Literature in the Bardo: Tenzin Dickie on the Past, Present, and Future of the Tibetan Essay

“the essay—as act of truth—changes not just the writer but also the reader.”.

I remember the very first essay that I tried to write. I was in the sixth or seventh grade and my English teacher had told my class, “Write an essay.” He said the word “essay” in English. That was our vacation assignment over the ten day summer break.

My home was a Tibetan Buddhist nunnery in Dharamsala where my father was Principal. Living in a monastic compound surrounded by fields ringed by lesser Himalayan mountains in the distance, there was nothing for me to do but bother my brother, disturb the nuns by skating outside their dorms, and take long walks in the fields. Mostly I was bored out of my mind. Still I wasn’t going anywhere near my assignment until the last day of summer break. Soon enough though, it was the last day of summer break. I had to write an essay.

But what was an essay? My teacher hadn’t bothered to explain it properly. So I went to my older brother, like I still do when I’m at a loss. He said, “It’s a piece of writing. It can be about anything.” Anything. Well then. I started writing. One day, I wrote, I saw a fairy. I was not a mature middle schooler. I kept on writing. My brother leaned over, stifled a smile with all the wisdom of his fifteen years, and said, “One more thing about the essay. It has to be true.”

A piece of writing that has to be true. That’s still as good a description of an essay as any.

Why does the essay have to be true? Why does it matter if the writing is true? Because the truth has power. We recognize the truth when we hear it. It speaks to us.

In the early Buddhist stories, there is something called “an act of truth.” Satyakriya —a declaration of truth, something like ritual speech, which when spoken is like a wish that enacts itself, or a prayer which realizes itself. It’s a declaration of truth, a declaration which by the act of speaking changes—performs—fulfills—an outcome.

This act of truth is illustrated in the Jataka stories, the genre of stories telling of the Buddha’s previous lives. One story tells of a woman listening to a dharma teaching who gets so drawn in that she totally neglects her child. As a result of this neglect, the child gets bitten by a poisonous snake. The poison spreads rapidly throughout the boy’s body—he’s in imminent danger of dying.

When the distraught parents ask a monk for help, the monk says that only an act of truth can save the child’s life. The father starts. He says, “By the truth that I have never seen a monk that I did not think was a scoundrel, may this boy live.” The poison leaves the boy’s legs. Then the mother says, “By the truth that I have never loved my husband, may this boy live.” The poison withdraws further, up to the boy’s waist—the lower part of his body is now free of poison. Finally the monk says, “By the truth that I have never believed a word of the dharma but found it utter nonsense, may this boy live.” The poison leaves the boy entirely. The truth works. The truth heals. The truth wreaks miracles.

This is a higher order of truth. It doesn’t just describe reality, it creates reality.

Another story tells of a woman who was seduced by a king. Her young son wants to meet his father. But at court, the king refuses to acknowledge the child. So the woman throws the child into the air and makes this declaration to the king, “By the truth that you are the father of my child, may he remain in mid-air; but if not, let him fall to the ground and die.” The child remains in the air, and the king, compelled by the power of the truth he cannot deny, embraces the child as his.

The story of a child at court with its parentage in question reminds us of course of another king, another child. In the court of King Solomon, the question was, who is the mother? Who is the father is a generally trickier question. In that story, King Solomon’s justice draws out the truth. In this one, it’s truth that draws out justice.

One lesson I can draw from the act of truth then, the Satyakriya, is that in order to have justice, we must have truth.

The monk in the first story and the boy in the second are said to be the historical Buddha in his previous lives. He’s entirely implicated in the act of truth—he performs the act of truth and the act of truth is performed upon him, which is to say, he is both catalyst for and catalyzed by the Satyakriya.

How is this connected to writing?

An essay is an act of truth. The essayist is both catalyst for and catalyzed by the essay. The essay—as act of truth—changes not just the writer but also the reader. The essay, the personal essay, is a piece of deeply reflective writing and any true reflection—when we express it, when we see it, when we recognize it—changes us.

This brings us to the Tibetan essay. How did the Tibetan essay begin? Who was the first Tibetan essayist? It is worthwhile to try to trace this. Literature is communal culture, accretion as much as innovation. The future is history, as much as anything else.

By 1941, Gendun Chophel, often called Tibet’s first modernist, had finished his long nonfiction tract, his masterpiece, Grains of Gold: Tales of a Cosmopolitan Traveler. But it’s a historical tract, an academic tract. He wrote essays for the Melong , the Tibet Mirror newspaper, but these were academic or argumentative essays, laying out a case, for instance, about how and why the world was round and not flat. He did not write what we would call personal essays.

Then, there is Dhondup Gyal, who many consider to be the first Tibetan essayist, and who is certainly the watershed figure in the brief history of contemporary Tibetan literature. His poem “The Waterfall of Youth”, and his essay “The Narrow Footpath” are both pioneering works. But again, “The Narrow Footpath” is not a personal essay as such.

Both these men inspired a generation of readers and writers; they are the foundational figures of modern Tibetan literature. But regarding the birth of the literary essay, the personal essay, I think it is possible that that parentage may belong to neither Gendun Chopel nor Dhondup Gyal but to Tsewang Yishey Pemba. A practicing Western-trained doctor (the first one naturally), Tsewang Pemba wrote what may be the very first modern personal essays by a Tibetan, in certain of the chapters in his autobiography Young Days in Tibet (1957).

The key thing to note about Dr. Tsewang Pemba? He wrote in English, not Tibetan. The other thing to note is that by the time Tsewang Pemba was writing his personal essays on Tibet, the country had been invaded and occupied by China. Like many of his compatriots, Tsewang Pemba was on the outside, in exile. And he was writing to tell his story to witness and to recover. Which is to say that one of the first modern Tibetan personal essays—perhaps the very first modern Tibetan personal essay indeed—was a literary exercise in recovering the lost land.

