Five Things to do in Tibet: Tibet has become a popular tourist destination after its opening in the mid-1980s. Yet, it remains the most misinformed tourist destination in the world. Many travellers want to travel to Tibet for its mysterious landscapes, Its unique culture and its spiritual value in the spiritual world.

But many visitors don’t have any ideas about what to do, how to travel to Tibet, Tibet Travel regulations and what to expect while in Tibet.

This Guide on Five Things to do in Tibet is the accumulated expriences of our company for 2being a tour guide for the last five years and being a tour operator for the previous three years. So here are things I would suggest you do in Tibet while you are visiting the place.

Here are Five Things to do in Tibet

1) Explore the old Lhasa city on your own

The old city of Lhasa is the place surrounding the Jokhang Temple. It was a limited parameter of Old Lhasa city before the ’50s. Local still recognize it as a Lhasa and outside this parameter as outskirt of Lhasa. However, many travel agencies don’t have this in their itineraries, and many don’t even mention the old city of Lhasa.

For some reason, many of my visiting friends are saying I am not here to visit the monastery only, which many tour providers do. But we think it would be in your best interest to explore the old city in your self. Many shops are selling local delicacies and local handicrafts. Also, local children would greet you Halo as soon as they see you.

Many of the houses in the old city were built before the last century, and this gives you real good changes to see the architecture of Tibet house. You can hop in some courtyard to see how Tibetan live their life. Many of the courtyards have a tea house where you can sip with locals. Visiting Tibetans in their set-up could give a different experience for you and could be an excellent opportunity to take a picture.

2) Eat out in a Dine with culture show restaurant

Your travel agency could arrange your dinner at dining with culture show restaurant. In the peak season of August and September, you might have to book in advance. You might ask your tour operator for a complimentary dinner in that restaurant. Many travel agencies are generous enough to invite you and your group for dinner with the culture show as we do.

There serve you good local Tibetan food, plus you would have the opportunity to listen to the local Tibetan songs and dances. There are many occasions where our guest takes part in the dance. Your guide could also brief you about the songs and dances of Tibet. Tibet is known as the ocean of music and dance in China. We have a long history of the song and the great diversity of Songs and Dance. You can find list of Best Restaurants in Lhasa : where to eat in Lhasa?

3) Visit a Tibetan nomad, if possible, camp a night in a nomad settlement.

Traditionally Tibetan is divided into two significant professionals; the farmer and the nomad. Nomad is unique in Tibet. They live a short life with fundamental amenities. There are genuinely a nonpossessive of worldly wealth. They live their life depending on what nature could give them in this harsh and extreme weather of high plateau. There are many occasions every traveller has the opportunity to get closer and live a moment with them. But many swap this opportunity in a rush. If you are travelling in Tibet, you might find time to visit a nomad.

We would recommend you to take a day tour to Namtso, which could give you a golden opportunity to meet the nomads. Your might can talk to your tour guide and ask them if you can visit nomad. Then, we would recommend a night camp with the nomad and live their life for a day.

4) Visit Tibetan farmers family

While in Tibet, you are not here to see the monasteries and drive through the beautiful landscape. Why not visit a Tibet village a visit a Tibetan family. We are very welcoming, and we treat the guest as the most crucial person in the family. Many factors might have influenced you to visit Tibet. The Tibetan culture and Tibetan should be the main influencing factor in visiting our great land. So why not see them in their normal life set.

When you are travelling, you could ask the guide and the driver to stop by some village for an hour or two for you to visit a town and some family. My guest would often stop by the city, participate in the village ceremony, and work in the fields for some hours. For example, we had a client from England last year, instead of visiting the Everest Basecamp. He stopped at a village on the way and take part in a temple building. We stayed in a village guesthouse, and every villager is happy to have a foreign friend making them laugh. He was telling me it was the greatest experience of the entire trip.

On your way, there are many Tibetan Home restaurants. You could ask your guide to recommend you one and ask them to stop by one. in those family restaurants, your host will sing for you, dance for you and you can even wear the local dress and pose a picture with them.

5) Circumambulate the temples with locals and drink tea at a local tea house like local.

Advice is to live a local life for a day. Every morning the locals of Tibet would go for circumambulation of either Jokhang temple or the Potala Palace. After circumambulating those two holy places, people would go to the Tea shop to drink plenty of tea. Tibetans are very fond of drinking tea. There would sometimes have Tibetan noodles. If you go for the circumambulation and then the tea house, you will meet loads of local people and experience their life for a day. If you are a photographer, this could give you are a great time to take a picture with a tale.

Above is the thing you can do in Tibet which your Tibet travel agency would not mention to you. Enjoy. but remember to discuss the ideas with your guide, and the tour provides further instructions and feedback…
