An Exciting Tibet Adventure Tour of Your Life!!!

In October 2019, I thought to myself, “Where can I plan to celebrate my 2020 New Year?”

You know that feeling when escape is imminent, and you can feel it on the horizon as you have been shackled down into a workload of ridiculous proportions. I did not want to come back to the office and keep myself busy with tons of meetings lined up. I wanted to set my out-of-office reply to something entertaining like, “Sorry I am currently on leave exploring the scenic beauty of Himalayas and drinking yak butter tea, which is utterly disgusting, but I will suggest you try it. I will be retuning on….” And then it instantly hit me. Tibet was going to be my next adventurous tour.
