Tibet, the Roof of the World, is renowned for its dramatic Himalayan landscapes, unique Buddhist culture, and spiritual heritage.

Overview
Located on the Tibetan Plateau, north of the Himalayas, Tibet offers travelers breathtaking scenery, including some of the world’s tallest peaks, expansive high-altitude deserts, and sacred lakes. Tibet is a spiritual and cultural heartland of Tibetan Buddhism, with a rich history of monasteries, palaces, and festivals.

Details
Key destinations in Tibet include Lhasa with the iconic Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and Barkhor Street; Shigatse with Tashilhunpo Monastery; and Mount Everest’s North Base Camp. Tibet offers trekking and high-altitude adventure routes such as the Rongbuk Glacier trek and the Kailash Kora pilgrimage. The region’s culture is deeply tied to Tibetan Buddhism, reflected in its monasteries, prayer flags, and festivals. Due to its high elevation (often above 4,000 m), travelers need to acclimatize carefully. The best seasons to visit are spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October), when weather is clear and favorable for trekking and sightseeing.
