The ancient kingdom of Tibet also known
as the roof of the world occupies most
of the high arid plateau lying
immediately north of the Greater
Himalaya. It is a vast territory nearly
1,200 miles (2,000km) long and 600 miles
(1,000km) wide, most of which lies more
than 14,000ft/4,267m above sea level.
Behind the high Himalayan barrier, it
experiences little rainfall and is
defined as mountain or a cold desert.
The complete encirclement of Tibet by
uncongenial mountains has helped it
isolate itself for centuries. There are
many areas in Tibet yet to be
discovered. Trekking in Tibet is an
experience of enchantment and exulted
trepidation in a perfect harmony.
Tibet is without doubt one of the most
remarkable places to visit in Asia . It
offers fabulous monastery sights,
breathtaking high-altitude treks,
stunning views of the world's highest
mountains and one of the most likable
peoples you will ever meet
