TIBET, the very name evokes
feelings of awe and mystery. A land of ancient Buddhist
culture, awesome landscapes, artistic monasteries, exotic
cities, hidden valleys and centuries-old caravan trails.
Tibet offers a totally different experience. Known as the
Roof of the world, it is the destination for the ultimate
thrill-seeker.
Tibet is the land of birth
place of Tibetan Buddhism offering sense of spiritual
healing in the high altitude of above 5000 meters. Tibet
giving the notion of religious Mecca of Tantrism will give
true value of worthiness of wholesome spiritual value.
Age old landscapes of Utah and Navada of
North America with feeling of being in the space, Tibet
resemble the blue sky of this barren land gives life to
it. Tibet's people, architecture, religious monuments,
environment and natural setting isolates Tibet even from
the nearest civilization.
Although the naked appearance of
nothingness is seen the being there can truly feel
fullness within oneself.
The evolution of the Himalayas most
certainly has given two very different natural phenomenon
on side of the Hi malayas. Tibetan plateau in the north
and Nepalese environmental settings of plant life,
demographical traditions, animal heritage in the south.
Mingling of these variations has created cultural setting
of its own in both the countries complementing and
enriching the life styles of the people of the Nepalese
origin and Tibetan origin.
Thus, Tibet being the remote dream of
many travellers with offers world travellers old culture,
mysterious religion, magnificent sieneries, peculiar yet
very unique folklore will set inner world of it's own in
the traveler's vision for ever. Visiting Tibet will give
enlightened opportunity beyond one's imagination.
