Lhasa



Tibet, widely known as the "Roof of the World", is the highest inhabited region on the planet, with an average elevation of more than 4,000 meters. Located on a plateau north of the Himalayas, it is a mysterious, exotic place to many outsiders. Tibet's capital, Lhasa, is considered one of the most dreamed-about cities in the world. An ancient city dating back some 1,300 years, Lhasa is home to the magnificent Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple Monastery and Norbulingka (Garden of Treasures), all listed as world heritage sites.
