Results for "Tibet"

J'aimerais offrir un livre sur le Bouddhisme. Un livre très "basique", genre "le bouddhisme pour les nuls". Un ouvrage simple, expliquant le pourquoi, le comment et joliment illustré.

Que me conseillez-vous ?

D'avance, je vous remercie de vos réponses.

Bonjour à tous,

je recherche hotels pas chers à Darjeeling et Kolkatta (entre 300 et 600 roupies).

Merci de vos réponses

Est-ce que qq a des expériences ou des conseils à donner concernant des ashrams en Inde ou au Népal (y compris des monastères tibétains) où peuvent séjourner et étudier des étrangers?

Merci bcp,

En partance pour l'inde fin octobre, je me pose encore quelques questions malgré mes recherches. Nous avons prévu un atterrissage sur Delhi durant 2-3 jours avec un hotel dans le quartier Tibétain. Est-ce un quartier sympa ? n'est il pas trop éloigné du centre ? Sortir le soir sur delhi est ce facile ? Quel quartier ? Ensuite -direction Darjeeling et le Sikkim pour une quinzaine de jours avec arrêt a Varanasi à l'aller ou au retour. Coté train (nuit) la 2ème classe est elle correcte ? L'Inde m'est totalement inconnue, en Thailande la 2ème classe est sympa et permet de voyager en sécurité avec les locaux. Patna (puis Bogdaya) vaut le détour ?

Si nous avons quelques jours d'avance sur notre planning, nous comptons aller à Agra, puis mettre un pied au rajasthan (Jaipur, Pushkar), au total 5 jours. Vaut-il mieux envisager le train pour y aller ou une voiture avec chauffeur ?

Merci à tous.😊

Bonjour à tous,

je pars cette été au Ladakh, et je me demande quelles sont les possibilités pour communiquer avec les ladakhis, niveau linguistique:

Apprendre quelques bases de ladakhi ou de tibétain, l'anglais (les enfants le parlent-ils hors de Leh?). Concretement, dans les petits villages loin de Leh, les habitants parlent-ils anglais? Si non, quelques conseils pour apprendre le ladakhi, car je n'ai presque rien trouvé comme ressource ...

Merci, Guillaume.

Salut tout le monde,

Quelqu'un sait-il comment se rendre à Mundgod, dans le Karnataka, depuis Bombay-Goa, et les différentes possibilités de logement existantes sur place ?

Peut-on séjourner à la Tibetan Colony ?

Merci d'avance !

Hello fellow travelers,

I’m looking for a travel companion (male or female) from mid-October to mid-November as I’m planning to head back to China, specifically the Sichuan region, famous for its pandas, Tibetan culture in the west with its mountains, traditional villages around Chengdu, and renowned for its cuisine. I also plan to visit Chongqing nearby. I really enjoy connecting with locals (Chinese people are super friendly).

I’ve traveled in China before, the visa is still free this year. I use local transport—buses and trains. I travel light and can adapt easily. The destination is budget-friendly. No pressure to spend every day together—communication and respect for each other’s choices are key. For flight pricing reasons, I’m likely departing from Brussels. If you’re interested, feel free to DM me to chat! 😊

hello fellow travelers For my golden years, I'd like to drive to India in my 508. I want to avoid Iran and Pakistan. Instead, I’m thinking of going through Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, then taking the ferry from Baku to Türkmenbaşy in Turkmenistan, followed by the Silk Road through Central Asia—Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.

After that, China? I’ve seen that some travelers manage to drive through China with their own vehicle... Then Tibet, Nepal, and India... But things get tricky with the Himalayan crossing. I’ve checked on Google—it looks tough.

Any tips or info on these routes? Thanks

I'm seriously considering heading to Nepal to do some nice motorcycle loops... my goal is also to do the Kailash Yatra round trip from Kathmandu, in a small group with a guide, in May '26... but here's the thing—I'm solo! So if you're up for sharing a similar adventure, hit me up... Cheers, Frankoys

Namaste everyone,

We went to Nepal last October and literally fell in love with this country (like so many others, it seems). During our trek, we had the chance to meet and travel with an incredible independent local guide, Apsara Luitel. She told us about a unique project she’s organizing starting mid-May, and we wanted to share it in case it interests anyone. We mentioned it on another travel forum, but just in case, we’re posting it here too to reach as many people as possible.

Apsara, who knows the Api mountain valley (a name as joyful as it is intriguing!) in Nepal’s Far West (on the border between India and Tibet, at the edge of the world) perfectly, is offering an off-the-beaten-path trek for a group of 3 to 8 people max. The program? An authentic and preserved itinerary combining homestays and small mountain lodges, all the way to the Api base camp. Once at base camp, locals will guide us to secret spots only they know, where we’ll harvest yarsagumba (those famous caterpillar-fungi, rare and prized for their medicinal properties in traditional Chinese medicine—they were going for $20,000 per kilo last year!).

Mid-May is the ideal time to discover this almost unexplored region and take part in harvesting these natural treasures. This kind of adventure, led by an inspiring young woman like Apsara, is rare, and we think it could appeal to Nepal lovers and those who enjoy authentic treks far from the usual tourist routes.

No matter how many participants there are (between 3 and 8), there will always be two guides: Apsara, who speaks English (and is learning French!), and a French-speaking guide. The dates are flexible around May 15th, depending on the availability of those who’d like to take on the adventure.