This is fitting, because the essay has a long affinity with exile, with distance, with loss. The essay interrogates the interior landscape—perhaps because the familiar exterior one has been lost. Montaigne, who perfected the essay form in the sixteenth century, and from whom we get the word “essay” from the French “ essai ”—for attempts—cut himself off from society and went into a self-imposed exile at home for a decade, during which period he wrote a book of essays.

The Tibetan word for the essay, whether personal and literary or argumentative and intellectual, is tsom . Tsom is both noun and verb. It can mean an essay and a composition. It can also mean to compose, to create, and of course, it can mean to lie, to make up. So, to write, to create, to compose, to lie—all of which is to say, to tell the truth by lying. We know this is what art can do—tell the truth by lying.

One of the very earliest pieces of writing from Tibet is the Old Tibetan Chronicle from the eighth century. The Chronicle tells of the old Tibetan empire, the Yarlung Pugyel dynasty, and King Songtsen Gampo—the Tibetan Arthur and Ashoka—who unified the Tibetan plateau into Tibet. This is the story, from the Old Tibetan Chronicle , of the marriage of Songtsen’s younger sister, the Princess Semarkar.

Princess Semarkar was sent to neighboring Shangshung not simply as a bride but to rule alongside the Shangshung King. Sometime after the wedding, Semarkar sent a message back to Songtsen in a song, a poem innocent in its verses, to the messenger. It was a coded message.

Their political marriage had failed. The message to Songtsen said that Semarkar’s husband, the Shangshung king, was not to be trusted. He had avoided consummating his marriage with her, presumably because he did not want a Pugyel heir to the Shangshung kingdom. Semarkar also sent her brother a sewn headpiece with thirty turquoises, a sign for him to go to war.

In 644, Songtsen Gampo led an invasion with his army, conquered Shangshung and established his Tibetan empire. Was he acting on intelligence provided by Semarkar? I like to think so.

I grew up hearing Songtsen’s name and had no idea that he had a younger sister called Semarkar, or that she was key to his project of empire-building. I love this story because it tells us that one of the earliest pieces of Tibetan writing, one of the earliest and most important communiqués, was a coded message. And a woman wrote it.

Tibetans inside Tibet still write in code. Writings from Tibet still need to be deciphered and interpreted. Because there is so much they can’t say, so little that can be said—truth-telling is not a safe pastime in authoritarian regimes—we need to pay close attention to subtext. Meanwhile in exile, sometimes it can feel as if we say too much; we are always trying to shout, trying to underscore our exile, our occupation. If Tibetan writing from the inside can often feel like code, the writing from the outside can sometimes feel like caricature. They have to conceal, and we have to perform. This is the cross around our necks, for those of us writing in this time.

The best modern Tibetan writing, of course, threads the needle—conceals and performs in just the right way. The modern Tibetan essays collected here, through text and subtext, perform the act of truth.

To speak as Tibetans, to write as Tibetans, is to continually recreate the Tibetan nation.

Gendun Chophel finished his masterwork Grains of Gold: Tales of the Cosmopolitan Traveler by 1941—in the Indian subcontinent, by the way—but it was only published in the 1990s. Interrupted by invasion and occupation, it lay hidden like a buried treasure for decades. (Its English translation, by Thupten Jinpa and Donald S. Lopez Jr., was published in 2014.) Tsewang Pemba’s Young Days in Tibet and Idols on the Path were published, in England, in 1957 and 1966 respectively. His countrymen, in Tibet and in exile, were unaware that such a book even existed.

Nor indeed could they have read it, even if they had been aware of it. It was a casualty of exile. It was only fifty years later when White Crane, Lend Me Your Wings: A Tibetan Tale of Love and War was published posthumously in 2017 that Tibetan readers, and writers, came to know his work. Modern Tibetan literature, written in the in-between, in the bardo , is a literature of interrupted continuities, much like modern Tibetan people. As Tsering Wangmo Dhompa writes, “The people of my childhood having lost everything were continually beginning.”

There’s a genre of traditional Tibetan literature called the “terma literature.” These are Buddhist texts that Tibetans understand to be buried or hidden a millennia ago and revealed hundreds of years later when conditions were more ripe for the Dharma to flourish. If this type of traditional Tibetan literature is concealed in time, a certain type of contemporary Tibetan literature today is concealed in place—texts that are meant to be read and comprehended not hundreds of years later but thousands of miles away.

Lhashamgyal’s The Man Who Can Never Go Home resonates with Tibetan exiles in a way that the Chinese Communist Party censors can’t understand. It’s also a reminder that it’s not just Tibetans in exile who live in exile; not just Lhashamgyal and Woeser in Beijing and the thousands of Tibetans in Chengdu and other Chinese cities, but also the millions of Tibetans who live on their ancestral homeland, exiled from the Tibetan nation. Exile is the essential Tibetan condition today—on and off the plateau.

In many ways I have left my Tibetan refugee settlement in north India. In other ways, I can never leave it. Psychologists use the term ambiguous loss to define a loss for which it is extremely difficult to find closure. This is often a traumatic loss, such as when a parent or a child goes missing in action. In such cases, they have found that the way to finally find some form of closure is to arrive at a place of magical thinking, where the lost person is both gone forever and yet always with you.

For Tibetans, Tibet is our ambiguous loss, our open wound which refuses to close. This is why the twin strands of occupation and exile form the DNA of modern Tibetan literature. Our occupation grows long, as we turn from a single source exile to a multi-strand diaspora. In our writing, we dig deep, deepening the wound but at the same time airing it out. Witnessing, voicing, reclaiming, imagining, creating.

Here is why I think of modern Tibetan literature, a de-territorialized literature that is obsessed with place, with territory, as pre-postcolonial. We are writing, in the bardo, in the in-between transitory period between our old life and the new, toward the future.

I think of these essays as transcribing not just the Tibetan past, not just the Tibetan present, but the Tibetan future.

The World Through a Lens

Scattered Among the Himalaya, Glimpses of a Changing Tibet

An array of forces, including political suppression and the ubiquity of the internet, have made elements of traditional Tibetan lifestyles increasingly challenging.

