Tibet
Tibet is known as the ‘Roof of the World’. This is a place truly mystified with high mountains, great plateaus, and spirituality. It lies on more than 4500 meters high Tibetan plateau and is capped against the south by the great Himalayas and to the west, by the Karakoram. It is indeed a dream destination both for adventurers and pilgrims because of its stark beauty-an incredibly rugged landscape with turquoise lakes, wide grasslands, and lofty snow-covered peaks. The crowning glories of this region are Mount Everest’s north face and Mount Kailash, each which adds to the unparalleled appeal of this destination.
Beyond the natural beauty it is a cultural and spiritual retreat-tucked in history of the age-old monasteries such as Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple, where rituals and traditions practiced still date back ages. Here, prayer flags flutter in the wind and prayer wheels spin, echoing the devotion of its people. Tibetan hospitality, bright new festivals, and customs with their uniqueness enrich this country’s much varied heritage.
