Tibet is a traditional homeland of Tibetan people. It is also known as “Roof of the World”. Tibet is the highest elevation on earth with an average elevation of 4900 meters (1600ft).

Overall Tibetan history is tumultuous, Tibet has spent some periods functioning as an independent entity and others ruled by powerful Mongolian and Chinese dynasties.
Similarly, in 1950 China enforced thousands of troops to claim the region. After that some regions became Tibetan Autonomous Region and some were incorporated into neighboring Chinese provinces.
In 1959, anti-Chinese uprising failed and the 14th Dalai Lama fled to India as exile. Thus, Tibet’s monasteries were mostly destroyed during China’s Cultural Revolution in 1960s and 4970s. Thousands of Tibetans are believed to lose their life during the period of repression and martial law.

Continue uphill on foot for 1.5-hours (with porters) to reach the border town of Zhangmu. Here we formally clear Chinese immigration and then spend the night in a Chinese hotel at Zhangmu.
Today’s drive goes from the lush, green lower hills into the dry, arid landscape of the Tibetan plateau. Cross several high passes including the Lalung La (5050m) from which (if weather permits) there is an amazing panorama of the Himalayan range including Mt. Everest – a fitting backdrop to the vastness of the Tibetan plateau.