July 12, 2021

I was sitting inside the dark, yak-hair tent of a nomad family in Ladakh, in the Indian Himalaya. Outside, some scruffy sheep searched for greenery among the cold and barren moonscape, and large raptors circled in the thermals. As we huddled around the hearth, the old man handed me a small glass of salty, yak-butter tea.

“There were wolves here two nights ago,” he told me through a translator. “This time I chased them away, but they will come back again and try and get at my sheep. It’s happening more and more.”

“Everything about being a herder is getting more difficult,” he added. “Maybe my sons won’t want to continue this life. My wife and I might be among the last of the nomads here.”

It was a story I’d heard time and again across the Himalaya and the Tibetan plateau. Whether because of climatic changes, the call of a more comfortable life in the cities, political repression or the demands of education, life is changing fast for the people of Tibet and the surrounding Himalayan regions.

I have been traveling to and walking around the Himalaya and Tibet for some 25 years. During that time, I’ve written a number of guidebooks on the region — for Lonely Planet, Rough Guides and Bradt. I always travel with a local guide who acts as a translator, and I like to spend as much time as I can walking, because doing so increases contact with local people. There’s nothing I enjoy more than sitting down in a remote tea shop or nomad tent and talking to people about their lives.

Defining the borders of Tibet can be difficult. This is because, in some ways, there are several Tibets.

The area we commonly think of as Tibet today — and the area marked on most maps as Tibet — is the Tibet Autonomous Region. This is the second largest region or province of modern China, and its regional capital is Lhasa.

Before Communist forces seized control of Tibet in 1950, it was a functionally independent nation, and its borders were larger than they are today. (China refers to its takeover of Tibet as a “peaceful liberation.” At the time, China says, the new Communist government was reasserting sovereignty over a territory that was lost after the fall of the Qing dynasty.)

Much of what is today the mountainous western part of China’s Sichuan Province was, before the 1950 takeover, politically and culturally a part of Tibet, known as Kham. Likewise, to the north of the Tibet Autonomous Region is the Chinese province of Qinghai; this was also historically a part of Tibet, known as Amdo, though it fell under Chinese control in the 18th century.

And then there are the parts of the Himalaya that are culturally Tibetan even if they have never — or not for a long time, anyway — been politically a part of Tibet. These include the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, parts of Nepal (most notably Upper Mustang and Dolpo, as well as some valleys to the north of the main mountain peaks) and parts of India, especially Ladakh, the setting of a longstanding border dispute .

Tibetans are mostly adherents of their own tradition of Buddhism, and monasteries and nunneries have long been a central part of their culture and life.

The spiritual leader of Tibet is the Dalai Lama, who was based in Lhasa until 1959, when he and many of his supporters fled in the wake of a failed uprising. He’s now based in Dharamsala, in northern India, where an entire Tibetan government in exile has been set up.

There are also large Tibetan exile communities in Nepal, other parts of India and a smaller community in Bhutan.

Chinese domination of Tibet has undoubtedly brought much-needed development and a higher standard of living to the plateau. (In 1959 Tibet was one of the least developed places in Asia.) But it has also brought with it massive suppression of Tibetan rights and the crushing of Tibetan culture and religious practices. Mining and damming have also resulted in significant environmental damage.

Many Tibetans living under Chinese rule have little in the way of freedoms. Positions of power are dominated by Han officials, often from other parts of China. There are widespread reports of human rights abuses , infringement on religious freedoms, allegations of arbitrary arrest and the torture of political prisoners. Tibetans that I know who live in Chinese-run parts of Tibet have told me in private that they feel like they are living in a giant prison and are under constant surveillance .

The Chinese government disputes these claims and says that it has done much to change Tibet for the better — efforts that have put an end to feudal serfdom, profoundly reduced poverty and doubled the life expectancy. Literacy rates have also risen under Chinese rule — to 85 percent today, up from 5 percent in the 1950s.

Because of the suppression of traditional Tibetan life and culture within the Chinese-run parts of Tibet, it’s often easier to find a more traditional classical Tibetan culture in the culturally Tibetan parts of India, Nepal and Bhutan.

But, even in areas where Tibetan culture is allowed to flourish, there have been significant changes in recent years.

In the past, many Tibetans lived a seminomadic lifestyle as they moved with their livestock — often yaks — to and from summer and winter pastures. Today, though, the desire to ensure that children receive the best education possible is making such a lifestyle increasingly challenging. The push to earn a reliable wage in the towns and cities has also meant that many formerly nomadic families have left the mountains behind. Other changes are coming from the increasing construction of roads, widespread ownership of motorbikes, and the ubiquity of telephones and internet.

All of these developments are bringing new ideas, new opportunities and — for better or worse — great changes to traditional Tibetan and Himalayan lifestyles.

Tourism has also played a part in the changes being wrought on the region. In certain areas, a massive trekking and adventure travel industry has developed. While the arrival of thousands of international tourists brings environmental and social changes, it has also allowed families to remain in the mountains and to profit off the nature around them and Tibetan culture.

A case in point would be the nomadic Tibetan family I met on the grasslands of the Kham region, who, working side by side with a local guesthouse, were offering tourists the chance to stay with them in their traditional yak-wool tent and learn something of traditional Tibetan nomadic life.

In addition to generating much-needed income for their family, they were also retaining pride in their traditional way of life — and finding the means to carry it on for another generation.

Thubten Jigme Norbu. Tibet is My Country: Autobiography of Thubten Jigme Norbu, Brother of the Dalai Lama. Boston: Wisdom Publications, 1987.

