Handcrafted, Private Tours to Tibet
Overview
You want to do things your way. We get it. MIR has been planning custom, private tours from scratch for over three decades, and we understand just how important flexibility is in travel.
Traveling privately on a custom private tour affords a great deal of flexibility – flexibility to immerse yourself in your own exclusive experience, to craft an itinerary around your interests, to go at your own pace, and to travel when it’s right for you.
How does it work? We’ll connect you with one of our Private Tour Designers so that you can share your vision and expectations with us.
We’ll ask you questions to better learn about your interests: Want to meet local Tibetans and try your hand at bargaining for turquoise jewelry, carpets, yak wool boots, and fur hats trimmed with brocade at a local market? How about taking some time to watch monks engage in a lively debate at a local monastery?
We’ll share our extensive experience in the region – and our suggestions. And then we’ll dig into it and custom-craft a private tour itinerary for your review. Give us a call at 800-424-7289 to get started, or click here to be on your way.
Signature Experiences
Below are just a few examples of the signature experiences that MIR can arrange for you in Tibet. Let them be a source of inspiration, then get in touch with one of our Private Tour Designers to craft an itinerary that’s uniquely suited to your travel goals, budget, and style.
- Don an apron for a cooking class of traditional Tibetan dishes with a local chef, and then together enjoy your meal while sipping Tibetan butter tea and barley wine
- Visit a clinic of traditional Tibetan medicine (Sowa Rigpa) where harmony of “vital humors” is sought, and procedures include cupping, acupuncture, and astrological readings
- Meet a local Tibetan family, learning firsthand the authentic customs and age-old traditions woven into their daily lives, community, and region
- Let your jaw drop at the Mt. Everest Viewpoint, with its sweeping 360-degree views of the world’s highest peak (29,029 feet), along with four other sky-high Himalayan mountains.
