Tibet and Nepal are both magical destinations!  More than mere tourist destinations, visits to these places have changed many lives. I have been a pilgrim on seven organized trips with three Tibet expert guides.  All were Buddhist or spiritual in nature. Two of the pilgrimages were organized by me for my local meditation center so I have a bit of knowledge about the way these trips are organized.  As a Buddhist and a meditator,  I love the Tibetan culture, art and iconography.   I thought it would be fun to share a few of the things I have learned over the last ten years,  but I am in no way a travel agent or travel expert.  Here, I just present my own opinion and observations.  Maybe it will be useful to you. I am not endorsing any particular Trip or Travel agent, although from time to time I may post information about extraordinary opportunities I hear about. Thanks for visiting!
