A
sacred land of myths and mysteries, inhabited
by the ever smiling and friendly people
of Mongoloid origin, Tibet still remains
one of the most intriguing, remote, underdeveloped
part of the world. Ever since the time
of British Raj in India many forei
gn
intrepid explorers time & again tried
to unfold the inner fold of Tibet with
their might & mettle, but for its
most formidable Himalayan ranges and the
remote topography all were in vain. It
was lately that the land has been opened
to one and all. Its eye ogling panorama,
mind boggling mysticism, timeless splendor
and uniqueness in its traditions has earned
Tibet the name Shangrila of the earth.
Because of these enigmatic characteristics
of Tibet, foreign missionaries, Scholors,
mystics, soldiers and geographers for
centuries had been trying to unravel the
inner mysteries of this forbidden land.
A
trip to Tibet is not for the ones who
is timid or faint hearted for the traveling
can be hard and in harsh conditions, treacherous
and unpredictable. Due to Tibet's high
altitude travelers with a history of heart,
lung or anemia should consult a doctor
before stipulating about the travel.
Thus
Tibet remains one of the most interesting,
remote and undeveloped part of the world
situated at an average elevation of 5,000
m (16,500 ft.) above sea level. It's limited
facilities for tourists are only approaching
a reasonable standard.
Visitors
should also understand before taking this
trip that Tibet was only opened to tourism
only a decade ago or so. The infrastructure
of the tourists' industry is still basic
in this remote country. As such please
do not expect the standards you are accustomed
to in the West. However, every effort
will be made under the circumstances to
ensure a smooth and pleasant trip.
