Trip Overview

【The Hallmarks of a DeWonder Travel Tibet Itinerary】

The DeWonder Travel team takes you to visit the region's most important monasteries, giving you insight into the social significance and symbolism of Buddhism in Tibet; step into the homes of Tibetan locals to understand their daily lives and their views on the social changes of recent years; admire Mount Everest up close and visit the world's highest monastery; visit a thangka academy and paint your very own one-of-a-kind thangka artwork. Throughout the journey you will stay in premium hotels, offering a comfortable place to rest and making it easier to acclimatise to the high plateau.

We will take part in the Shoton Festival—Tibet's most important festival. The Shoton Festival is held each year from the end of the sixth to the beginning of the seventh month of the Tibetan calendar, when tens of thousands of Buddhists make their pilgrimage to Lhasa to worship the Buddha with the utmost devotion. "Shoton" means "yoghurt banquet" in Tibetan; besides eating yoghurt, there are also Tibetan opera performances and the Buddha-unveiling ceremony, making for a grand and lively spectacle.
