Essence of Tibet Tour( Code: TIBET/PTT/TR 03) |

|
| |
Tibet autonomous
region, the mystic Shangri-la, roof of the world, has captured
man's imagination for centuries. Great explorers and adventures of
the country have ventured into this holy land rendered inaccessible
by the hostile natural conditions and bandits that waylaid them
across through the Himalayas. Tibet's past grandeur, majesty, magic
and mystery still remain undiminished. One can still see today
namads herding their yaks, pildrims worshipping at sacred shrines,
as well as the expansive, striking and enduring Himalayan
topography.
