| Tibet is a region of some
500,000 square miles set at an average altitude
of 3000 meters; it is as big as Western Europe. In the rain
shadow area of the vast Himalayan mountain range;
its average yearly rainfall is regularly exceeded by an average
rainy month in Holland. It is a land of endless steppes, where
glittering peaks rise out of high altitude dry lands and desert
and beautifully Verdant River gorges
flourish under cobalt striking blue skies. Landlocked in a
mountain fastness, behind the world's highest mountain range
it has been known as Shangri-La. The land of snows and the
Roof of the World. Tibet is enriched by the
lingering impression of the most lavishly decorated huge monasteries
& temples, saffron colored monks, ever smiling people
& their typical lifestyle and above all, the challenging
Himalayas.