Review by Misha Kaufman November 2, 2009

Review of Tibet is My Country

Abstract Tibet is My Country is a beautiful account of the life of Jigme Norbu, the eldest brother of the 14th Dalai Lama. His story begins with his birth at Tengtser in 1922 and ends with the exile of the 14th Dalai Lama in 1959. Norbu’s story is an important one for the overall history of Tibet. He was born as the reincarnation of a Tagster Monk, and therefore enters into the monastery at a very early age. The majority of the book focuses on Norbu’s time in the Kumbum, Dreprung and Shartsong Ritro monasteries before he is forced to flee. Norbu makes touching accounts of the separation from his family and friends in order to enter the monastery, and we see the importance that childhood and family has throughout his life. Later as Norbu grows he is able to accomplish a considerable amount, including becoming the Abbot of Kumbum. In this position Norbu has direct interactions with prominent world officials such as Chiang Kai-Shek and Nehru. Norbu plays a crucial role in warning Lhasa and his brother of the expanding power of the Communist party. The party is clearly the enemy in Norbu’s account and the reason for his exile as well as the home he loves so much. His journey includes the death of the 13th Dalai Lama, prominent characters such as Reting and Taktra, and a firsthand account of the rise of his own brother to the head of the Tibetan faith.

Book Review: Thubten Jigme Norbu was born in Tengster Tibet in 1922. Tengster was a small town, in Amdo close on the border between China and Tibet during a time of serious internal strife within China. The quaintness and low means of Norbu’s upbringing is something that he emphasizes throughout his book. His house had no windows, and had only four rooms including a kitchen, guest room, master bedroom and larger bedroom. Norbu’s living situation was not a bad one; according to the livelihood of the people living around him, his family were middle to upper class. However, it is interesting to see the transition that takes place later in the story where the family moves into their own palace due to their new status as the Dalai Lama’s family. The major aspect emphasized throughout the book is Norbu’s love for his family as well as his childhood. As a child Norbu would play games with his friends and help his mother and father with various chores and religious ceremonies. Norbu had an especially close relationship with his mother whom he felt to be extremely loving and accommodating. Throughout his life in the monastery (which he enters at the age of nine) and as an adult he laments his childhood and the home cooked pastries made by his mother. This provides for one of the more interesting and important elements of the book, the role of family. In Tibetan history, the role of the family is diminished in favor of a religious and or global approach. Norbu makes it clear however that family was the most important aspect of his life, greater than any type of religious or national ties.

The central characters in Norbu’s story revolve around his family and close monk officials who act as the extension of his ‘monastic’ family. These characters include Norbu’s father and mother, as well as his older sister of whom he was very fond. Of course the Dalai Lama plays a very important role in Norbu’s life as well but that will be discussed at a later moment. Norbu’s father (Chokyong Tsering) is depicted as a hard but loving man, who loves his family and Norbu deeply. It is Chokyong that takes the time to travel and visit Norbu at the Shartsong Ritro [Sha rdzong] and Kumbum [Sku ‘bum] monasteries and finally agrees to let him come to Lhasa. Chokyong is depicted as a man of great stature and importance within the family’s life. As much as Norbu evolves and grows throughout the book, so too does Chokyong Tsering. When Norbu finishes his great journey from Kumbum to Lhasa, he notes the change that occurs in his father who appears so dignified and noble, no longer a simple villager in Tengster. Chokyong even receives a new name Gyayap Chenmo, that accompanies his new status as the father of the Dalai Lama. The account of Norbu’s father is also important from a historical perspective where many historians such as Melyvn Goldstein depict a strong-willed forceful character that doesn’t exist as much within Norbu’s history. After Chokyong’s death in 1947 there is a beginning of the disintegration of Norbu’s own family unit, and he begins a long expedition that takes him to India, China and back to Kumbum where he becomes the abbot. As much as Norbu’s father represents the evolution of the Dalai Lama’s father, Norbu’s mother (Dekyi Tsering) is depicted as the embodiment of consistency. She rarely shows animosity towards her children and she always shows love towards Norbu, constantly sharing treats with him as well as pastries. It is his mother that Norbu constantly misses and reminisces about as he is in the monastery. She is clearly depicted as providing the “love” for the family.

The monastic life plays a crucial role within Norbu’s life as well, but it is a transition that occurs slowly due to the sheer love and reverence he holds for his family. Norbu enters the monastery in 1931, at the age of nine, at a place called Shartsong Ritro not far from his hometown of Tengster. After Shartsong Ritro, Norbu enters the Kumbum Monastery where he stays as a monk until 1941 when he enters the Drepung Monastery (outside of Lhasa) in order to be closer to his family. Throughout his time in the monasteries Norbu laments his family’s departure and wishes that that they would take him home. But over time he gets deeply involved in his studies and he is able to learn a considerable amount. Norbu is blessed with a tremendous amount of intellectual ability that allows him to memorize and learn very quickly. This monastic lifestyle is something that is focused on heavily throughout the book, and it involved extremely rigorous training. Norbu was expected to memorize thousands of Buddhist texts, and prostrate in front of the Buddha’s constantly. Within this very academic structure it was essential for Norbu to pass a variety of tests and debates in order to gain higher prestige within his monastery. Each successful test was greeted with a great deal of pride and respect from the community as well as his family. In the book the importance of the Tibetan festivals is stressed. In these festivals everyone has an amazing time and huge beautiful butter sculptures are made. At Kumbum in 1939 (age seventeen), Norbu hires an artist to create a gigantic butter sculpture of Lhasa as well as the people in it. These festivals are emphasized by Norbu as creating a semi-nationalist identity where monks and laymen can admire its significance and come together to have a great time. Norbu’s studies are a important part of his life, as a monk he was expected to perform high quality work and to achieve a great deal of knowledge of his Buddhist texts. One tradition that is emphasized in his book is that of the debates between the monks on philosophical and theological matters. Norbu is extremely good at this, but, as external pressures begin to expand, his work begins to suffer. Norbu makes a point to minimize the religious parts of his background in the book, but there is an undercurrent throughout that illustrates his highly religious side. In no place is this clearer than through Norbu’s willingness to visit all of the ancient Buddhist shrines and his dedication to Kumbum at a time when it was not necessarily beneficial to do so. We also see the combination of Norbu’s religious and familial associations through his relationship with the 14th Dalai Lama.

