Tibet is a magical region that is unique and stunningly beautiful. The local people are devout and hospitable, the landscapes utterly breathtaking and the atmosphere something from a dream. A traveler’s first stop in Tibet itself should be Lhasa, the capital and home to some of the holiest Buddhist centres and pilgrims in the world. Outside Lhasa, the second largest town in Tibet is Shigatse, which boasts ancient architecture and a vibrant Old Tibetan Quarter and is the traditional seat of the Panchen Lama. The snowcapped mountains, verdant valleys and Himalayan backdrop outside the town all make for lasting memories.
