whole region is more than 4,000 meters above sea level,
for which Tibet is known as "Roof of the
World". The highest peak of Tibet, also the highest
in Himalayas and in the whole world, is Everest Peak,
which is as high as 8,846.27 meters above sea level.

Tibet (Xi Zang in Chinese) is to the south of
Xin Jiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Qing Hai Province,
to the west of Sichuan, to the northwest of Yunnan and
to the north of India and Nepal. Its population of 2.3
million people come from a variety of ethnic groups
including Tibetan, Han, Monba and Lhota. Its capital
city is Lhasa.
Northwest Tibet, mainly Qing Hai plateau, is
home to a variety of unusual and unique animals. Across
the northern expanse of Tibet, you can see vast
grasslands where horses, yak and sheep roam freely. The
world's lowest valley, the Grand Yarlun-tzanpo River
Valley lies in east Tibet.
Nearly all Tibetans follow Tibetan Buddhism,
known as Lamaism, with the exception of approximately
2,000 followers of Islam and 600 of Catholicism. Tibetan
Buddhism was greatly influenced by Indian Buddhism in
its early time, but after years of evolution, Tibetan
Buddhism has developed its own distinctive qualities and
practices. A well-known example is the belief that there
is a Living Buddha, who is the reincarnation of the
first, a belief alien to Chinese Buddhism.
It is freezing cold in most time of the year.
Most tourists come to visit Tibet only in the warmest
seasons, June, July, August and early September. We
welcome you with a warm "Tashi Delek" and hope
that you will find our itineraries best to your
requirements.