Although the Dalai Lama is not the essential character in Norbu’s story, he is obviously a very important component of it. In fact the book is dedicated to “his holiness the Dalai Lama in respect and fraternal love.” From a very early age the Dalai Lama and Norbu begin to establish a very important and close relationship/bond. In 1939 when Norbu was twenty and the Dalai Lama was only four, the Dalai Lama comes to Kumbum and lives with Norbu for a short period of time. This interaction is so beautiful and crucial because it mirrors Norbu’s own initiation into the monastery. Norbu tries to console the Dalai Lama and give him toys to appease his fears and anxiety, but eventually he begins to cry himself, and the two embrace each other with tears throughout the night. This interaction is good to see from those wishing to understand the early life of the Dalai Lama. Even though there is a fifteen year age gap, Norbu views the Dali Lama as the spiritual head of the community much more so than he does as a brother. There are times that Norbu mentions feelings of gratitude and love for his brother for allowing time to talk to him. This illustrates the role that the Dalai Lama played within Tibetan culture or at the very least for Norbu, where the Dalai Lama is revered as a god-like figure with the upmost respect imaginable. Their relationship exists on this level for a long time until in 1959 the Dalai Lama and the rest of the family are forced to flee to India in order to save their lives. In India the Dalai Lama makes a series of claims that fundamentally change the nature of their relationship: for one, he refuses to be addressed as a god, but rather as a simple refugee, and secondly he asks Norbu’s help in looking for and caring for other refugees in the region. This transition not only ends the book but it turns Norbu into the brother figure that he never was in Tibet.

The reasons that Norbu wrote this book are centered on doing two primary things: 1) to demonstrate the importance of Tibetan and monastic culture and 2) to depict the life or biography of the Dalai Lama’s brother. In the book there are two clear distinctions between Norbu’s nostalgic life before the rise of the Communists, and the drastic fearful life Norbu lives after the rise of Communism in Amdo. We get to meet important figures such as Taktra, Reting, and read about the response to the 13th Dalai Lama’s death as well as that of the Panchen Lama. But the attention shifts when the Communists come. They mark the beginning of the disintegration of Tibetan culture as well as the great festivals and lama traditions. Many of the monks are forced to leave the monasteries, and the Communists play extreme mental mind games and bring in a plethora of propaganda that erode the home that Norbu so desperately cherishes and loves. This is the essential element of the story that is Norbu’s primarily reasons for writing it: to demonstrate that Tibet was loved and that it did have a essence that was culturally as well as nostalgically significant. Norbu notes that he was well traveled, seeing the United States, Europe, India, China, airplanes and televisions but his favorite place was the quaintness and natural beauty of his country Tibet, a country that was beginning to be destroyed as a result of Communist expansion.

From Lithang, to the United Nations: this is my story

January 4, 2021 Updates -->

A personal essay written by Nyima Lhamo, former Tibetan Political Prisoner:

I was 12-years-old the last time I saw my uncle, Tenzin Delek Rinpoche, alive and well. The next time I saw him, in July 2015, his soul had already left this earth and his body was mutilated and marred. An esteemed spiritual leader and hero to many, Rinpoche’s only purpose in life was to serve his people and country – Tibet. He truly embodied the Buddhist principle of compassion for nature and humanity: he stopped Chinese “development” projects which would have destroyed Tibet’s environment, and even brokered peace between Tibetan and Chinese people living in his community by acting as a mediator when there were squabbles and disagreements. So when I learned of Rinpoche’s death, the profound sadness I experienced was not only because I had just lost a beloved uncle, but also because I felt Tibet had just lost one of our greatest advocates and leaders.

At that time, I had no idea what my future would entail. I didn’t know that my mother and I would be detained for weeks. And I definitely didn’t know that I would eventually flee the land and country which I love with all my heart. However, despite my personal ties in Tibet, I left out of a greater call to action. I felt compelled to leave because I wanted to make change to the injustices I saw around me in Tibet, and knew I could only do so by leaving.

My advocacy journey began in earnest after arriving in India. There, I learned of Students for a Free Tibet (SFT) and of all the advocacy they did for Rinpoche. SFT’s former Executive Directors, Lhadon and Tendor, introduced me to the Tibetan Freedom Movement in exile and Dorjee Tseten, who was SFT’s Asia Director at the time, encouraged me to stay strong and continue my advocacy.

I remember one of my first speaking tours with SFT. I was so nervous about conveying my message articulately to the non-Tibetans in the audience. DoTseten helped me share my story and even reminded me to place equal emphasis on sharing my message from inside Tibet with the Tibetans in exile. After all, he reminded me, my uncle’s story and message of hope and perseverance should be first and foremost for the Tibetan people.

In the past several years since my initial speaking tour with SFT, I have had the opportunity to share my uncle’s story on many important platforms, including the United Nations and the White House. While I am grateful for the opportunity, I still feel as though there is so much more we must do to truly bring justice to my uncle and to the millions of Tibetans currently inside Tibet living under Chinese occupation. I came to the realization that in order to engage in a higher level of advocacy, I would also need a higher level of education and training around UN mechanisms and human rights advocacy. When SFT and the Tibet Advocacy Coalition invited me to take part in an intensive UN training, I immediately knew it would be an immensely valuable experience.

WhatsApp Image 2020-12-18 at 3.00.03 PM (1).jpeg

Growing up in Tibet, I understood that the UN was an important international institution, one in which we, Tibetans inside Tibet, place significant hope. Many Tibetans, including myself, believe that the UN can be an important force in the fight to return His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama back to his rightful place in Lhasa. Therefore it is vital for us Tibetans to utilize the UN as a tool in our struggle for freedom.

Through these UN trainings, I’ve come to understand the institutional nuances of this massive multilateral institution: that resolutions don’t get passed overnight and that collaboration is a necessary precursor of meaningful change. I see the UN as a critical medium for advocacy that our movement for freedom needs to leverage.

