Overview

Known as the "Land of Snows" Tibet offers stunning views over the world's highest mountains.

Tibet is one of the world's most extraordinary destinations and there is adventure lurking around almost each and every corner. It's the highest snow-covered plateau in the world. For centuries this mysterious Buddhist Kingdom, locked away in its mountain fortress of the Himalayas has been exercising its own fascination and uniqueness on the imagination of the outsiders. As the "Rooftop of the World" most of Tibet is too arid and cold to support human life and the place is hence very thinly populated. Outsiders are always impressed by the Tibetans' survival in the harsh environment and by their capability of managing to retain a remarkably cheerful outlook on life.
