Introduction to Short Tibet Tour
Short Tibet Tour will take you to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. Located right next to the Lhasa River, this valley is considered the heart of Tibet. It has its own history, religion, culture, and tradition. This Trip is also known as Tibet Basic Tour.
Full of beautiful mountain scenery and rich cultural heritage, Tibet is a place worth visiting, located at an average altitude of 4000 meters on the highest plateau in the world. Located on the southwestern border of China, Tibet is indeed a very rich and beautiful land. This Short Tibet Tour is an easy and enjoyable trip.
In the Tibetan language, “Lhasa” means holy land or Buddhist land. It is the center of Tibet’s politics, economy, culture, and tourism. It is busy and modern and looks like many other Chinese cities. Most infrastructure, such as banks and government offices, can be found there.
Visit Historical Monasteries During The Trip
The Tibetan people have been practicing Tibetan Buddhism and Bon. Historic Buddhist monasteries are still in the same structure that the Tibetans have well preserved.