Hi there,

I’m looking for a group of camper van travelers to cross China in September 2025, from Kyrgyzstan to Laos via Lhasa (no visa required for Europeans if staying less than a month).

Hello, If Ethiopia fascinates you, draws you in, and like me you don’t want to visit this country solo… maybe we could exchange ideas with the goal of sharing a driver and a French-speaking guide (?). I’ve traveled a lot on my own (Peru, West Africa, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, a few European countries, some U.S. states, Greece, Mexico, etc.—backpacking, hostels, public transport, local restaurants), also with a friend (Iran, Tibet, China, Russia, Gabon, South India), with my husband (Egypt, Vietnam, Canada 3 times, Florida, Jordan, North India, Dominican Republic, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, among others). He doesn’t want to travel anymore, my girlfriends aren’t interested in Ethiopia, and I don’t feel like going alone this time.

My last solo trip was last October (2024) in San Francisco. I loved it. I’m in my seventies now… pfff… but in great shape, physically resilient, good walking endurance, 40 years old in my head… I love music, I choose restaurants more for the local vibe than the menu (I adapt)… no fixed schedule, but I can adjust there too—sandwich or fruit for lunch, a little beer in the evening, and most importantly: no stress! Cool, cool… When traveling as a duo, if one of us wants to spend the day or evening alone, we meet up afterward, and it’s perfect. I’m more talkative in writing than in person—I love listening! So… if the adventure tempts you, don’t hesitate.

I’m in touch with a woman currently there who gave me the contact info for the guide she’s traveling with in the southern region, near the Omo tribes (she has a Facebook companion).

I spoke on the phone this morning with a "seasoned traveler" —we have a lot in common, and we’d be up for going together.

Forming a small group (4/5 people) would be ideal. February is a great time (climate-wise). The south is generally safer than the north, but nothing’s set in stone—nothing’s planned yet. Everything’s open to discussion and we’ll figure it out together!

Best to you, and looking forward to exchanging ideas!

There’s a similar discussion about India, by the way...

I really, really want to go back to China, but since the country is evolving at lightning speed, I’m wondering. I went there nearly 20 years ago. It was already undergoing a lot of changes, slowly but surely, but I still have wonderful memories of the country, which I found so endearing at the time. I visited Beijing, Sichuan, Guangxi, Hainan, and also Tibet by train, then Xinjiang. Now, we’re mainly considering Gansu and Hunan.

It was still possible to get 60-day visas back then, which isn’t the case anymore since they’re now limited to 30 days. But at the same time, the country seems more accessible. Many hotels are open to foreign tourists, sophisticated transport options have developed everywhere, and it’s possible to visit for up to 15 days without a visa... Tourists can easily travel by train or plane, but to reach places "off the beaten path," it seems you need to rent a vehicle with a driver. There used to be plenty of day-trip group tours, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

It’s hard to find info on whether certain routes are feasible for independent travel.

From what I’ve gathered here and there, "high tech" has taken over the entire country, the countryside has given way to imposing buildings, cities are increasingly industrialized and polluted—basically, the country has become dehumanized... In short, are there still beautiful places left—dare I say preserved—to see?

Add to this the bad reputation, not always justified, that China suffers from. It seems like the country is being boycotted by travel agencies, as if it’s not "politically correct" to visit. Maybe I’m exaggerating, but I’ve noticed this with French agencies like Nomade, Allibert, etc., which used to offer a wide range of itineraries everywhere, especially in Yunnan. Now, they’ve limited themselves to the classics: Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, water towns, or Tibet. Yunnan, Gansu, Qinghai, and many other Chinese provinces are no longer on the menu. Maybe it’s due to COVID...

The destination isn’t exactly a hit on forums either...

So, is it still worth going in 2025? I’d love to hear from those who’ve been there recently. Looking forward to exchanging thoughts on this fascinating destination (from my point of view, of course).

Bonjour,

Je souhaite faire la trans ardennaise à vélo dans le sens charleville-meziere - Dinant (puis revenir en TER avec le vélo) la semaine prochaine. Si certains d'entre vous l'on déjà fait j'ai quelques question) : 1/ Est une simple formalité de revenir avec son vélo en TER de Dinant ? Autrement dit, y a t il systématiquement de la place dans le train en Juillet ? 2/ J'habite à Lille. J'hésite à me rendre jusque jusque charleville-meziere en ter ou en voiture (avec un porte vélo évidemment). Je suis plutôt tenté par la deuxième option car j'ai peur de me faire refouler à la gare avec mon vélo. Qu'en pensez-vous ? Certains d'entre vous l'ont ils déjà fait ?

D'avance, merci pour vos lumières,

HYB

Bonjour

Arrêtez moi, si je dis une bêtise !

pour un voyage avec un véhicule : moto, camping car, 4x4, vélo

il est difficile d envisager de voyager dans un sens ou dans l autre, dans des pays comme la Norvège ou le Chili, etc ...

mais, il est tout a fait envisageable de voyager ainsi dans des pays comme la France, l Espagne, les Etats unis, etc ...

certains, n ayant pas d idée précise, dans quel sens commencer leur périple

donc ma question est de savoir si l on visite un pays dans le sens contraire d une montre : on est susceptible de trouver moins de monde ? ( dans le même sens que nous )

merci d avance
