Do you want to make a Tibet tour different from that common travelers do? Let’s tell you what you can do when travelling in Tibet so that you can design your own Tibet tour.

Sightseeing in Tibet

Sightseeing is a must when travelling in Tibet. Tibet has an endless list of fabulous, ancient and fascinating places to visit. Spend your time visiting, monasteries, ancient villages, high altitude lakes, splendid snow mountains, grand glaciers, primitive forests, vast grasslands, etc.

Trekking in Tibet

Can you imagine what your feeling is when walking at the top of the world? Located at a high altitude, most areas of Tibet are not accessible by modern vehicle, which offers numerous routes for trekking, like Ganden to Samye trek, Mt. Kailash kora, and Shalu to Nartang trek. The most popular Tibet trekking is the Kailash trek. You can take in the Kailash pilgrim circuit when travelling in Tibet.

Biking in Tibet

If you make a cycling in Tibet, it should be a life time trip for you. The best route is the overland tour from Lhasa to Kathmandu. It includes the world’s longest downhill. Of course, it requires much time and energy. A Tibet biking tour in and around Lhasa city is also perfect.

Rafting in Tibet

I suppose few tourists would think of a rafting in Tibet. In fact, there are a large numbers of rivers in Tibet. The source of most Tibetan rivers is the Holy Mount Kailash. The four greatest rivers in Tibet include the Ganges, Indus, Sutlej and Brahmaputra.

Horse-riding in Tibet

Tibetan is a nation loving horse riding. They hold several horse races each year, like the famous Gyantse Horse Racing Festival, Nagchu Horse Racing Festival, Yushu Horse Racing Festival and Litang Horse Racing Festival. Do you wanna have a try?

Shopping in Tibet

It must be interesting to wander in the market and watch all kinds of exotic handicrafts, antiques, carpets, jewelry, fashion costumes and other fascinating objects. The best shopping place is the Barkhor Street in Lhasa. You can find a large range of local Tibetan products on this street.
