Hurry up !!!!! Tibet is getting busy

by 1W1V - last update: Aug 6, 2005

Le toit du monde

Pilgrims sitting at the top of a pass
I have been to Tibet in July 2004.
The objectif of this trip was very limited as I just wanted to visit the most seen place in Tibet.
Trekking is not as well organised compared to Nepal and most of the time you are obliged to carry food, stove and tent.
Lack of trekking experience is also the reason why I did not make the effort to try to get into the business.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed 100 % every second of my trip to Tibet.

Here is my routing :
Lhassa
Gyantse
Shigatse
Lathse
Samye monastery
Everest
Namtso Lake.
Ganden
Sakya monastery

Pros:"still authentic, incredible sceneries, nice people"
Cons:"start to become business/chinese oriented, sometimes can be tough"
In A Nutshell:"Go now, tomorrow is too late"

 Nice photo of namtso lake! I was trying to decide whether to go to ebc or namtso. Seems like you have been to both. What would you think base on scenery? Oh, got to thank you for the tip on bringing poncho. Sounds like a must for trips outside of Lhasa.

 Wonderful pics and good tips. I will especially keep your "packing list tip" in mind when visiting Tibet this autumn. :-)

 Gyantse is spelled as "Gyangze" in the VT database. Maybe you can create a new page there with your dzong tip?
