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.

That's
where we come in. As a cooperative for independent tour guides,
we can match you to a local ENGLISH SPEAKING guide who knows the
local areas, customs, history, and dangers. Want to live with
nomads for a few days? Want to ride a yak or drink butter tea
with colorful Tibetans? With a private guide you can see both
the "main tourist attractions" and the off-the-beaten-track
places only locals know about. As a one-on-one guide, the
service you will receive goes far beyond the expectations of a
normal tour guide. Look at these additional benefits:

TESTIMONIALS
"I
cannot even express how thankful I am to my guides in Lhasa
and Chamdo. Without them I would have ended up with an
ulcer:) Instead this trip changed the way I see the world
and for that I am forever grateful." Joe N. Niagara Falls
"I
landed in Xining, on my way to Yushu City without
knowing a word of Chinese or Tibetan. By some miracle, I got
hooked up with Kalsang, a private guide. I couldn't even
order food or buy a camera battery by myself. But with him
at my side every day, I relaxed and enjoyed seeing many
mesmerizing Tibetan areas. His kind, glowing personality,
inner warmth and sincere desire to help me with every
detail, is, well, indescribable. I can imagine how
frustrated I would have been without him. Feel free to have
anyone email me for a personal recommendation, at
dolphinviewmazatlan@hotmail.com BTW, what a great
smile~"
Marilyn C. Park City
"Even
though I can speak some Mandarin, I am so thankful I decided
to use a private guide. Instead of just looking AT all the
sites, I felt like I was living in a new reality.
It was the best trip of my lifetime, thanks to my friendly
guide!"
Fan C. London
"Tibet
is a the land of dreams, but my personal guide is what made
it heaven-like. This experience made me realize how much we
are all the same; we all want happiness without suffering.
Knowing people, not just seeing their stuff is what opens
our hearts to them. My heart is full of prayers for the
Tibetan people. Thanks soooo much!!! I will be back!!!"
