Well, the Chinese government just called for elections in Tibet and foreigners are not permitted in...so now the tour company is scrambling to make this a tour of Bhutan. Waiting to hear.....

I have heard on our news that there has been serious flooding in the area. Has that caused any changes to your itinerary?

No. The flooding is on the Indian side. The change was due to Tibetan elections. The Chinese government doesn't want any foreigners in the area after Oct 17th, so that cut too much time off our dates and they've decided to do Bhutan instead. Waiting to see how many of the ten others on the tour agree to go.

What do you mean, "if they agree to go"?

I imagine if any of the others have been to Bhutan, they don't want to go back. I know they will run a tour with a minimum of 4 but no idea if they'll need that to run the alternate tour to Bhutan given the circumstances. I'll find out more today.

Just got word that they're finalizing everything and all eleven of us on the Tibet tour agreed to do the Bhutan tour.

I wish!!! Looks like the Himalayas will be off in the distance for most of this tour. I'm already looking at alternatives for next year...I have Kenya/Tanzania booked for November and trying to see if my pennies can add up to make it a seven week extravaganza with Tibet in October. Granted, Bhutan does have one iconic spot....

Hi Chech
great to see your tale has begun.. but... wot of Dubai? Is it a case of 'what happened in Dubai, stayed in Dubai'? 😉
I was very interested in your Dubai photos and I wanted your 'take' on the place as we have only transitted thru, But we have good friends with family working here and so have been several times. We have heard a lot about it from their point of view, so was keen to hear other opinion.
