INTRODUCTION
No land has captured man's imagination
for its remoteness & almost
mystical aura as TIBET, the forbidden
kingdom on the roof of the world.
Captivated by Tibet's mystic charm
& ruggedness great explorers
& adventurers of the century
have ventured into this holy land
rendered inaccessible by the hostile
natural conditions & bandits
that waylaid them across through
the Himalayas.
Despite untold
ravages brought about during
the Cultural Revolution, Tibet's
past grandeur, majesty, magic
& mystery still remains
undiminished. One can still
see today nomads herding their
yaks, pilgrims worshipping at
sacred shrines & the expansive,
striking & enduring Himalayan
topography. Tibet is truly an
`adventurers' paradise'.
