Mme. Blavatsky and Col. Olcott were the first Westerners to introduce Tibetan mysticism to Europe and America. Blavatsky’s mystical connection was primarily with the Dalai and Panchen Lamas, through her visions of ancient masters associated with Tashi Lhunpo Monastery that had been built by the First Dalai Lama in 1447 and that two centuries later became the seat of the Panchen Lama incarnations. Blavatsky also secretly visited Tibet on two occasions, and we will meditate in her favorite places there.
Our spiritual journey will begin in Chengdu of Szechwan Province in China, from where we will fly into to Tibet and Lhasa. Chengdu is a medium sized city on the borders of Eastern Tibet, and serves as China’s administrative center for the Tibetan regions. It has the benefit of being easily accessed by numerous international airports. We recommend coming in through Hong Kong.

| Oct 20-Oct 25, 2008: Bhutan extension on Blavatsky's Tibet |
|
Bhutan is a rich mosaic of different cultures, traditions, life styles, ethnic groups, languages and belief systems. It is astounding that a country with a population of just over half a million speaks as many as nineteen different dialects and a few major languages. It may seem diverse in many ways, but the Bhutanese socio-cultural fabric is well interlaced and harmonized mainly due to the common thread of simple Buddhist values that the people share. The cultural tours of Bhutan are the easiest way to get the taste of Bhutan. Each town has a Dzong dating back from the 1600s, and many old temples and monasteries.
