Traveler Reviews

  • "From the steps of the Potala Palace to the steppes of Mongolia, from spinning prayer wheels to sheep with their nomadic herders, this trip is a feast for the senses. The colors and images inside the monasteries, the sound of the horse-head Mongolian fiddles, the taste of yak-butter tea, the smell of incense burning, etc. All of these combine for an overriding impression of this stunning region of the world."

  • "This was an incredible trip – going into a world so unlike my own and yet realizing the similarities: We all work, try to raise and educate our children, and be neighborly."
