Join us for traditional tea with a Tibetan family, for a glimpse of daily life in one of the world’s most fascinating countries. Throughout Asia, tea drinking has great social significance and in Tibet, it is the epitome of local hospitality. This may be explained by the remoteness of Tibet; in a country so secluded from the rest of the world, strangers are especially welcome, and you’ll find that the gentle spirituality of Tibetans infuses your visit with simple ceremony and gracious greeting. You will travel to a local traditional home and be greeted by your hosts. Take in their modest surroundings as they show you around. Then, you will sit down to share one of life’s simple pleasures. Perhaps you will try your tea as the locals do…with yak butter. And remember that in Tibet, leaving tea in your cup is an indication that you would like more.
