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.
