Tibet Travel Info

Tibet's history is as vast and intriguing as its landscapes. The ancient Tibetan Empire, which emerged in the 7th century, played a crucial role in shaping the region's identity. One of the most significant milestones was the introduction of Buddhism, which profoundly influenced Tibetan culture and daily life. 

The region became a spiritual hub, with countless monasteries like the iconic Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple, both of which are now UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These sites not only stand as architectural marvels but also as symbols of Tibet's rich cultural heritage. Tibetan art, including intricate thangka paintings and vibrant prayer flags, reflects the deep spiritual beliefs and artistic talents of its people, adding a colorful dimension to its cultural landscape.
