Tibet is located at the north border of Nepal and is also known as “the Roof of the World.” A unique geographic setting has given this nation an exceptionally sacred mountain, Mt. Kailash, believed to be the home of Lord Shiva.
The biggest and highest plateaus in the world lie in the country that is also famous for its rich culture and hospitality. Although a part of China, the predominant residents of this country are Tibetans, followed by many minor nationalities and rural indigenous tribes.
It is freezing cold around the year but most tourists come to visit during its warmest months, June, July, August, and early September. The major tourist attractions include the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Jokhang Temple, and various Buddhist sanctuaries.
