EBC Tour; From Lhasa via Everest Base Camp to Kathmandu; Price 830 Euro/ Arpil 03 & 17 / click here for informationUpper Mustang Kingdom Tour in Nepal English speaking Nepalese Guide:This is, arguably, the most popular and fascinating trekking in Nepal . Mustang opened to trekkers only in 1992. The ancient kingdom is located in the very north of Nepal , close to the Tibetan border, amidst Himalayan snow peaks. A vast expanse of rock, wilderness of huge proportions, the region formerly belonged to Tibet and the area remains are strongly influenced by Tibetan culture. Mustang offers a truly exceptional opportunity to explore an area rich in ancient tradition and mythology. Mustang is one of the oldest kingdoms in the Himalayas and its capital, Lo Manthang, has been a major trading site for many centuries. Experience one of the last ancient places of Tibetan Buddhist culture – the culture of the Lopas, who still practice ancient daemon rituals. detailed tour description by e-mail upon request pictures & more April 10.- April 25.; 2012 / Price around 1350 Euro depending on group size Bookings are open First Kailash - Trip of the season Budget Trip via Kodari with optional Lake Kora The early trip in the year is one of my favorite, it is because the nature in the holy region is very untouched with almost no people, moreover Lake Manasarovar is fully or partially frozen during this time and there will also be snow along the Drolma La Pass. It is a journey for people who like the pure and deserted nature on such powerful place. During the trip, one gets the chance to see the amazing beauty of the scenery that one can imagine and during this season it will be quite cold with some snow.

17. Mai - 2. juni 2012 / Price 890 Euro equivalent von 8500 RMB 2 PAX needed to confirm the trip Extensive Mt. Kailash VIP Tour & Gyantse, Saga Dawa Festival with Monica. & Lhasa Extension possible Every year at Saga Dawa (the day of Buddha's enlightenment, nirvana and paranivana) the monastery celebrates a big festival over four days. This festival is not well known, which ensures that there will not be many tourists. Over the four days one has the chance to see the vivid way Tibetan pilgrims join the fire puja, Lama dances, Sand Mandala puja and finally the unrolling of the giant silk thanka. This is the oldest scroll painting in Tibet, dating back 480 years and measuring approximately 40 x 60 m. Indeed I consider this one of the most genuine festivals in Tibet, where one has the chance to get to know Tibetan pilgrims and sense the relaxed way they participate in Tibetan Buddhism and folklore. Furthermore at the time we are circumambulating Mt. Kailash there is a constant merit of 100 thousand times due to the sacred month of Saga Dawa. detailed tour description by e-mail upon request. more information

Kailash Saga Dawa Festival Trip (extensive) 2011 is a special year in Tibetan Buddhism, when pilgrimage is particularly meritorious. During the period of the Saga Dawa month, one circumambulation of the mountain is popularly considered to have the merit of a 100 thousand times on top of that to be purifying one life time. At time for the full moon of Saga Dawa ( Buddha's day of enlightenment and paranirvana ) more pilgrims than usual visit Kailash. In Tarpochen, at the foot of the holy mountain, there will be a big Buddhist festival. Tarpochen represents the navel of the world and every year Tibetans erect here a giant pole while many other ceremonies and rituals are carried out. This is certainly the most important day for Tibetan pilgrims at Mt. Kailash. You will have more time than usual at Lake Manasarovar so that it is possible to do this kora as well and finally you can extend a visit of Lhasa if you like. May 20. - 06 June ; 2012/ Price 890 Euro (equivalent of 8'500RMB) Bookings are open Saga Dawa with Laetitia - VIP Tour to Mt. Kailash Saga Dawa Festival & Lhasa Extension possible. The Tibetans say that a complete pilgrimage should include the three holy places Kailash, Manasarovar and Tirthapuri. We will visit these three places during Saga Dawa, the most important festival in Tibet, which marks Buddha’s birth, enlightenment and death. Many Tibetans visit Kailash during this time. We will experience the highlight of the festival: the annual raising of the Tarpoche prayer pole, centre of the universe according to Tibetan mythology. First, we visit the holy springs of Tirthapuri. Then follows the core of this journey: an unhurried four-day circuit trek (kora) among Tibetan pilgrims around holy Mt. Kailash followed by a visit of beautiful Lake Manasarovar. During the best time of the year, we enjoy silence and nature, spectacular panoramic views, as well as interaction within the group. detailed tour description by mail upon request Photo Gallery 23.May - 07.

visit of Mt Kailash - Gurla Mandata and Everest base camp: We will circumbulate the most important mountain (Kailash: 6714m ) and visit the highest ( Everest 8850m) and in between we will rest at the foot of the Power mountain ( Gurla Mandata 7728m). At the center of this journey are the mountains and nature, so while walking and just being we can feel the strength of the Himalaya in silence. With this in mind, within the group companionship and friendliness are of great importance. September is the best time, when we can expect cloudless blue skies. We plan to see the mountains from the best side in very clear light. After a slow Kailash kora/trekking (four days) we will have a rest day beside Lake Manasarovar at the foot of Gurla Mandata. On our way back we will travel to Rombuk and from there to EBC (Everest Base Camp). Detailed description by separate mail on request.
