Those who donate US$10,000 or more will be invited to join one of our annual expeditions, traveling by car and horse to Baiya and Palpung Monasteries. This is a unique opportunity to see a remote and little-visited part of Tibet, not as a tourist, but as part of an elite conservation team. The trip begins in Chengdu, and takes us through some fascinating parts of Kham. You will have a chance to visit several monasteries on the way, see the sacred Wild Yak Mountain, as well as visit the Dege Printing House. It's not required that you assist with the work, but if you volunteer to do so, you will receive an introduction to the fascinating art of conservation. You will experience the laughter and comeraderie of our international team, learn some of the Khampa dialect, and taste the joys (and sorrows) of Tibetan cookery. The next expedition is planned for October-November of 1997.

It will include visits to Baiya and Palpung Monasteries, as well as many other noted monasteries such as Dzogchen, Shechen, and the Dege Printing House. A portion of the cost will be donated to the project. The journey will include travel by car and horseback, crossing several high passes and traversing steep, rugged mountains on a route that follows the ancient "tea road" in Tibet.