In Tibet there is nowhere we Tibetans can turn to when we face oppression under Chinese rule. Despite China’s claims of equal protection under the law, there are separate and superficial legal avenues specifically for Tibetans which are ingenuine and do not address our oppression. One needs only to look at the self-immolations, which among many things, can be understood as demonstrations of the severe persecution and injustice that Tibetans inside Tibet face.

WhatsApp Image 2020-12-18 at 1.01.26 PM (1).jpeg

Tenzin Delek Rinpoche giving teachings in Tibet.

The UN’s mission is to maintain international peace and security. It is the body responsible for advocating for those facing injustices, exactly like those which are occurring in Tibet. The UN must show the world that human rights accountability applies to all nations, including China. So in this light, the UN is the most appropriate institution which can affect positive change in Tibet. I plan on continuing my work with Students for a Free Tibet in my advocacy both at the UN and on the streets through grassroots activism. We have made great progress, but the road ahead is still long!

Tibetans inside Tibet have continued to resist Chinese occupation at devastating costs to their own lives and safety; they fight and sacrifice everything to protect our collective Tibetan culture and way of life. I promise to do my best to amplify their voices in exile, and I hope you all will join me. Thank you to everyone for your enduring support; my journey—SFT’s journey—at the United Nations wouldn’t be possible without the contributions of countless supporters around the world like you.

How to Travel Tibet — My Tibet Travel Guide

Last Updated on January 10, 2022

A detailed Tibet travel guide with all the information on how to travel Tibet, things to do and where to stay in Tibet.

Tibet is called the ‘Roof of the World’ for good reason: With an average elevation exceeding 4,500 metres (14,800 ft), the Tibetan Plateau is sometimes the world’s highest and largest plateau, with an area of 2,500,000 square kilometres (about five times the size of France). Challenging as it may be, here’s my go at how to travel Tibet and get the maximum from this incredible part of the world.

Geography in Tibet is on a humbling scale — dramatic snow-peaked mountains loom over vast plains, zigzagging highways weave their way through high passes draped with colorful prayer flags, while glittering turquoise lakes stand in the shadow of centuries-old glaciers. Home to several of the world’s highest peaks and the famous Everest Base Camp , Tibet has the power to impress even the most hardened traveler.

For those planning a trip to the ‘Roof of the World’, I’ve compiled a detailed Tibet travel guide with information on how to get there, what type of tours to choose, and where to stay in Tibet.

Table of Contents

Why You Should Travel Tibet

How to travel tibet, when to travel tibet, how to get to tibet, how to get around tibet, where to stay in tibet, what to eat in tibet, cost of travel in tibet, safety in tibet, staying healthy in tibet, best places to travel in tibet, check out our regular tibet tours.

But amidst the stunning natural landscapes in Tibet, it’s the people of Tibet that truly moved me. Despite mass modernisation and dilution of their culture under China’s iron fist, Tibet remains a resilient land underpinned by a rich culture and deep faith. 50 years of oppression and religious control have failed to dull the Tibetans’ devotion to their faith.

Today, amidst the kitsch Chinese neon signs, retail stores and fast food chains in Lhasa , it’s still common to see hardcore pilgrims prostrating in koras circumambulating sacred spots around the country.

Magnificent monasteries rich with the aroma of butter tea, prayer halls of chanting monks, and streets lined with prayer wheels all remind us that nobody can take away what is truly Tibetan. The Chinese may have taken away a lot of things from Tibet, but they’ll never take away their identity and faith.

These days, traveling Tibet can be a controversial subject. Many people in the Western world strongly feel that visiting the oppressed nation means that you’re supporting China’s political indoctrination of Tibet. Some people I know would never visit Tibet until it is fully liberalised from the clutches from China. I absolutely understand their point of view and I strongly oppose China’s hard-headed tactics, but visiting Tibet does not mean I’m supporting the regime.

In fact, I think more people should visit so Tibet gets the attention and support from the outside world it deserves. I see travel as the best form of education — only by going there, talking to locals and seeing things from ground level do you truly learn about what’s going on, and can therefore inform others about the state that Tibet is in.

Tourism is highly restricted in Tibet and independent travel is not allowed. Foreign travelers need to prearrange a tour in order to obtain a Tibet Tourism Bureau (TTB) permit; only Chinese and Hongkong travelers are free to enter without a visa. Every company that runs Tibet tours will help you obtain a TTB when you book a tour with them.

Without a TTB permit, you won’t even be able to board a flight or train to Tibet. Besides citizens of Singapore, Brunei and Japan, all visitors require a valid Chinese visa in addition to a Tibet permit. Make sure to get your Chinese visa at least a month before your trip, as your tour operator will need it to get the TTB permit. When applying for your Chinese visa, don’t mention Tibet and don’t list your occupation as ‘journalist’.

I’m glad I chose to run my first WildJunket Tour to Tibet. It’s safe to say everyone in the group enjoyed the trip tremendously and appreciated the great job our local guide and driver did. If you are looking to travel Tibet, we offer regular departures for Tibet tours in 2021.

Tibet can be visited all year round — but the best time to visit is in spring and summer (from April to October) when Tibet’s weather is not too harsh and most areas of Tibet are accessible. This also depends largely on your Tibet itinerary as certain parts can only be visited in summer (e.g. Mount Kailash is covered in snow throughout the year except summer.)

Most Tibetan festivals take place in spring and summer too, including the month-long Saga Dawa Festival (mainly to celebrate the birth of Buddha, enlightenment, and Nirvana) which coincided with my trip, the week-long Shoton festival (Tibetan opera performance and Buddha Thangka unfolding ceremony) and Nagqu horse racing festival. Tibet travel is definitely at its best in spring and summer.

Winter is low season for travel in Tibet, as temperatures can get quite extreme at such high altitudes. I wouldn’t recommend visiting Everest Base Camp then as temperatures can drop to way below 0 degrees Celsius.

