There is an old saying in China. It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. Travel can be an enlightening and eye-opening experience for children of all ages. Especially so for an exotic place like Tibet. Its cultural, environment, and language are very different from where you are from. There are new foods, new people, experience and sights, not to mention quality family time. Lhasa-based travel agency, tibettravelexpert.com - Tibet Travel Service, provides you here some insider tips about traveling with children to Tibet on family Tibet tours. Each year many lowland children travel to Tibet uneventfully. As known so far children are not under more restrictions to altitude than adults. While altitude travel in Tibet is without incident for most children, a little precaution is always helpful. ▶ Travel around lower altitude places in Tibet Tibet is very big covering an area about one-quarter as large as the United States, with an average elevation of 5,000 meters, but not everywhere in Tibet is so high up, for example Lhasa is 3,600 meters (11,800 feet) & Nyingchi is 3,100 meters (10,171 feet). These two areas are ideal if you are travelling with children. ▶ Choose a simple itinerary with suitable activities To travel Tibet with children does not mean to climb Mt Everest with your children. There are lots of child-friendly activities and sights which are available in Tibet. For example, there are lamas (Tibetan monks) debating ceremony in Sera Monastery. Lamas dressed in crimson robes gather around in a not-very-big courtyard to debate heatedly about Buddhism with peculiar moves almost like dancing. Your children wouldn’t understand a word the lamas say. But it’s an extraordinary educational sight for them. People can live so differently yet in peace with one another and the world.
