Tibet is one of the world's most extraordinary destinations and there is adventure indeed lurking around almost each and every corner.

Lhasa The capital lies high in the arid wilderness of the Tibetan mountains, it's name the "Roof of the World" is no idle statement. The valley bottoms of Tibet are higher than the highest mountains elsewhere .

It's snow covered plateaux are the highest in the world , and apart from the Everest , which Tibetans see from 'the other side', many mountains are over 15000 feet Tibet is probably the only destination among the Himalayas that's not as known for its adventure circuits as the rest are.
