I always wanted to see Tibet, but was not quite sure how to begin with. Then a good friend of mine recommended me “Adventures in Tibet”, a travel agency owned and operated by trustworthy and friendly local Tibetan people. I am glad that I contacted the right people and I really had a fun-filled vacation last summer. It was a life time experience visiting beutiful Lhasa and surrounding areas. I am looking forward to visiting Tibet again soon!