Flights to Tibet are quite expensive, and a lot of people suffer from altitude sickness when flying straight into Lhasa. You will have to fly via other cities in China or Kathmandu (the only international transit point) to get to Lhasa regardless of where you’re coming from.

Return flights to Lhasa from Singapore are around US$500 and from Beijing for US$600. I managed to score a pretty cheap flight from Lhasa to Singapore (single way) for US$180 with taxes included.

Another way of getting into Tibet is on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway . This is the highest rail travel in the world, with more than 960 km (600 miles) at an elevation of more than 4,000 m (13,123 ft) and almost half of the tracks built on permafrost. The rail journey starts in Beijing, the Chinese capital, taking a total of 40 hours to get to Lhasa.

But the landscapes only begin to impress from Xining onwards, whizzing past high-altitude lakes, vast plains and mountain passes. Train tickets are not cheap, at around US$280 for a soft sleeper and $200 for a hard sleeper (prices can change depending on season) each way.

Search for Flights to Lhasa

Foreign visitors are not allowed to take public transport in Tibet. As mentioned, you need to arrange a tour in order to enter Tibet and move around the region. Tours always include transportation that will bring you around Tibet.

However, travelers are free to explore Lhasa’s markets, squares and old town on their own. There are plenty of things to do in Lhasa , and you can easily spend a week here exploring the temples, palaces and narrow alleys. You only need to be accompanied by a tour guide when visiting tourist attractions (any monastery and temple). Taxis are easily available in Lhasa and a one-way journey anyway in the city costs only 10 yuan (US$1.50).

We traveled around on a comfortable small bus with enough capacity for 14 people. It wasn’t as big and conspicuous as the ugly big blue buses that Chinese tourists traveled on, and it was good enough to cover long distances and on the hundreds of switchbacks on the Friendship Highway.

Accommodation is included in most Tibet tours. On my Tibet tour , we stayed at comfortable 4-star hotels that offered surprisingly luxurious accommodation right in the heart of Lhasa and Shigatse.

Only one night was spent camping at Everest Base Camp , and even then we stayed in a clean, comfortable big tented camp (for 5 to 8 people in each tent). They provided cushy mattresses and clean quilts. It was rather cold at night, so thankfully the local tour operator provided sleeping bags (with a cleaning fee of US$10).

It is allowed to explore Lhasa on your own and you can easily book hotels in Lhasa online. Prices are pretty affordable — $50 can get you a comfortable three-star hotel in the historical centre.

Here are the Lhasa hotels I recommend:

St Regis Resort Lhasa — The best place to stay in Lhasa, with ultra luxurious and spacious rooms for those who want to splurge after roughing out in rural Tibet. It’s a walk away from town so you’ll need to get a taxi everywhere. Book here.

Lhasa Gang-Gyan Hotel — A comfortable 4-star hotel with high standards of accommodation and an excellent location, just a few minutes’ walk from Barkhor Square. The breakfast spread was impressive. Hotel staff don’t speak English though.

House of Shambala — A boutique hotel brimming with traditional Tibetan flair. We ate at its fantastic restaurant twice and loved it. Rooms are decorated in true authentic Tibetan fashion. Check for rates here.

Tashi Choeta Boutique Hotel — A simple three-star hotel that’s great for the budget traveler. It’s located in the historical quarters, with a charming lounge area in its central courtyard. The hotel’s interior is decorated in traditional Tibetan style, and the service is excellent. Book your hotel here.

Don’t come to Tibet expecting gourmet meals; traditional Tibetan fare is quite simple and basic. Tibetans used to subsist on tsampa (barley flour) and butter tea, but now many Chinese dishes have been introduced to their culinary diet. There’s no shortage of Chinese fare around, but if you won’t find anything beyond that outside of Lhasa.

Most teahouses serve typical dishes like yak momo (steamed dumplings with yak meat), Tibetan noodles in broth, and stir-fried vegetables with rice. Chinese dishes that are usually on the menu include chili chicken, cashew chicken, double fried pork meat, and yak meat with vegetables. They’re pretty good and authentic in my opinion, but can be oily and spicy for some western tastebuds. Only in Lhasa will you find international restaurants that serve pizzas as well as Nepali and Indian thali sets.

Best Restaurants in Tibet

House of Shambala — As I mentioned above, I ate dinner once with the group and we loved it so much that we returned to have our last dinner here. The choice of momos was impressive and the platters of pakhora and other Tibetan-Nepali snacks were excellent. The atmosphere there was great and service was good. Read the Tripadvisor reviews.

Tibetan Family Kitchen — This cosy home-style diner makes you feel like you’re eating in someone’s home. Make your way there through a narrow alleyway, up the stairs through an apartment building and you’ll find yourself in a local home. You not only get to eat home-cooked Tibetan food but you can also try your hand at cooking them. Read the Tripadvisor reviews.

Po Ba Tsang Restaurant — A modern restaurant serving Tibetan and Chinese dishes that are huge in portions and great in flavor. There’s live folklore music for entertainment and also hotpot available for those who want a true culinary experience. Read the Tripadvisor reviews here.

Traveling Tibet isn’t cheap as you need to go on a tour to travel here. It’s especially pricey if you want to spend more than a week here and explore more remote regions. For a week-long tour, expect to pay at least US$900 for all your accommodation, guide and visa.

Because of the stiff competition, tour prices you find online are usually around the same. My WildJunket Tibet Tour was reasonably priced, considering the quality of accommodation, the comfort of our transportation and the great service from our guide and driver. Daily breakfasts were included but not other meals. Our guide usually brought us to affordable places with meals costing around US$5-10 per person.

Tibet has been plagued by civil unrest and anti-government protests since the 1960s when China invaded the nation. More than 140 people are known to have set themselves on fire inside Tibet to call for the Dalai Lama’s return to Tibet, for the Panchen Lama to be freed, and for human rights and freedom in Tibet go be restored. Self-immolation protests peaked in 2012 when more than 80 took place.

