Private guides for Tibetan areas of China

---

Known as the "Roof of the World", Tibet is one of the most beguiling and exotic travel destinations on earth. For the traveler looking for a world untouched by time, Tibet will stun and amaze you with its diversity and WILD beauty. Heinrich Harrer—portrayed by Brad Pitt in Seven Years in Tibet tells us in his classic book about the spectacular experience he had among this people. Since World War II and the invasion and occupation of Tibet, you would assume the Tibetans he described would be no more, but amazingly these determined folks persevere, holding dear to their traditions, religious beliefs and customs. Come to WILD Tibet before it fades into the overwhelmingly Chinese influence, meet these astounding people who have inhabited this magnificent land mass for thousands of years.

Surrounded by vast mountain ranges in a myriad of colors, grasslands so green your photographs will astound your friends, beautiful people who still wear their traditional garb as everyday apparel, and a religious dedication and fervor unknown anywhere else on the planet, Tibet is almost the last of the WILD Asian civilizations. Come see it before it goes Western! Since the main enchantments are far off the beaten track, away from the cities (other than Lhasa, of course), curious travelers finally can visit these WILD rural areas, even with no Tibetan or Chinese language skills! more on attractions in Tibet. One of the reasons group tours are so popular in China is because without a tour guide who can translate, who can order food, negotiate a hotel room, and get you to a bathroom, visiting this very foreign land would be far too intimidating, even hazardous. But what about those travelers who cannot tolerate the time tables, rules and regulations of traveling with a big group of unfamiliar people? What about travelers who enjoy traveling alone or with one or two other people and doing what they want when they want? Without Tibetan and Chinese language skills, this type of travel in WILD Tibet is just about impossible. Even using a Lonely Planet guide, without language skills, what could have been a lovely and life-enhancing vacation could turn out to be a nightmare.

Nothing beats Tibet for excitement and fascination. Check out this pose I caught at the top of a monastery. Resting on her umbrella she's just a charm.
