Tibet
Tibet
one of those extraordinary destination where indeed adventure
lurks around every corner! Adventure on the road is never short
on the beautiful Trans Himalayan drive, through mountain, passes,
promising a panorama of a cultural and scenic diversity unsurpassable
anywhere. It culminates on an arid plateau - a varitable treasure
trove of architectural masterpieces - the Buddhist monasteries
of Drepung, once the largest in the country The Jhokhang
- a spiritual center, and the awesome palaces of the Dalai Lama
- Norbulinga ( the summer palace ) and the Potala
(the
traditional seat ). Ancient Barkhor Bazaar still barters the
bric - a - brac, in a region that’s not so much a little strange
as utterly surreal.
