The decision to visit
Tibet - or at least to try to - is not one to be taken lightly. Not only
is it often difficult (especially as an individual traveler), dangerous
and expensive, but many would argue that travelers and tourists funnel
money into the hands of the occupying Chinese forces and "legitimize"
their presence. On the other hand, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has said
it is important that foreigners see Tibet - and then tell the world what
they have seen. If you are intrigued by the idea of visiting this
ancient and beautiful country, peruse the information on the sites
listed below to get some idea of what you are in for.

short on the beautiful Trans-Himalaya drive of over 970-kms, through
four mountain passes, promising a panorama of a cultural and scenic
diversity unsurpassable anywhere.
