that is also a remote country. Southern side of this country is blocked by the high Himalayan peaks which

because of these rugged and high snow-capped mountains but they are also famous for the Tibet’s
Buddhism. It can be seen from the very site of monasteries, prayer flags and the temples which are
constructed in the honour of the Buddhist gods. All of this can be seen everywhere on the route to
Lhasa.
Good Tibet travel guide for a great experience
One can have a Tibet Travel Guide so that have can have a good travelling experience in this beautiful
place. The holy city of Tibet lays thirty six thousand above the sea level so at first one will not feel
comfortable in Tibet and will take some of time to acclimatise. One has got two marvellous places in
Lhasa which are potala palace and the Jokhang temple which is also known as the spiritual heart of the
Tibet. In Lhasa there are many places which are considered to be the most popular and famous sites for
the tourists among which the Drepung and Sera monasteries are also among them and these are the
schools for the Tibetan apprentice monks. One can find the famous and beautiful cliff top Ganden
Monastery just outside of the Lhasa at a distance of approx. thirty five kilometres.
Ways to improve you Tibet experience
Tibet travel can be made more adventurous and exciting if one takes journey through the friendship
highway to the Everest base camp. In this route the prayer flag are lined on the sides of the road and it
runs from Lhasa to Kathmandu in Nepal. In the way to the Everest base camp one will also pass blue lake
of Yamdrok-Tso which has a divine beauty. One can also have a look at the Sakya which is the home to
the most colourful and largest monasteries of Tibet.
Nam Tso which is also known as the heavenly lake is a salt lake which is situated at an altitude of 4730m.
This very lake serves as the spot of home to the nomadic Tibetans.
The main problem which a person faces is in choosing the right season to go to Tibet tour. Tibet Travel is
supposed to be good in the summer season as in winter season the atmosphere is dry and the
temperature goes down to extreme limits and thus it is not suggested to go to Tibet in winter season. As
in winter season there are other problems also. Most of the roads are generally covered in snow and is
thus not considered safe for travel and many of the routes are shut down because of the blockage and
danger. Thus one can travel and enjoy the beauty of this beautiful country in summer time.
