Tibet was one of those destinations that Nick and I had been dreaming about for years.
While we prefer to travel independently, we knew that it would not be possible in the Tibet Autonomous Region, which is the main reason why we had postponed our Tibet trip for so long.
Chinese government restrictions make it impossible for foreigners to travel to Tibet without a permit. And the only way to get a Tibet permit is by joining a Tibet tour.
These restrictions have been in place for more than 10 years, and there's no indication that they're likely to change. After years of waiting, we finally decided it was time to bite the bullet and book a Tibet tour.
Since private Tibet tours were well beyond our budget, I started searching for a reputable company that offered small group tours.
