Tibetan Handicrafts

Tibet as a holy destination for Buddhism pilgrims, is famous not only for its religion culture but also for its unique Tibetan handicrafts. A Tibet tour without bringing one of these Tibetan handicrafts would be incomplete.
Tibet Knives are traditional and well-known handicrafts with a peculiar style. They are indispensable in the life of herdsmen. Tibetans use them as the tools to defend, to slaughter livestock and to eat meat.

Tibet carpets, include backing carpets, saddle carpets, sleeping carpets and normal carpets, are made from pure sheep wool. In general, Tibet carpets
involve complicate craftworks, reflecting the intelligence of Tibetan people

Masks are mainly used in some important festival are regarded as another kind of the handicrafts.

Thangka is a very popular art in Tibetan painting. It is the most special art form in Tibetan paintings,and can be divided into 3 kinds-embroidery, painting and printing.

Tibetans wear crescent-shaped silver ornaments, which symbolize purity studded with agate gems symbolizing health and good luck.

Viewing these, many people couldn't help themselves to do a travel in Tibet. As a travel operator in Tibet, we are glad to help arrange your Tibet tour and the TTP.
