Tibet
Tibet is a land of high mountains, ancient monasteries, and deep Buddhist faith. Lhasa is the heart of Tibetan Buddhism. You visit the Potala Palace, the former winter residence of the Dalai Lamas, Jokhang Temple, Drepung Monastery, and Sera Monastery. You see pilgrims walking clockwise around Barkhor Street, spinning prayer wheels and bowing in prayer, and monks debating Buddhist philosophy at Sera Monastery. A Tibet Travel Permit is required for foreign travelers, and Thamel Travels and Tours arranges it for you.
Nepal
Nepal is a land of Himalayan mountains, ancient Hindu temples, and peaceful Buddhist stupas. In Kathmandu Valley, you visit Swayambhunath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, and Boudhanath Stupa. These are UNESCO World Heritage Sites where Hindu and Buddhist people pray side by side. You see pilgrims walking around the stupas, spinning prayer wheels and lighting butter lamps. In Pokhara, you enjoy Phewa Lake, the World Peace Pagoda, and views of the Annapurna mountains on clear days. In Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha, you visit the Maya Devi Temple, the Ashokan Pillar, and quiet monasteries and gardens.
India
India is a land of ancient cities, holy rivers, and living traditions. Varanasi is one of the oldest living cities in India, known for its ghats on the holy Ganga River, the sunrise boat ride and the evening Ganga Aarti ceremony with fire lamps, bells, and chanting. Nearby Sarnath is where the Buddha is traditionally believed to have given his first sermon, and you visit Dhamek Stupa there. In Bodhgaya, you see the Mahabodhi Temple and the Bodhi Tree, linked to the Buddha's enlightenment. Delhi ends the journey with India Gate, Humayun's Tomb, and the historic lanes of Old Delhi.
