The
Roof of the World
Refereed
as Shangri La, The forbidden Land, The
Roof of the World, and by many more, the
mysterious Buddhist Kingdom remained long
closed to foreigners, exerting a strong
hold on the imagination of the world.
For centuries, it has fascinated mankind.
It was hardly accessible to the outside
world and has been always a challenge
to human beings. Tibet, a "forbidden
land" not only by man but also by
nature, attracted many explorers, scholars,
and pilgrims and adventure lovers, all
in pursuit of "Real Shangri La".
It
is not only the geographical and natural
enchants but also a long historical culture
and religion that appeal the foreigners
to visit Tibet at least once in a lifetime.
