Geographically
Tibet can be divided into three parts;
the East, the South and the North.
The Eastern part is forest region,
which occupies around 25% of Tibet.
The Southern part is open grassland
occupying almost a half of Tibet.
The Southern and Central region is
an agricultural region occupying the
rest of Tibet as well as containing
all the major cities Lhasa, Gyantse,
Shigatse, Gantse, and Tsedang . This
area is also considered as the cultural
center of Tibet and Buddhism. !

Lhasa
|
With
more than 3000 hours of sunshine
annually, Lhasa is famed as 'the
city of sunshine'. Sunlight is
extremely intense. Sunscreen lotion,
a save for lips and sunglasses
are a must. Clothing should be
simple and consist of layers that
can be added or removed as temperatures
vary during the day. |

Few
mountains in the world rival the
grandeur of Mount Kailash (6714m),
the famed holy peak in Western
Tibet. Kailash has long been an
object of worship for four major
religions. For the Hindu, it is
the domain of Shiva.
