Tibet, one of the extra-ordinary destinations where indeed adventure lurks around every corner. Its name the "Roof of the World" is not a mere statement. The valley bottoms of Tibet are higher than the highest mountains elsewhere. Adventure on the road is never short on the beautiful Trans Himalayan drive of over 970 km, through four mountains passes, promising a panorama of a cultural and scenic diversity unsurpassable anywhere. The Buddhist monasteries of Drepung, once the largest, the Jokhang - a spiritual center, and the awesome palaces of the Dalai Lama - Norbulinkha (the summer Palace) and the Potala (the traditional seat) are some of the highlights of visit to Tibet.
