3 Reasons Why You Should Go On a Tibet Vacation Next Summer

  • January 16, 2020
  • admin

Have you ever considered having a Tibet Vacation next summer? There are few daring adventurers that recommend everyone should be visiting Tibet at least once in their lifetime. For the rest, Tibet is a region that is shrouded in mystery and mythology. Many famed stories make the rounds, such as the fact that the mountains of Tibet hide amazing destinations like Shangri-La. But, keeping aside mythical stories and legends, Tibet is a very popular tourist destination. Accessible by train or by driving from Beijing, Tibet is a gorgeous tourist destination and a great place to spend your vacation days.

Nestled on top of the Tibetan Plateau, it is the highest populated region on this planet. Some of the worldโ€™s most massive peaks, including Mount Everest, rise in Tibet as well. If you are thinking of taking a trip next summer, choosing a Tibet Vacation package might be an excellent idea. Here are some common reasons why you should consider going on vacation to Tibet next summer.

Experience the Ancient Culture and Heritages

Tibet is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. The Empire emerged in the 7th century, and there are remnants of that spread throughout the Tibetan Plateau. For many travelers, the main motivation for Tibet vacation is to explore the majestic beauty of this beautiful area and delve into the ancient culture that it has to offer. The Buddhist Kingdom has gained a sense of mystery over the years, as many have revered the monks who live there. Many regard it as the last holy land on this planet.

Itโ€™s a massive area as well, so you are going to get lost in exploring it. Lhasa is the best place to start your Tibet vacation if you want to explore the culture of the city.

The Potala Palace is one of the most prominent buildings in the city, and itโ€™s one of the most bustling places that you are going to see. Not only that but the Jokhang Temple, which is situated right in the city center, is the true spiritual destination. You are going to see pilgrims from all over Tibet traveling here, and it is widely regarded as the most sacred of all temples in Tibet. Barkhor Street is probably the place where you are likely to fall in love with Tibet.

Have a vacation during the Local Festivals

Thereโ€™s no better way to explore the culture of Tibet than by exploring the many festivals in the area. Mount Kailash on Saga Dawa Festival is one of the most popular attractions, and it attracts thousands of pilgrims from all over the world. You will get to hang your prayer flags along with thousands of others, and itโ€™s going to be a remarkable experience for people who are taking too much stress in their lives and need to take a break. You are going to follow the routes taken by the pilgrims as you pay respects to this holy mountain.

Another festival in the summer that you should absolutely not miss out on is the Shoton Festival. Have an early breakfast, then move quickly to find a good position at the Drepung Monastery. Thousands from all over Tibet stand here as they watch the unfolding of the giant thanka. For people who practice Buddhism, this practice signifies the cleansing of the body and the soul. Right after, the Tibetan Opera is going to take the stage, and a Yak race show is going to be held as well. These are some of the โ€œmust attendโ€ activities here.

Throughout the summer months, a series of horse racing festivals are held in Tibet as well. Itโ€™s an ancient tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. These festivals are held on the grasslands of Amdo and Kham. You will see herdsmen wearing their traditional colored garb carrying local products and tents on their backs, as they enter Nagqu. Before you know it, an entire city of tents is going to form before your eyes. A series of exciting games are going to be held here, such as yak racing, archery, and many others. Do you fancy yourself on the back of a horse? Well, why not take part in one of these competitions!

The Scenery

Tibet shows you that this world is beautiful. During the summer months, thereโ€™s no snow to worry about, so you are going to see some of the most beautiful sights across the country. Southern Tibet is the most popular destination for many, mainly because it is home to the largest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. If you are into trekking, this is an excellent destination for many. Northern Tibet, on the other hand, has the worldโ€™s highest railway running through it. It is a very popular destination for people who want to explore the vast plateaus that extend as far as the eye can see!

These are some of the many reasons why you should go on a Tibet vacation next summer. We hope that you like Tibet as we do.
