Capital Of Tibet

Tibet is situated at the heart of Asia, and home of the highest mountain peaks in the world, the great Himalayas. This ancient land has enthralled people from all over the world with its majestic beauty and spectacular landscapes. Tibet is often referred to as the Roof of the World because it is the highest plateau on the face of the earth. For many centuries, outsiders were restricted to scale the great peaks by the country’s theocratic rulers. However, there are now many Tibet treks and tours organized especially for tourists.

I bet you all heard some news and information about Tibet. But, do you find those news and information enough for you to understand all about the place? Do you know that Tibet is located in China and has been considered throughout Asia and the world as the “Roof of the World”? Many of the people I know who are somehow familiar with Tibet are still craving for more information that can enlighten them about the place. They wanted to know more about Tibet simply for the reason that Tibet is recognized as a popular destination not only in Asia, but in the world. And perhaps another reason for this is that they wanted to know exactly what truly makes Tibet worth visiting, or perhaps they are planning to go to China and want to experience the Tibetan way of life even for just an hour.

So you’re planning to travel to Tibet one of these days. Hmmthat’s a good idea. Tibet, after all, can easily be reached and is now open to tourists. Thus traveling to Tibet is not so much of a problem.

However, there are still some factors that may affect the success of your travel to Tibet. The weather, for instance, is a big factor to consider. So for that fact, I have mentioned below a few of the most helpful Tibet travel advices. Consider the following:

Tibet is one of the most well-known places on earth, known by people of all ages. It has been visited by millions of people coming from all over the world, and all of its reputation can be associated with all the wonders that Tibet has to offer, including centuries old monasteries and temples, palaces, arts, technologies, religion, and a history that is so varied, yet interesting.

Heard about sky burial? You probably have witnessed this while spending your vacation in Tibet. Tibet sky burial is one of the weirdest, yet considered sacred funeral rituals of the Tibetan. Its origin is still hidden along with the other mysteries of Tibet, although it was believed that the Drigung Kagyu order of the Tibetan Buddhism was the one who founded the tradition which continues until these days.

The Tibet Shigatse region is situated in the southern part of the country that has the highest peak in the world. More commonly called “Tsang” by the local inhabitants, the Tibet Shigatse region has an area of 182,000 square kilometers, consisting of 17 counties. It is the second largest city in Tibet; the Shigatse City is the heart of its economic and political activities. It is also the official seat of the Panchen Lamas and is considered a sovereign place in Tsang. The Tingri County, a close neighbor of the Tibet Shigatse region is the home of Mt. Everest, globally famous for its majestic peaks, unrivaled by any other mountain.

Tibet has remained for long years as one of the most mysterious places on earth. It has all the practices and traditions that may appear to be somewhat odd and unique to others, especially those who are not Tibetans. Well, one of the most well-known practices in Tibet that is considered by many as mysterious is the so-called “Five Tibetan Rejuvenation Rites”.
