 Tibet is a rich beautiful
land with an average altitude over 4,000 m
(13,120 ft ) above sea level. Possessing more
than 50 peaks above 7,000 (22,960ft), Tibet is
home to many mountains over 8,000m (26,240ft).
India, Nepal, Bhutan and Burma surround Tibet.
Over 2 million inhabitants live in intimacy
with intoxicating natural wonders and an
ancient cultural. Spiritual traditions , temples
and monasteries, lakes and rivers, and mighty
snow clad peaks are experienced by adventurous
travelers who get the opportunity to visit this
land.
Tibet is surely a destination apart
from most in the world, the rolling hills of the
high plateau and the stunning Himalayas are none
to any. Refereed as Shangri La, The Forbidden
Land, The Roof Of the World and by many more,
the mysterious Buddhist Kingdom remained long
closed to foreigners, exerting a strong hold on
the imagination of the world. For centuries ,
it has fascinated mankind . It was hardly
accessible to the outside world and has been
always a challenge to human beings. Tibet, a
"forbidden land" not only by man but also by
nature, attracted many explorers, scholars, and
pilgrims and adventure lovers, all in pursuit of
"Real Shangrila". It is not only the
geographical and natural enchants but also a
long historical culture and religion that appeal
the foreigners to visit Tibet at least once in a
lifetime.
