Very excited to announce here on the blog the launch of a new partnership with tour agency Tibetan Connections<\/a>, offering photography workshops and tours in western China on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Tibetan Connections, a small grass-roots company, have been based on the plateau for a number of years and are actively involved in encouraging responsible tourism in the region. Their ethos is to work with and hire local Tibetan people and visit communities to help support the people of the region through ethical tourism. They will be our logistical partners on the trip, looking after travel, guides and accommodation for us.<\/p>\n

Our first collaboration begins in June with a 5-day tour from June 10-14<\/strong>, around the Eastern part of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, focusing on the monastic lifestyle and rituals in this region. I visited this region in November of last year and it really is a stunning part of the country, relatively unexplored compared to many other regions in China.<\/p>\n

Below is an outline of the June tour. Be sure to check out the Tibetan Connections website for more information and to confirm your place on this trip.<\/p>\n
