Northeast Asia · Tibet

Hi everyone,

I’m currently on the lookout for adventure and can’t stop thinking about the Himalayas. My main goal is this: I’d like to make a documentary about the region’s wildlife and flora using my own resources.

For now, I’m planning to stay there for a few months. I’d love to exchange ideas with you all to help me prepare for this trip as best as possible.

I’ve got a few questions in particular: - On this kind of trip, where and how do you find food?

- Which are the quiet spots where you won’t see another soul, and which are the best places to spot wild animals? (I’m guessing the two are connected)

- I’ve read several times that adventure/independent travel can be tricky in certain countries or areas—is that still the case today?

This is also my first solo trip, and I’m wondering if I’m being too ambitious. What do you think?

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

Axel

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to get a SIM card in Tibet in 2025? If not, how can I use the internet there with a French phone? Thanks and have a great day. Aichatou

Hello,

I’m 64 years old, I love traveling and discovering how other people live. I enjoy walking, and my next goal—something I’ve had in mind for 20 years—is to go to Tibet. I want to walk, but without any competitive aim, just to explore and connect with the people there, whom I adore! Performance isn’t my interest; my only goal is to SHARE and EXCHANGE!!!

I’d like to go from village to village without pushing myself in terms of kilometers or time. My aim is simply to walk, discover new things, and above all, share this richness—discover and share!!

Can anyone give me advice on a simple trip to meet these people I’m so eager to discover?

I’m planning to travel at the end of 2016, but I need information about the best seasons to visit this world that lives in near-complete autarky.

Thanks to all of you,

Mireille
