incense as they circumambulate the holy Buddhists sites to pay veneration to
the Shakyamuni.
You will start from the sand dunes along the Brahmaputra basin.
Through the high passes ornamented with colorful flags beating endlessly
against the stone cairns,
to the blue salt lakes of Namtso, you will travel an ancient trail alive with
color, ritual, and history. The own
unique cultures and traditions of the Tibetans Monpas, Lhopas, and Moslems and
their style of large exciting celebrations will keep you astonished.
Outside the cities, you will meet natives in their long
chubas and exquisite turquoise jewelry who will share with you whatever little
they have, exhibiting inspiring Buddhist compassion.
So come and visit the land rich in mountains, monks, mystery,
and adventure. Catch the truly nomadic lifestyle and share your experience with
your friends.
