About Tibet

TIBET is one of the world's most extraordinary destinations and there is adventure indeed lurking around almost each and every corner. Lhasa The capital lies high in the arid wilderness of the Tibetan mountains, its name the "Roof of the World" is no idle statement. The valley bottoms of Tibet are higher than the highest mountains elsewhere. Its snow covered plateau is the highest in the world, and apart from the Everest, which Tibetans see from 'the other side', many mountains are over 15000 feet. The Buddhist monasteries of Drepung, once the largest; the Jokhang - a spiritual centre, and the awesome palaces of the Dalai Lama - Norbulingka (the summer Palace) and the Potala the traditional seat) are some of the highlights of visit to Tibet. Mt. Kailash presents probably the biggest irony in tourism world and pilgrimage destinations. It is the most renowned and divine place visited by the devotees across the boarders. The mountain is an important religious destination for many religions like Jainism, Buddhism, and Hinduism and holds different significance to different religion just like the various names it has. The mountain towers up to 22,000 feet above sea level and is considered to be one of the toughest high rises to climb or even reach. Pilgrims even with the toughest of vehicles take weeks to reach here through a journey, which is nothing less than a great challenge
