| A Quick Explore to the City of Wonders
 Tibet was, until 1950, a closed country that had been visited by only a handful of people. Today, visiting Tibet is considerably easier, but the adventure remains. Tibet is a land unlike any other, a magical realm of vast open spaces and clear light and pure color, dominated by an intensely blue sky. While remote corners of the world fell to inevitable modernization, this vast mountain-locked land was left alone for centuries to develop a unique civilization of the "Roof of the World". This remote land shelters an ancient and highly developed culture revolving around a unique form of Buddhism. Tibet is studded with gilt-roofed temples and richly decorate monastery. Norbu lingka the summer palace of Dalai Lama Gyantse the third most important city, Jokhang Temple the most revered temple in Lhasa, Barkhore street, Drepung Monastery are the most visited places around Tibet. Tasgilhumpo Monastery-one of the most important centers of Buddhism is situated in Shigatse the second largest city in Tibet and detailed tour of Sera Monastery founded in 1419 are highlight of the tour of Tibet.
For centuries, Hindus and Buddhism alike as the Throne of the Gods and the mystical center of the universe have revered this snowcapped mountain in western Tibet. Two lakes, Manasarowar and Rakastal, lie at the southern fot of Mt. Kailash. Ritual bathing in the lakes is performed to wash away sins.
