Tibet has a mystical air surrounded around it. The political repression, the hard terrain and the lack of communication with the outside world gives Tibet a forlorn place in tourism sector. But once you decide to visit Tibet, you’ll never regret it. It is important to know that visitors to Tibet require permit and crossing some of the geographical limit may land you in prison. The conditions have become stringent after the riots of 2008 during the Chinese Olympics.
There is no dearth of interesting places to visit in Tibet. It is one of the breathtakingly beautiful places with sky kissing mountain ranges, vast deserts and unique wildlife. The Pair plateau is known as the roof of the world and the mean elevation of Tibet is 4900 meters. The Yarlung River meandering in the valley presents a beautiful sight. The Potala Palace is the abode of the dalai lamas for centuries. The Drepung Monastery, Jokhang temple and Sera Monastery are places worth visiting. You may go to Rongbuk Monastery and have a breathtaking view of Mt. Everest. Trekking and mountaineering are the adventure sports that you can partake in Tibet to your heart’s delight.