Although many monks and nuns have set themselves alight, most self-immolation protesters were normal Tibetans, some were as young as 15 years old. The Chinese government responded to the protests with a surge in activity by security forces, plenty of propaganda campaigns against the protesters and punishments for protester’s families and communities.

During my visit (in May 2017), it was common to find police checkpoints all over Lhasa, with the old town and the Potala Palace in particular heavily guarded by Chinese Police. Security posts were also set up all over Tibet and military presence was everywhere. We had to cross several passport checkpoints across Tibet and plenty of permits and paperwork were involved.

Besides the heavy security, there was no hint of instability or violence.

The capital city Lhasa itself stands at 3,550m above sea level, and Everest Base Camp looms at 5,088m. At such dizzying heights, it can be easy to suffer from AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) if you don’t take the time to acclimatise to the conditions.

Tibetan people on the other hand are genetically adapted to living at higher altitudes. They have more red blood cells than most of us and that helps them to live with the limited oxygen at high altitudes.

Most people flying into Lhasa suffer from AMS; symptoms include light-headedness, nausea, short of breathe and headaches. Just make sure to get some Diamox (Acetazolamide) before your trip and start the medication at least one day before landing in Lhasa. Give yourself plenty of time to rest and acclimatise in Lhasa before you start exploring.

The highlight of our trip was reaching Everest Base Camp , where the highest peak in the world loomed before us. It felt so close that it almost seemed within reach. Sleeping in a tented camp under the starry skies, I couldn’t believe I was literally at the top of the world.
Our drive to Everest Base Camp on the Friendship Highway was just as spectacular as our destination. The highway climbed up more than 2,000m in altitude via a series of sharp hairpin bends. Scenery along the way featured winding valleys, vast grasslands, meadows and windswept mountain views.
Watching monks at Sera Monastery debate was such an eye-opening experience. The debates were punctuated with vigorous gestures which made the whole ambience really lively and interesting.
It was such an honor visiting the legendary Potala Palace, an iconic landmark of Tibet and the most well-known building in the country. This was the fortresslike home of nine Dalai Lamas, but is sadly used as a museum now.
The scenic route from Shigatse to Lhasa brought us along lime-green barley fields, pristine turquoise lakes, time-warped villages and mountains studded with ochre stupas. It was a full day of driving, but the landscapes were diverse and spectacular. Some of my favourite stops were Gyatse Fort, Yamdrok Lake and Karo-La Glacier.

With this Tibet travel guide, I hope you’ll be able to plan an epic adventure and a trip of a lifetime. If you are interested in joining me on one of my Tibet tours , check out this page for detailed information.

Astonishing.

Great writing. Thanks for introducing me to Tibet!

Did you have to trek at the Everest Base Camp ? Any tours coming up in 2018?

hi K, you don’t have to trek on the Tibet side. With most tours, you actually get the van all the way to the Everest Base Camp and then do a short hike to the lookout point. I don’t have any Tibet tour coming up in 2018 but you can email me and I’ll put you in touch with my local tour operator.

Your tour sounds interesting. Me and girlfriends are planning to go in October but we are worried of the toilet cleanliness and feeling unwell due to the high altitudes.

Btw do u have any trip planned in Oct?

hey YL, thanks for dropping by! I don’t have any trip to Tibet planned in October but I can help you book a trip if you’re interested. Be sure to bring some Diamox and you should be fine. A few people on my trip didn’t want to take Diamox and suffered quite badly from altitude sickness. It can be rough, you’ll need to be prepared. The toilet cleanliness isn’t something that can be fixed though. Tibet is a spectacular part of the world and there’s nothing quite like it. The devotion of its people, the kindness in their eyes, and the pristine beauty of its nature will make all the challenges of the trip well worth it.

Great blog! Enjoyed reading the info. A pity, there’s no planned trip to tibet in oct, i was also planning for that month. Perhaps u can share the travel operator u work with, would love to work something out.

For the access to tibet, maybe u can advice me on whether flight or train is a better choice from singapore. The train duration seems super long (40+ hrs), the flight seems expensive and difficult to get.

Thank you Mei

Bernard Wosk

Hi Nellie, I’m planning a trip to Tibet at the end of May, do you have a trip around that time? If not, can you recommend a tour operator? Thanks, Bernard

I am thinking of taking the train from Xining to Lhasa and then doing a tour from Lhasa to Everest Base Camp. There are any parts of this trip in which the train or car would be riding along the edge of a cliff? I am fine with heights unless I am at the edge so need to prepare myself.

hi Macy, I did almost the same route except that I started the train journey from Beijing. No, the train doesn’t ride along the edge of a cliff. You won’t feel the height. However, the car/bus journey towards Everest Base Camp will bring you on hairpin bends at high altitudes, so be prepared for that. Just try not to sit by the window if it’s gonna scare you. Roads there are surprisingly good (built by the Chinese) so don’t worry about safety.

Hi Nelly I plan to go in may 2019. I’m flying in to lanzhou & plan to take the train to lhasa. will join the ebc tour too if possible. can u advise and gimme contacts of the local tibet tours that can arrange for me? thanks.

hey Sam, yes sure. I’m actually writing an article about visiting the Everest Base Camp as we speak. I’ll email you. :)

Hi Thanks for your blog it was very interesting and insightful to read. I do theatre projects in the UK and recently connected with our very small Tibetan community in the UK.

hi Michelle, thanks so much for your comment! I’ve received your email as well and will reply you promptly. Cheers!

Hi,i likw to travel to Lhasa,china.Can you please let me know,how to travel from India?

You’ll need to get to Nepal first and from Kathmandu, you can travel overland to Tibet on a tour. Otherwise flying to Lhasa is the fastest way.

Hi, intends to go Lhasa and EBC in April 2019. Appreciate if there’s any tour during that period.

hi SK! I’m setting up an automated booking system for tours to Tibet right now as we speak. It should be up and running this week or the next, so please do check back then! Thank you!
