Tibet Travelers Information

"Tibet Travelers" has the mission of preserving the local culture and environment while offering well organized, professional journeys in Tibet and providing direct employment to local Tibetans by hiring experienced Tibetan locals as collaborating guides and placing our clients in Tibetan owned hotels.

"Tibet Travelers" arranges for you Private Tours, Group Tours, Overland Journeys, Photography Tours, Wildlife Tours, Spiritual Tours, Treks and much more. If so requested, we can also plan and organize together a custom tour tailored to suit your interests. "Tibet Travelers" is started by Tenzin Dhondup. Tenzin was born near Mt.Everest region; listed in the lonely planet guidebook editions as Tenzin, Big Tenzin or Mc Tenzin. Inspired by the beauty, energy, and love for his homeland, he started his career in the tourism industry in 2003 by working at Mt Everest North Face Base Camp in a tent hotel, "Hotel California. The hotel provided basic accommodation needs like beds, hot meals, and tea to trekkers taking the overland route from Lhasa and also providing them with information for safe journeys. Tenzin also worked as a tour guide and porter, assisting climbers heading to the North Face Advance Base Camp on Mt Everest at an elevation of 6,500 meters. In 2005, he relocated to Lhasa where he worked as a tour guide. He led groups to all regions of Tibet and has completed the pilgrimage circuit of Mt Kailash 5 times, something that he feels very blessed to have done. In 2006, based on his valuable experience gained in traveling all across Tibet, he was recruited to work for a very well-known local Tibetan travel agency in Lhasa as a sales manager and an itinerary developer. In the past ten years, he also began learning more things about Tibetan Buddhism and local meditation techniques, gaining valuable knowledge, insights, and experience. In the past 14 years, Tenzin has successfully guided more than 2000 clients from all over the globe while showing them all the beauties and sharing his love and knowledge of his homeland Tibet. Tenzin is also mentioned in the Lonely Planet Guide of 2010 as Mc Tenzin, in another edition guidebook as Tenzin or Big Tenzin
