The Tibetan Plateau lies north to the Nepal - Tibet border marked by the majestic Himalayan range including Mt. Everest. The vast landscape of Tibet is like one huge canvas of nature painted with numerous cliffs, cascades, canyons, verdant forests and barren dry lands with a captivating backdrop of snowy peaks.
There are several myths and legends associated with Tibet. It has a long political history, full of controversies, while Buddhism remains as the predominant religion. The form of Buddhism practiced in Tibet is generally known as Tibetan Buddhism and has a great influence on Tibetan culture.
Due to its political and geographical isolation from other the outer world, Tibet happens to be one of the most underdeveloped parts of the world.
