Welcome to Tibet - a region difficult to travel to, known for magnificent nature and an ancient culture, located in southwest China, on the Tibetan plateau, the highest on the earth.

Traditionally known as Tibet, the region has recently been referred to as Xizang. 

The Tangla mountain range rises in the south of Tibet: some of its peaks are higher than 7,000 metres. There are a confluence of two rivers: Brahmaputra and Nyang Chu on the West of Tibet. Sand dunes can be seen along the Brahmaputra river! The Brahmaputra river, also known in Tibet as Yarlung Tsangpo, bends on a huge loop around the Namjagbarwa mountain by cutting through one of the world's deepest canyons. From here, tourists can go up in a balloon, or remain on the ground and take eco-paths, enjoy the surrounding beauty from the viewing spots and have a rest in extravagant camping hotels.

Here the most spectacular view can be found: the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon. It stands between two 7,000-meter high peaks: Gyala Peri and Namjagbarwa. The canyon's average depth is 2,268 metres, the deepest depth reaches 6,009 metres. On the canyon's slopes there are eco-hotels and viewing platforms for tourists; still, one should remember that this is a high-altitude region where most people feel the lack of oxygen. However, all buses offer oxygen supplies, and at all viewing platforms one can buy personal oxygen tanks and oxygen bags.
