Dear Adventurous Ones,

The adventure to Tibet to see its ancient wonders draws tantalizingly near. This is a wonderful opportunity to join me and see large swathes of Tibetan culture and history that few others have seen. The scenery is a joy to behold and the people a real delight. It is a challenging journey but one with many rewards for those who are willing to make the effort. If you can, I encourage you to sign up and be a part of this unique odyssey to Tibet.

Warm Regards,

John Bellezza

John Vincent Bellezza is a visiting scholar at the University of Virginia where he specializes in the pre-Buddhist phase of Tibetan civilization. Bellezza, a fellow of the American Council of Learned Societies and Explorer’s Club, has spent 25 years exploring the most remote parts of the Great Western Himalaya and Tibet. No ordinary academic, John is a great story teller and entertainer, skills he developed during his long years of wandering around the Himalaya. His latest book, “Zhang Zhung: Foundations of Civilization in Tibet”, provides comprehensive treatment of the pre-Buddhist civilization he discovered single-handedly.

“I was really very impressed with him as a guide. John is totally professional, but fun and flexible. He knows everyone in Nepal and Tibet and showed us things we would have never seen on most trips. He always watched out for every person, coming up the rear of treks, negotiating for people, and giving frequent informational talks. I’ve been on many pilgrimages and treks and John’s pilgrimages still stand out as the most special.”
Dr. Lynne Heckert, Founder, Philadelphia Meditation Center
