Explore The Pristine Outdoors With Tibet Mountain Touring

By Carl Russell


Without a doubt, Asia is among the top destinations to go on vacation. It has a global reputation for its spectacular series of hills and mountains that offer the best platforms for trekking. Tibet mountain touring is one highly sought activity by vacationers.

There is always a mysterious feel to Tibet. One of the gems found in the country is the Himalayas. This mountain range is always flocked by trekkers all year round. There are many great lakes, monasteries and national parks that dot the surroundings as well. Whether you are looking for a classic foot hiking experience or an exploration on horseback, you should be able to get just what you need.

It is fairly easy to travel up and down the local trails no matter how skilled or experienced you are. The most traveled and longest trail in the country is the trail from Gandan to Samye. In case your itinerary takes you there, be prepared to spend at least five days on the road. Many tourists visit to check out the famous 5000m passes along the route. These are the Chitu La Pass and the Shuga La Pass.

The best thing about trekking is that it also gives one the opportunity to explore the local culture. The routes are littered with nomad camps, monasteries and other sacred sites. The two most significant religious centers in the nation are the Samye and Gandan monasteries.

A complete exploration of the Shalu to Nartang trail takes between two and three days. It is known to be the shortest trek around. It was historically used by traders exploring the markets in the region. This is supported by the notable rock inscriptions made by ancient travelers along the route. Canyons and villages also dot the trail.

The Mount Kailash trail is a challenging route that you should also explore. Pilgrims flock it for most of the year. This is due to its status as the most religiously significant mountain in the continent. You get a physical, spiritual and cultural dimension just from exploring this trail. The route is also blessed with lush vegetation.

Another great route to check out is the Tsurphu to Yangpachen trek. There are lots of magnificent valleys along the way, with the imposing Yangpachen Valley marking the end of the trail. The best features of this trip are the hot springs, nomadic culture, monasteries and alpine tundra. If you have always wondered how nomadic herders live in the alpine tundra, this trip would be perfect for you.

Your trip will be incomplete without an exploration to Everest base camp. It offers an unhindered view of the tallest mountain on earth, not to mention the magnificent wildlife. The tall glacial formations and valleys are simply glorious to watch.

Winter, from November to March, is not an ideal time to visit. By then, the roads and mountains are largely inaccessible as a result of heavy snowfall. The rains also pound the area from July to August, creating a mess in the trails.
