About Road To Tibet

Meet Woeser Phel

I was born in a nomadic family in Amdo, Eastern Tibet. Fortunately, I managed to learn English and a little Chinese and worked as an interpreter and English teacher. Today, I live in Lhasa with my wife, Tsewang Lhamo, and my two sons, Drodun and Thaye.

In 2007, my clients suggested I set up a travel company. I thought it wouldn't be possible, but I started anyway—and it’s turned out very well! I've organized over 2,000 tours in the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) and about 80 in Kham and Amdo. It feels wonderful that my clients have told me how much they appreciate my personal attention to their Tibet journey.

Road To Tibet is honored to support our culture with scholarships for young adults who've passed their university entrance exams but have financial challenges. We also make small donations for people needing medical care. When it comes to our environment, we make sure that our trips and treks are eco-friendly, "taking nothing but photos and leaving nothing but footprints."

As a bonus, in parts of Kham and Amdo, I enjoy arranging tours that include homestays. This deepens the cultural experience of my clients and directly benefits families and communities.

Thank you for visiting my website and reading about me. Please let me know if you’d like to come to Tibet. It’s never too early to start planning!

Peace. —Woeser
