Six highly enjoyable days
We took the six day centralTibet cultural tour and it was a huge success. Well organised and a very nice small group. The monasteries are truly fascinating and preserve old Tibetan values. The people and the colours were all fascinating. The people are so friendly and outgoing. The monasteries and traditional buildings have the original colours preserved and it is a visual feast. Accommodation and food were excellent. We’re taken to real Tibetan restaurants and sampled Tibetan food and drink. Great opportunities for tourism but also real detail to preserving the unique heritage of Tibet. Our guide for the trip, Tsedon, was a marvel of knowledge, helpfulness and patience. She has endless energy and a real interest in her work. We really could not have asked for more. One caveat, Do not go to the Hilton in Shigatse. I have stayed in many Hilton hotels but this one lets the side down. Poor by any standards but particularly bad when judged by Hilton standards. That, is outside the control of Tibet Vista and I would not take away from my praise for the excellent and enjoyable trip. Richard and Mary Irwin – Ireland.
