Tibet Group Tour – Etiquettes

Update: Dec. 28th, 2012

tibet group tour

Tibetan people keep a living habit and custom of the nomads. In order to have a better understanding and a better travel experience when taking a Tibet group tour, it is necessary to get some knowledge of the Tibetan etiquettes.

Hospitable Tibetans

It is well known that the Tibetan people are hospitable. It is a popular way of relaxation and entertainment to have gatherings. People of every class like this way and always gather together. However the gathering hold by the blue-blooded families always lasts for 10 days to 15 days for once. Hundreds of people are invited to the party and some guests will stay overnight. Hosts will entertain the intimate friends for a few more days with courtesy and warmth.

Invitation of the Tibetans

If your relationship with the Tibetan hosts is not close, you wouldn’t get fun in the gathering. The invitation is always verbal. When meeting the first time with the Tibetan host, they will greet you with a Hada, and invite you to the party with gorgeous words but without mentioning the exact time. Until the gathering day, some hospitable hosts would hasten you to go to the party. They will invite you for three times, the first time in the early morning, the second the middle morning and the third time in the late morning. Do not go to when they invite the first time. Or it will be awkward if you go in the early morning.

Severe Regulations

Tibet Etiquettes have severe regulations. The host needs to wait for the distinguished guests outside the front door. They will greet less important guests at the second door and at the stairs to wait for guests not important. If the guests are of lower class than the hosts, they will greet at the door of the drawing room. Or guests of much lower class than the hosts, they may not go out to greet them. The way to say goodbye is the same. At the banquet, only the most distinguished guests can sleep in the same room with the hosts. Other guests are attributed to other rooms. The men and women have to live apart in all formal Tibetan gatherings.
