After guiding many years of expeditions and tourist groups across Tibetan Plateau, we learnt that it is important to have a detailed introduction and explanation for the places where travelers about to visit. Because of Tibet’s unique culture and complicated geography, most places if not all will not be able to explain in a short simple itinerary nor travelers to understand where they are about to go or see. Therefore, as a Tibetan owned and run travel company with many years of tourism business experiences, we felt it is our duty to offer authentic and accurate travel, culture and geographic information about highlights and hidden places of Tibetan plateau as well as other himalayan kingdoms.
