Welcome to our Tibet home page
 Tibet has fascinated mankind for centuries. This land, amid the
mighty Himalayas and set upon the highest plateau of the world,
was long inaccessible to the outside world. Fortunately, the
doors have been opened to the 'Roof of the World' and foreigners
can now visit the 'Forbidden Land' of Tibet.
Tibet is a rich and beautiful land with an average altitude over
4,000m (13,120ft) above sea level. Possessing more than fifty
peaks above7,000m (22,960ft), Tibet is home to
eleven Himalayan mountains over 8,000m (26,240ft). China, India,
Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, Burma and Kashmir all border Tibet. Over
two million people inhabit this land of rich natural resources
and ancient cultures.
Spiritual traditions, temples and monasteries, lakes and rivers,
and mighty snow clad peaks are just a few of the intoxicating
wonders to be experienced by adventurous travellers who get the
opportunity to visit this land. Buddhism, with a history of some
1,300 years is shaped into a unique form of "Lamaism". Tibetan
history, culture and religion are mixed together and infiltrate
every aspect of social life. Tibetan religious arts have a
distinctive style with adoption of Indian and Chinese Buddhist
influence, thus forming a pearl of Oriental Buddhist art. The
various people who live on the Tibetan plateau, such as
Tibetans, Monpas, Lhopas and Moslems, each have their own unique
of traditions of marriage, burial birth, and other ceremonies.
