Also
called the “roof of the world”, Tibet has some of the world’s oldest glaciers,
highest mountains, and the beautiful and turquoise lakes among many other
natural wonders and features. The challenging plateaus, passes, snow-capped
mountains and moonscape lands bring to Tibet trekkers from around the world.
Remember
that a trip or Tibet trekking tour may require a prior arrangement of road and
travel permits. People from mainland China, Hong
Kong, and Taiwan can enter Tibet without Visa, but the same facility does not extend
to international tourists. A flight to Tibet across the Himalayas is a
memorable and out of the world experience in itself. The Qinghai-Tibet railway
track is also the highest in the world.
