Tibet

Tibet is an almost mythical destination, and yet the reality manages to surpass expectations. Extraordinarily beautiful, the landscape of Tibet has led to the title 'roof of the world', with the capital Lhasa at an altitude of 12,000 feet above sea level. Dominated by the Potala – once the seat of the government of Tibet, and the tomb of former Dalai Lamas – Lhasa is an amazing city that feels like going back in time. Explore monasteries like Tashilhunpo, or the Jokhang Temple that throngs with pilgrims, and discover the deep-rooted belief that binds Tibet together. Discover the serene beauty of Tibet , the country which inspired the Dalai Lama. From narrow alleyways and buzzing bazaars to spectacular views of the world's highest mountain range.
