Tibet Travel Information ...
Tibet - Roof of the World
North of the Himalayas lies the roof of the world, a magical
land of clear light and pure color rising more than two miles
above sea level. This is Tibet, a land of wide-open spaces,
ancient cultures, mystical Buddhist Tradition, richly decorated
monasteries and temples and an aura of Mystery. Once known as
the "Forbidden Land", Tibet now beckons adventurous
travelers with a taste for something truly different.
Despite years of social upheaval, Tibet's grandeur, magic and
mystery still remain undiminished-truly an adventurer's paradise.
Tibet's breathing Himalayan range rising from the Tibetan Plateau;
Holy Mt. Kailash; the ruins of lost cities Tsaprang and Tholing;
and lake Manasarovar, one of the highest freshwater lakes in
the world, are but a few places to which Earthbound Expeditions
can escort you, either by road by air. We will provide you with
all the necessary information. With a limited travel season
for this region (April- November), early reservations are highly
recommended to assure air transport availability.
The roof of the world Tibet is a unforgettable land of curious
nomads, mysterious gompas and breathtakingly vast panoramas.
In Lhasa, long the forbidden city, experience the timeless and
most holy Jokhang temple and see the legendary eighth-wonder
Potala Palace, go to visit the most Holy Mountain kaialsh and
fresh water lake at 4600 mtr Mansarovar or go visit the ruins
of Guge kingdom of 11th century. Admire north face of Mt.Everest
from the moonscape of Everest Base Camp and end Tibet tour in
exotic Kathmandu.
