Tibet (Xizang), the Roof of The World, remained a magical mystery to the world until the late 20th century. Sharing its borders with Nepal, India, Bhutan and Burma, this landlocked country comprises more than a third of the landmass of China. The enormous expanse of the stark wind swept Tibetan plateau lying at an average altitude of 4,000 m is home to the hardy Tibetan Nomads who still retain much of their ancient culture and religion thus maintaining their distinct identity which is clearly reflected when you visit this historical and once glorious country. The surprisingly verdant forests of the southeast, the turquoise blue lakes offer a stunning contrast and beautiful sight, in the desolate and vast high altitude desert of the Tibetan Plateau, against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains and clear blue skies. The captivating beauty of its majestic and mysterious landscapes draws people from all walks of life. The experience of travelling across “The Roof of the World” mesmerizes one.
