Trips to Tibet - 2003 to 2010
For the past eight years I have traveled to Tibet to enjoy its beauty and culture. In this web I recount my experiences, year by year as they occurred, the situations I encountered and my reactions to them. These adventures continue to unfold and my involvement with the culture becomes more profound each year. The culture has left an imprint on me and I hope I have had a small, but positive effect on these lovely people.
My adventures take place in the eastern part of
Tibet; the Amdo region in eastern Qinghai Province and southern Gansu and
the
Kham region in western Sichuan Province. At this time a foreigner
cannot travel alone in the former Tibet so I don't go there. Maps
_________________________________________________________________ If you are ever in Kangding, stop by The Village Window, a cozy hang out for Tibetans and tourists, located at the Kangding Hotel next to the Ngachu Gompa. This combination pub and tea room radiates with Tibetan charm and hospitality, serving Chinese tea, Tibetan butter tea, beer and barley wine. Meet the locals, some of whom speak English, Chinese and Tibetan, get tourist information, advice on accommodations, and road conditions. Don't miss this warm, comfortable meeting place that may turn out to be the highlight of your trip.
