While working as a tour guide for seven years, I discovered how much I loved meeting travelers and making their Tibet dreams come true. This led to the creation of my own company, Road To Tibet, in 2007. Fast forward, and I have now welcomed more than 1,500 groups to the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR), Kham, and Amdo. Whatever your interests and budget, I can create the ideal itinerary and take care of all the arrangements for train and overland transportation, domestic flights, hotels, trekking guides, home-stays and special interests such as cycling and photography. Introducing my clients to Tibet and supporting my cultural heritage in this way is an honor I take very seriously. Please feel free to contact me. It's never too early to start planning!

The residence of the Dalai Lama is an immense religious structure and a masterpiece of Tibetan architecture.

Located in the heart of old Lhasa, this circular route is the oldest street in the city dating back to the foundation of the Jokhang

Built in 1416, this is considered one of the largest monasteries in the world with more than 10,000 monks living inside its walls during the height of its activities.

Included on UNESCO's World Heritage list in 2000 as part of the Potala Palace, the Jokhang Temple is in the heart of Lhasa downtown. With an area of 25,100 square meters (about six acres), it is the ultimate pilgrimage destination for Tibetan Pilgrims. As the most sacred temple in Tibet, Jokhang Temple is situated in Lhasa city and attracts many pilgrims to worship and circumambulating around. The temple was founded during King Songtsen Gampo’ reign (617-650 AD). At that time, the King built the temple to welcome his two brides, Princess Bhrikuti from Nepal and Princess Wencheng from China in Tang Dynasty. Both princesses brought statues of Jowo Sakyamuni as their dowries, therefore, Songtsen decided to build a temple to house these important statues. Together with Jokhang Temple, Ramoche Temple was built as well to place the statue brought by Princess Wencheng. Later, the statue was moved to Jokhang Temple as well for better protection.
