Welcome to Highest Plateau in the world, the TIBET
It
is difficult to think of another country in the world that has exerted
such pull on the romantic imagination as the mysterious Buddhist
Kingdom of Tibet. For many years the forbidden kingdom, closed to
foreigners, barely known even, it has retained its aura of mystery and
romance to the present day. Landlocked in a mountain fastness, behind
the world's highest mountain range it has been known as Shangri-La. The
land of snows and the Roof of the World.
Tibet is a region of some 500,000 square miles set at an average altitude of 3000 meters; it is as big as Western Europe.
In the rain shadow area of the vast Himalayan mountain range; its
average yearly rainfall is regularly exceeded by an average rainy month
in Holland. It is a land of endless steppes, where glittering peaks rise out of high altitude dry lands and desert and beautifully Verdant River
gorges flourish under cobalt striking blue skies. Here, ancient
monasteries in striking colors stand in the stark landscape as
reminders of the essential spirituality of humankind and draw all
visitors into a profound revaluation of their own lives; and the people
retain a wonderful optimism and friendliness in adversity which is
nothing short of inspirational.
Many wonderful monasteries including the world famous Potala Palace
still stand in their entire mysterious splendor. Above all, the
powerful spirit of the Tibetan people in every nook and corner of the
