Tibet : expectations and reality

that's it! finally I'll go to Tibet... I thought about it, like I'm going to clean my karma and put all my thoughts in order😍 but... there're some restrictions for foreigners... so we used one agency to plan our trip for three of us from Kunming... there's really expensive trip and all agencies have the same programs... so we decided to go for 9 days with visiting Everest base camp🤩 I was so existed and tried not to pay attention for little disadvantages in the beginning. first two days we spent in Lhasa. because you should used to altitude. there were already some changes and strange things... 🧐 then our trip had gotten started... we spent most of time in the bus, because we should get EBC in two days... every stop wasn't longer than 30 minutes, excluding lunch, of course (only Chinese cuisine, btw).... finally we had gotten the EBC... the weather was terrible and we all were sad... and the next morning we decided to leave a little longer to wait maybe weather become better instead of visiting one monastery ain Singatse... and the miracle came🤩 but as soon as we saw the peak we rushed to leave the base camp😒 guide assured us we should go ASAP... the next day we rushed to namtso lake, which we were going to visit the day later... so we arrived after 5pm to enjoy our time there till the park were closed🤔🤐 guide told that's because we could have more time at last day in Lhasa for shopping🤮 so finally we rushed from interesting nature spots just for shopping... that two last days in rush became the reason of my frustration😓 so the trip wasn't treatment, but vice versa I felt like I was tired and haven't enjoyed the time there... so my expectations were much more than reality🤧 wish everyone had better trip to Tibet. it's an unreal place. it's another world😌 it worth to be seen... but plan your trip carefully according to your interests😊#tibet
