Dear Travel Adventurers,
 Thank you for your interest in our 2010 Tibet trip. Our previous journeys have been quite the adventure. Here’s what a few of our travelers had to say:
“What a wonderful trip! We had the most compatible people imaginable. Lhakpa was a treasure, so kind and knowledgeable. The scenery was magnificent. But the real stars of the show were the Tibetan people. They were so gentle and well meaning. Altogether a most unforgettable experience."
Marty Fisher, Ohio
“Thanks for the most memorable trip of a lifetime. Rugged as it was, it was exactly what I expected it to be! (And I wouldn’t have changed it for the Ritz Carlton or a cruise ship ever!) This was not a trip for sissies but for those seeking real (soft) adventure. It delivered!”
Carol Bhide, Florida
“This was an adventure! I had a wonderful, memorable time spent in good fun-loving company. Mt. Everest now tops my world travel experiences. Thanks again for this unique opportunity and here’s to future happy traveling.”
Mariella Greenan, Illinois
We’ll travel through Tibet, known to her people as “The Land of Snows” and “The Roof of the World” and considered by them to be the dwelling place of the Gods. With our guides, Sam Su and Lhakpa Dorjee, we will journey through bustling markets, ancient monasteries, the fabulous Potala Palace and some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere. Then, we’ll reach our destination, Mt. Everest, the mother of all the world’s mountains! June and July are among the loveliest months to visit with the best opportunity for distance viewing. Join our small group (of no more than 15 adventurers) and travel in the best of company for this amazing adventure.
Sincerely,
Gwen Erwood
