Tibet, with its vast landscapes from the
verdant forest to the arid dry moonscapes, huddled in the
rain-shadow behind the mass range of the northern Himalaya,
certainly makes this land as mysterious as it was for
centuries and it still retains the feel of the medieval
period and a tinge of Shangri-la. Located with pride at an
average altitude of over 3000 meter, today mankind's
enthusiasm and curiosity has flung open the "mighty doors"
to experience the lifestyle, culture and landscape of this
"Virgin Land".
This large and highest plateau has numerous destinations
that one can explore from the cultural-modern colorful city
of Lhasa and its numerous turquoise lakes to the giant
mountains of Everest, Cho Oyo and Shisapangma.
