For centuries Tibet Has exercised a powerful pull over
the Western World. Closed to foreigners until a few
years ago it has always been a country apart as rarefied
as its air as it individualistic and intangible as it
only geographic
Location and a determined policy of isolation Permit.
Landlocked behind almost Impenetrable Himalayan Karakoram,
Kunlum Ranges, th eland of the snow lies mostly above
3500 Meters, its height above sea level Comparable only
to Bolivia. It is one of the most sparsely populated
places on earth, Tibet is a land of dramatic landscapes,
sacred relics, butter lamp, illuminated temples and
Monasteries and deeply religious resilient, immensely
likeable people. It has something to offer every traveler,
from Lhasa, Potala palace, to the Jokhang Temple spiritual
center of Tibet, and Drepung Monastery of the 20000
plus monasteries once biggest and Richest, from Tibet
own valley of the King's to Lhamo Latso oracle lake,
whose waters revealed clues which led to the identification
of the 14th Dalai Lama, and Holy Mount Kailash and Lake
Manasarovar. It is place of Sky burials the indispensable
yak and life sustaining salted butter tea, from which
visitors will retain memories to last a life time.
