Welcome in Tibet (西藏)
Welcome in Tibet (西藏)
Official Tibet is a Chinese province, called the TAR (Tibetan Autonomous Region – 西藏自治區). To enter that part of the country every tourist needs a specific entrance permit form the government with the specified travel destinations and hotels in.
We did not apply for that permit, so we are not allowed to enter the TAR-region. Nonetheless, the Tibetan influence is not limited to that part of the country. The Tibetan plateau of the Himalaya stretches into the provinces SìChuān (四川), GānSù (甘肅) and QīngHăi (青烸). According to the Tibetans all these parts are connected in the traditional country of Tibet. It are these provinces we’ll travel through to get an impression of the rich and old Tibetan Culture.
Their spiritual leader is the Dalai Lama (Ocean of Wisdom).
