Tibet has fascinated mankind for centuries. This
land, amid the mighty Himalayas and set upon the
highest plateau of the world, was long inaccessible
to the outside world. Fortunately, the doors have

Tibet.

rich natural resources and ancient cultures.

and rivers, and mighty snow clad peaks are just a
