Trekking in Tibet

Lying north of the Himalayas on a high plateau and almost totally isolated until the 20th century, Tibet was an enigmatic land shrouded in mystery until a few solitary westerners including Frank Younghusband in 1904 and Heinrich Harrer in 1944, penetrated its borders and told the world fascinating tales of monasteries, turquoise lakes, relentless winds and hospitable people.

Tibet's borders however, were firmly closed between 1950 after the Chinese invasion until 1984, when Lhasa was officially opened to travellers.

A trek in Tibet will reveal dramatic snow clad peaks at close quarters, but will also offer a glimpse of life in the 21st century in this isolated land with its twin cultures and difficult, changing history.
