Tibet
is indeed a very rich and beautiful land, located on the highest
plateau on Earth at an average altitude over 4000 meter. It
is nowadays the South west frontier of China. Within its borders
there are more than fifteen peaks above 7000 m. among which
eleven are over 8000m. It borders with Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai
and Xinjiang; in the North, Nepal, India, Sikkim, Bhutan Burma
and Kashmir form its Southern borders.
The Tibet Autonomous region with a population of over two million covers an area
of 1.2 million sq. km. Tibet has a long and complex history,
written records have survived from the 7th Century A.D.
|
| however it
is known that nomadic tribes populated Tibet as early as the
2nd Century B.C. and discoveries suggest a much longer history
of human kind... More recent times have seen the invasion
of China in 1959 and the inevitable dilution of Tibetan culture.
Tibet however has proved over the years since, that its way
of life has been able to withstand this influence. Power of
thought and life itself overcoming the modern ravages of politics.
The journey to unlock the complexities
posed by this arid mass of discovery (almost the size of Europe)
begins with probably the most dramatic flight in the world.
From Kathmandu, you journey the huge backbone of the High
Himalayas to land deep in the heart of the Tibetan plateau.
A further two hours drive by road through barren wilderness
Lhasa, the capital and home to the famous Potala Palace unfolds.
Lhasa remains the major focus of Buddhist worship anywhere
in the world, a place for the traveler to cast away any preconceptions
he or she may have and join in Tibet's journey of discovery
along the way... at least for a while. |
| Geography
Geographically Tibet can
be divided into three parts; the East, the South and the North.
The Eastern part is forest region which occupies around 25%
of Tibet. The Southern part is open grassland occupying almost
a half of Tibet. The Southern and Central region is an agricultural
region occupying the rest of Tibet as well as containing all
the major cities Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse, Gyatsa, and Tsedang
. This area is also considered as the cultural center of Tibet
and Buddhism.
