Tibet, the largest and highest plateau on the earth, is surrounded by the most extensive jumble of mountains found on any continent. Stretching for almost 1600 miles (2500km) and forming its entire southern boundary is the Himalayas, and along its western extremity is the equally rugged Karakoram. Between these two ranges are all fourteen of the world’s 8000-meter peaks, including Mount Everest. In Northern Tibet, the plateau is a high, arid expanse known as the Changthang, the “Northern Plains”, while Eastern Tibet is bounded by a succession of mountains where three of Asia’s largest rivers cut deep, parallel gorges on their journey from the plateau to the sea. Despite the natural beauties and astonishing landscapes, crystal blue plateau lakes, and mystical Buddhist culture, the diverse topography, and high altitude climate made Tibet Trekking Tours the ultimate challenging target for many adventurers or professional trekkers.
