About Tibet

There is absolutely nothing in Tibet that can be called ordinary. For this very fact, Tibet is often referred to as 'Roof of the World'. The barren lands stretching miles and abruptly interrupted by a snow clad mountain, the deep running valleys cut by crystal clear rivers, isolated buildings atop the highest peaks, is a sight beyond words.Sandwiched between India and China, Tibet has an average height of 4900 meters and this makes it the highest region on earth.

These monasteries are among the most important ones for Buddhism. Lhasa is the capital city of Tibet and also the largest. Literally meaning 'Holy City', Lhasa is a destination of extreme contrasts.
