Tibet

TIBET: A mystical wonder…Roof of the World…

Tibet, a region of mystery, color and culture, has flourished in secrecy for centuries. The medieval magic of a land where people eat, sleep and breathe religion, following traditions laid down one hundred lifetimes ago. Tibet is steeped in the grit, toil and celebration of life and is a very special place with a long and complex history. Despite the invasion of China in 1959 and the inevitable dilution of Tibetan culture, Tibet has proven over the years that its way of life has been able to withstand this influence, where power of thought and life itself do overcome the modern ravages of politics. Tibet is a place for the traveler to cast away any preconceptions he or she may have and join in the journey of discovery along the way... at least for a while. For mystery defines the courage of the Tibetan people who stand fast their cultures & way of life, notwithstanding the changes that have come with its being a governed state by a foreign power.

The average elevation of Tibet is 4,900m. Located to the western part of proper China, Tibet is home to the indigenous Tibetan and to some of the ethnic groups that include the Monpas and Lhobas. One of the key highlights of the Tibet tour is the alluring culture, tradition and religion of which the Tibetan people have been able to guard with such devoted care and fervency down the ages.
