| "For your
vacation of a lifetime"
Tibet,
being roof top destination for travelers of the world, has
been fascinating for mankind since it's door opened for foreigners.
Mystical, Tibet, meaning 'Holy Land', situated at the tranquil
and calming landscape of snow capped mountains glistering
in the brilliant sun against a backdrop of deep blue sky offers
a unique panorama for you to enjoy your vacation of lifetime!
This land of mysteries, forbidden not only by man before but
also by nature, appealed to so many explorers, scholars, pilgrims
and adventurers in the past hoping to find probably the real
"Shangri-La". In those days Lhasa, capital and the
center of Tibetan culture, religion and Lama theology, was
so far away from rest of the world.
Now, Tibet is much more accessible by air and over land. Tourist's
inflow to Tibet has risen almost every year to experience
the insight of the Buddhist culture, people, ancient monasteries
and colorful festivals dating back hundreds of years.
