Spiritual Journey to Tibet ~ May 14 - 30, 2010
Join Lynne Wiggins, Tibet Aid for a two weeks journey to Tibet. We begin our trip in Kathmandu where we spend a few days visiting the Tibetan Community, Boudhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath, Kathmandu City and Patan. We then fly to Lhasa and spend the next 6 days visiting Lhasa and its out lying areas. The city is home to the Potala Palace, Jokhang, the Barkhor and the Sera and Drepung Monasteries. For two nights we leave Lhasa and drive to Drikung out in the countryside and experience the life in a Gear or Nomad Camp. From there we visit Nambar village where Lynne Wiggins’ former groups have helped to build a school and medical clinic. Our journey continues as we drive to Shigatse and Gyantse and then on to Tashilunpo and Tingri. Our trip ends with a spectacular drive to the border of Nepal and our final night is spent in Kathmandu.
