Hi - sorry to comment on your blog when I don't know you but I am going to Tibet in October so I found your account really interesting and has made me quite excited.

Hey Sion
Hello Sion, I did my tour with a company called Gap Adventures. The tour was called 'High Road to Tibet'. I had such a great time on it, a fab tour. But I'm sure you'll have a great time in Tibet however you go with. Best Wishes!
