Tibet Tour
Tibet is a most unnamed and beautiful place in the world. It is
situated above 4,000 meters (13,000 ft.) and is surrounded by
mountain ranges on three sides. The awe-inspiring Himalaya,
Buddhist monks, Lamas and Nomads are spectacular features of the
high and dry Tibetan plateau. Tibet is thought to be locked away
in its mountain fortress of the Himalaya. Tibet has long
exercised a unique hold on the imagination of the West:
'Shangri-La', the Land of Snows, the Rooftop of the world, Tibet
is mysterious in a way that few other places are.
This place is the perfect destination for the rugged adventurers
and the spiritual wanderers. After centuries of complete
isolation, Tibet is now opened up to the Western World. A visit
to Tibet is a wonderful lifetime experience for all.
