South Asian Holidays

It’s a rare traveler who hasn’t dreamed of visiting Tibet. For centuries it was the “furthest goal of travel,” and it remains one of the most beguiling places on earth. We pioneered travel to Tibet a quarter century ago, and our deep affection for the vast sceneries and engaging people of the great plateau remains intense.

South Asian Holidays sends more travelers to Tibet, and knows it better, than any other company in Nepal. Our long experience in Tibet and our decades of partnership with our supremely competent Tibetan associates allow us to craft sublime journeys to one of the world’s most lovely and affecting places. We explore every stretch of the country, from the surprisingly verdant forests of the southeast, to the vast high-altitude desert of the Tibetan Plateau and the remote slopes of Mount Everest itself. We explore the shrines and monasteries of Lhasa, Tibet’s capital and the traditional seat of the Dalai Lama, and Tsedang, birthplace of the Tibetan nation and site of the tombs of the early Religious Kings. And, as always, we travel in good South Asian Holidays style, with an eye for living culture and history and endless, high beauty.
