About Tibet
Tibet enlightens you, and insight is interpreted everywhere. It is a land as abstruse as that millions of pilgrims all embrace it as the world center of holiness.
But it's natural enough for Tibet, for that the Himalayas has been the venue of rich legends and myths since a time, for that the river Brahmaputra is running the same way as it surged before mankind, and Ngari, the region known as the Roof of the World, that strikes associations with the heaven.
The Tibet religious place and full of natural enough, which is best for the Trek. The all-year round ice and snow that cover and seal this land and the subtle blinking waves of lakes betray it. It is each through murmuring prayers floating in the air between temples invisible among mountains and lakes. In front of the majestic Guge Dynasty relics, you feel the time backing. On the vast grassland, hearing the neighs of troops of free wild horses; you produce an admiration to the crude life in Tibet as it has been. Tibet is suitable and best place to do the trek for all the people. It means adventure for courageous people who overcome the hardships and dangers to come to it. It is where dream is realized for people who love the world and are seeking its beauty.
Geographically, Tibet divided into three major parts, the east, north and south. The eastern part is forest region, occupying approximately one-fourth of the land. Virgin forests run the entire breadth and length of this part of Tibet. The northern part is open grassland, where nomads, yak, and sheep dwell here. This part occupies approximately half of Tibet. The southern and central part is agricultural region, occupying about one-fourth of Tibet's land area. With all major Tibetan cities and towns such as Lhasa, Shigatse, Gyantse ad Tsetang located in this area, it is considered the cultural center of tibet. The total area of the Tibet Autonomous Region is 1,200,000 square kilometers and its population is 1,890,000. The region administratively divided into one municipality and six prefectures. The municipality is Lhasa, while the six prefectures are Shigatse, Ngari, Lhaoka, Chamdo, Nakchu and Nyingtri(kongpo). The People's Government of the Tibet Autonomous Region exercises the high-test administrative authority in Tibet.
Tibet has its own history. Evidence of human habitation dating between 12,000 and 11,000 years ago has been found in NW Tibet, and in S Tibet, the Yarlung Zangbo valley was, over the centuries, the focus of ancient trade routes from India, China, and Central Asia. Tibet emerged from an obscure history to flourish in the seventh cent. A.D. as an independent kingdom with its capital at Lhasa. The Chinese first established relations with Tibet during the T'ang dynasty (618–906), and there were frequent wars of conquest. The Tibetan kingdom was associated with early Mahayana Buddhism, which the scholar and mystic Padmasambhava fashioned (8th cent.) into Tibetan Buddhism towards the end of the 12th cen many Indian Buddhists, fleeing before the Muslim invasion, went to Tibet. In 13th century, Tibet fell under Mongol influence, which was to last until the 18th cent. In 1270, Kublai Khan,” Emperor of China was converted to Buddhism by the abbot of the Sakya lamasery; the abbot returned to Tibet to found the Sakya dynasty (12701340) and to become the first lama to rule Tibet. In 1720, the Ch'ing dynasty replaced Mongol rule in Tibet. China thereafter claimed suzerainty, often merely nominal.
