Excitement in Preparation!

---

How fun is this planning stuff! I've been studying the culture and history of Tibet for about three months in preparation for this voyage. Now, I am down to the last minute planning of local tours and hotel reservations. If a person had a life, they would miss all the excitement. The more I read and plan, the more I look forward to this wonderous adventure. Thanks for coming along! Look for my new post in a day or so with my new itinerary!

Ciao,
Morningstar

Hi
Safe travels....

Planning
Hi, I am in the planning stages as well. The biggest issue is figuring out the visa. If an agency helps me with the visa am I stuck with them guiding me? I am trying to find out if I can get a Tibet visa with no guide. Otherwise, planning is good. Tickets for travel are expensive...around 1500 USD just to get there.

Tibet
Here's a great contact. Sorry about the delay, but I changed my trip from March to July - Oct. I am going to Mongolia, China to work in Orphanage in Tibetan area, the TAR. This American guy lives in Xining, has a hostel and does tours. He can get your a visa, with or without a tour. He gives back a bunch of money he earns to Tibetan projects, like warm clothing for orphans. [e-mail] Let me know if and when you are going. Maybe we can share the cost of a jeep tour. I want to take one from Lhasa to Chengdu about Sept 20-25. Cheers!
