When everyone talks about Tibet, the focus must be on Everest. That’s why we have chosen Everest as our destination. Tibet is definitely a natural and peaceful, an ideal place for escape from noisy city. Tangola Travels as a travel operator they provided us a professional travel services with a knowledgeable tour-guide named Tashi who is a Tibetan. We learnt a lot of Tibet culture from him. Generally it was a memorable and excellent experience, worth to recommend.
