a good deal of luck. Isolated by formidable geographic barriers and guarded by its government.
