Why Travel to Tibet?
"You
have to put up with a lot to get up onto the "rooftop of the world" -
bureaucracy & permits, distance & flights, unpaved roads & long drives,
poverty & filth, altitude sickness, headaches, nose bleeds, and dust...
lots of dust. "But make it to Tibet and you will be rewarded with a
surfeit of sensory experiences. A Tibet tour will delight and challenge
your senses with smells, tastes and colors you have never experienced
before. Good or bad, you'll discover the fetid odor of yak butter and
incense that smacks of hashish. you'll taste rich, savory stews of spicy
yak, crisp Asian pears, and sweet local melons ... "
But why you must go to Tibet?
In
brief the irresistable charm of Tibet comes from three aspects:
-
Splendid Landscape
-
Smiling Tibetan People
-
Unique Religion - Tibetan Buddhism
Some
more quotes will prove it
No matter
how one gets there, a trip to Tibet is a journey out of the ordinary. It
gives fresh meaning to the old label: the trip of a lifetime (or perhaps
several of them, if reincarnation proves to be true).
I'm not a religious person, or even very spiritual, but this place
awakens childhood wonder and silences the ego. Put simply, this place
puts me in my place.

Well, we spent
one helluva rollercoaster month in Tibet, up and down mountains and up
'n down emotions. It was a very confusing mix of good and bad, pleasure
and discomfort, beautiful and ugly. The biggest and most obvious
contrast is the Chinese with the Tibetans -- and corresponding
architecture, food, spirituality (or lack thereof), etc.

The people. In
all my travels, I have never, ever met people so willing and eager to
laugh. Although there are, of course, exceptions and of course people
who have little to laugh about, the vast majority of people we
met--whether beggars or children, lamas or shopkeepers--were almost
always on the verge of a smile, if not a grin. Laughter seems to come
easily to these people and the influence such a "small" thing can have
on your day and your experience is absolutely enormous.
