Staffs are the backbone of the company, and we have understood it very well. Without a Tibet travel professional and happy staff, we can’t operate a great Tibet trek, and it will not succeed. Tibet trekking tour is one of our most liked services. Therefore we have tried our best to make our Tibet professional team members happy and keep them with us as long as possible.
All our staffs are insured against personal accidents throughout the year, and they are well paid. Other incentives and facilities are also given such as tour allowance, festival allowance, paid holiday and visit family members of our Tibet travel professional team when they need any help. Tibet Shambhala Adventure’s vision is to have a second family for all our professional Tibet travel team members and this second family can give a warm and happy mood to them forever.

Dawa Tsering, Managing Director
My name is Dawa Tsering and I was born in Lhoka, the southern part of Lhasa. I am a native Tibetan and grew up in Lhasa.
Dawa Tsering: Managing Director
Like many other young boys, I finished my high school. Since my younger age, I had a dream of learning English and took the English as the main subject in the Tibetan University. After the graduation, in early 1990s, I have worked in an NGO called Tibet Heritage Fund under the sponsor and management of the German government.
Their main project was to preserve the traditional Tibetan houses and old monasteries around the Jokang temple and Old Bharkor street. I have worked as an interpreter between Foreign professors and Tibetan architecture.
Later, I found that my life is still not active enough by staying in the same place from year to year and also I like to exchange different kinds of culture, knowing different people from other side of the world so I decided working in tourism.
In the beginning, I have worked as a tour guide and have been to every corner of Tibet. The more I traveled, the more I realized Tibet is a very beautiful country with it’s diverse culture and boundless bordering plateau surrounded by the beautiful Himalayan mountain range.
As being a Tibetan, I felt like I had a responsibly of introducing our beautiful homeland to the outside of the world in an Eco-friendly and responsible way so this strong feeling urged me to find Tibet Shambhala Adventure with an energetic local Tibetan team, having deep Tibetan cultural background and travel experiences in the high plateau.
We grew from a tiny tour operation in an alleyway office to an award-winning experienced local Tibetan Travel Company lauded by the likes of China Tibet Tourism Bureau Advanced Enterprise Tourism, Unique & Best Service Provider enterprise consecutively from 2009 and the first class Tibet Travel Company, chosen by the China Tibet Tourism Bureau in 2012.
We helped thousands of clients to become their Tibet travel dream come true and in the future, I and my team are more proud and more confident we are confident that Tibet Shambhala Adventure will provide you the exact trip that you are looking for and we will not only show you Tibet in an Eco friendly and responsible way but also in a very unique and perfect way so I warmly welcome you to visit Tibet through Tibet Shambhala Adventure and I am sure you will have a great trip with us.
