Tibet, a rich and
beautiful land, is located at the main part of Qinghai-Tibet
plateau, south-West frontier of China. Tibet borders with
Sichuan, Yuannan, Qinghai And Xinjiang; to the south contiguous
to India, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Burma, and bounded by
Kashmir on the west.
When the word Tibet is mentioned something icy chills the
readers' nerves. In fact it snows only once or twice in a year
and owing to the perpetuity of bright sunshine, it is not at all
cold during the daytime even in the coldest of the winter. Tibet
is so sunny that it produces a year round sunshine of over 3,000
hours in a year. Its old name-"land of snow" the name by which
Tibet is almost popularly known as, is always thickly covered
with snow with hardly any signs of inhabitation. In fact, it is
correct only when it is referred to the world greatest ranges
located in Ima, the Tisi, and like. These ranges, run by leaps
and bounds across the country showing their beautiful snow
covered peaks against the bluest of skies. |
