SnowLion Tours

Who We Are

We are a grassroots Tibetan travel company established by Wangden Tsering, a Tibetan entrepreneur with extensive experience managing travel agencies and organizing tours in Tibet and mainland China. Our company is based in Tibet, with offices in Xining and Lhasa. All of our staff both in office and in the field are Tibetan with many years of traveling and guiding experiences in Tibet. We are committed to providing high-quality, environmentally sustainable travel services with a Tibetan touch.

We created SnowLion Tours with the idea that as Tibetans, we could utilize our local expertise to create authentic journeys to off-the-beaten-path locations.  By sharing with you our intimate knowledge of Tibetan culture and land, we can show you the best Tibet has to offer.

At SnowLion Tours, we have a threefold mission:

• We arrange authentic Tibetan tours tailored to suit your individual needs. We want to work with you to create the trip of your dreams.We will make every effort to make your journey to Tibet a culturally authentic, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
• We provide environmentally sustainable travel services in Tibet. The ecosystem on the Tibetan plateau is extremely fragile. We desire to see our Tibetan culture and traditions last for generations to come, so we do our utmost to arrange travel in the most ecologically friendly way possible.
• We work to improve the livelihoods of local Tibetans through tourism.The tourism industry is one of the most important and beneficial businesses in Tibet. We established this company to foster Tibetan entrepreneurship, help local farming and nomadic communities, and create jobs for local Tibetans.
