Tibet has a long and complex
history, written records have survived from
the 7th Century A.D. however it is known that
nomadic tribes populated Tibet as early as the
2nd Century B.C. and discoveries suggest a much
longer history of human kind...More recent times
have seen the invasion of China in 1959 and
the inevitable dilution of Tibetan culture.
Tibet however has proved over the years since,
that its way of life has been able to withstand
this influence. Power of thought and life itself
overcoming the modern ravages of politics.
The journey to unlock the complexities
posed by this arid mass of discovery (almost
the size of Europe) begins with probably the
most dramatic flight in the world. From Kathmandu,
you journey the huge backbone of the High Himalayas
to land deep in the heart of the Tibetan plateau.
A further two hours drive by road through barren
wilderness Lhasa, the capital and home to the
famous Potala Palace unfolds. Lhasa remains
the major focus of Buddhist worship anywhere
in the world, a place for the traveler to cast
away any preconceptions he or she may have and
join in Tibet's journey of discovery along the
way... at least for a while.
Geography
Geographically Tibet can be
divided into three parts; the East, the South
and the North. The Eastern part is forest region
which occupies around 25% of Tibet. The Southern
part is open grassland occupying almost a half
of Tibet. The Southern and Central region is
an agricultural region occupying the rest of
Tibet as well as containing all the major cities
Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse, Gyatsa, and Tsedang
. This area is also considered as the cultural
center of Tibet and Buddhism.
