Mountain Leader

Tibet, the name itself evokes feelings of awe and mystery. Spread over a vast expanse of high altitude desert beyond the Himalayas this ancient kingdom is often refereed as Shangri-La, The forbidden Land, The Roof of the World, and by many more the mysterious Buddhist Kingdom. Tibet is not only the geographical and natural enchants but also a long historical culture and religion that appeal the foreigners to visit Tibet at least once in their lifetime.

Tibet is an unforgettable land of curious nomads, mysterious gompas and vast breath-taking panoramas. Tibet is a mystic, mysterious land of ancient Buddhist culture, awesome landscapes, artistic monasteries, exotic cities, hidden valleys and centuries-old caravan trails. Tibet is an extraordinary destination, where adventure lurks around every corner. It is the destination for the ultimate thrill – seekers. Traveling in Tibet isn't an average trip but an experience of a lifetime, which we invite you to take with us. We operate tours and treks to central Tibet, Mount Kailash, Everest Base Camp and Lhasa.

This land beyond the mighty Himalayan on the highest plateau of the world was hardly accessible to the outside world before 1985. Now fortunately there is an opportunity to visit Tibet. It has always been a challenge to all mortal beings. Crossing high desert and driving through over 5000+ meters and at the same time visiting Millarepa's cave; clear view of Mount Everest is visible from a distance, Tibet is the fascinating world of unique tradition; breathtaking sceneries always await travelers to this roof of the world. Tibet is isolated by the high Himalayas and is one of the least developed parts of the world. Facilities are being upgraded and professionalism is still underway. Cold and dusty is the description many people who have visited Tibet. So Go to Tibet for an adventure and not for a luxury. The trip to Tibet is not easy but it is an adventure.

The monasteries, rich in unique statues, paintings (Thankas), religious and historical books, could take weeks to explore. These monasteries, crowded with pilgrims often traveling long distances to fulfill their vow, are testament to the importance; religion still plays in the daily life of the Tibetans. The spiritual and religious nature of Tibetans is evident everywhere. The sights and sounds of the country - be it the monks chanting prayers or prayer flags fluttering in the breeze – are replete with religious tones. Nowhere in the world is religion so much a part of everyday life. This "land of mysteries", a "forbidden land", forbidden not only by man but also by nature, appeals to so many explorers, scholars, pilgrims and adventurers in the past, hoping to find probably a real "Shangri-La".

Since Mountain Leaders' founding in 2000, "The Roof of the World" has consistently proven one of our most popular destinations. Guests return home in awe of the land's natural beauty and the hospitality of a people perpetually tested by the rugged politics and elements that surround them. Whether you travel to understand better its inhabitants and their beliefs or to walk the pilgrimage routes around its sacred peaks, there are endless pathways toward the divine in Tibet.
