The capital city if Lhasa Tibet: Lhasa is the administrative capital city of Tibet. It is situated on a plain over 13,000 feet above sea level. Tibet has fluctuating history since ages. King Songzan Gampo (617-650 A.D.) unified it and introduced Sanskrit alphabet before 17th century in Tibet. Buddhism flourish to China from India It is believed that pilgrims traveling the "Silk Road" far to the north centuries ago brought Buddhism which later turned as Lamaism (Bonpo in Tibetan Language). A rebirth of Zongkaba, the founder of the "yellow Hat" sect devoted to religious reform, became the first Dalai Lama in 1573.

The Potala Palace is the most popular heritage of Lhasa. The Red Mountain (Marpo Ri) serves as a wonder place to acclimatize for visitors. It is also the residence of the Dalai Lamas. Divided into White and Red Palaces- an earlier fortress, the complex rises 110 m (360 fits) high and extends 360 m (1,200 fits) across, and was one of the tallest buildings of the world before the era of modern skyscrapers. This palace raises13 stories and has over a thousand rooms with around 200,000 images. It is said that, the palace complex took the labor of more than 7,000 workers and 1,500 artists for more than fifty years to complete.

Mount Everest base camp (5200m), which is the root of the world’s tallest peak is a dream destination for the tourists/visitors and Kailash Yatris. It offers fabulous views of snowy Himalayan peaks, beautiful landscape and an insight into the local Tibetan Sherpa culture. Despite of unpredictable climatic conditions, difficult terrain and slippery snowy paths, thousands of travelers’ thrill into Everest Base Camp Expedition. The Tibet side Northern base camp seems crowded of tents of Everest climbers during April, May than in Southern base camp. There is Rongbuk Monastery with the fine lodges and hotels just below the camp.

The unique four faced Mount Kailash situated at an elevation of 6714 meters above sea level is believed to be the sacred abode of the gods and goddesses and the exact center of the entire universe. Tibetan locals refer this mountain to as Kang Rinpoche (literally meaning 'a sparkling mass of snow') while some other believers relate this mountain to Mt. Meru of Hindu mythology. As per this it is mother to four great holy rivers, namely, The Karnali, The Indus, The Sutlej and The Brahmaputra. Hindus worship this black peak as the dwelling place of Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati.

Holy Mansarovar Lake (Manas); In Sanskrit, ‘Manas’ means ‘mind or consciousness’ and ‘Sarovar’ means ‘Lake’. Hence Mansarovar (4580m) means the Lake of purity and holiness. Not only Hindus, Buddhist also has great faith upon this Lake as the meditating spot of Lord Buddha.

One single dip into this holy Lake is believed, by Hindus, to relinquish the soul of all its sins thus carving a straight path to Shiva’s place after end of this mortal life. Ancient Hindu scriptures indicate this Lake as a must-visit place for those who want to attain Salvation called ‘Mokshya’. Many others also come to take a bath in the Lake with a belief of being youthful and strong forever. But, this Lake is so mighty that it takes 3 days just to go around its periphery.

Zenda – Tolling (Guge valley)

In the word ‘Zenda- Tolling’, Tolling is the name of town & Zenda is the name of county situated north to Darchen. Tolling is the biggest and beautiful ancient city in Zenda country (3600m) region and Guge kingdom is 15 Kilometer far from here. Tolling city was built and developed by harmonizing ancient civilization and Buddhist culture. It is regarded as a pure pilgrimage site which is 220 km away on the way to Tirthpuri from Darchen. Varieties of flora can be observed around Zenda country. Within a day travelers must cross 5000m elevations so they may feel quiet hot during day time. According to local people, long time back this area suffered from big war resulting dispersion of people into different regions. Tolling is also popular for two interesting monasteries, one is 2-3 km away from the city and the other one is located inside the city. The oldest one is Tolling Monastery reflecting ancient arts and scripture of Buddha as per locals. But, tourist visiting this monastery feels need of proper preservation of art and the scripture at this place.

The breathtaking views of the Himalayan ranges including the world’s tallest summit, Mt. Everest (8848m) while being in an hour long Trans -Himalayan flight on your way back from Lhasa to Kathmandu makes the trip more exciting.
