Tibet
Tour
Tibet
is indeed a very rich and beautiful land, located on the highest plateau
on Earth at an average altitude over 4000 meter. Within its borders there
are more than fifteen peaks above 7000 m. among which eleven are over
8000m. In a region of mystery colour and culture Tibet flourished in secrecy
for centuries. A 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.
Lhasa, the
beautiful capital city of this Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), is situated
in the South Central part of the region, on the North bank of the Kyichu
River, (Lhasa River), in a mountain-fringed valley. At an elevation of
3,658 m, (12,000 feet), the city, nicknamed Sunlight City, is the highest
city in the world. This ancient sprawling city, settled 1,300 years ago,
covers 30,000 square kms, (3'000,000 hectares), with a population of 400,000,
of which 87% are Tibetans. The urban population is 180,000.
The city has
many Buddhist monuments and was the seat of the Dalai Lama, so that flocks
of pilgrims have been making their pilgrimage to the city for centuries.
More and more tourists from every corner of the world have been attracted
to explore this vibrant city and its mysterious culture as well. Its unique
scenery, long history, exotic culture, mysterious religion and spectacular
monuments, make your stay a life long memory.
