Tibet is a region located in Central Asia, often referred to as the “Roof of the World” due to its high elevation in the Himalayas. It is culturally and historically significant, known for its unique Tibetan Buddhism, rich traditions, and distinct language. Geographically, Tibet covers the Tibetan Plateau, which is one of the highest and largest plateaus on Earth. The region has a complex political history, having been an autonomous region with its own government and religious leaders, notably the Dalai Lama, before becoming incorporated into the People’s Republic of China in the mid-20th century. Tibetans have a profound spiritual connection to the land, which is believed to be sacred, and their culture emphasizes harmony with nature and the pursuit of enlightenment. Today, Tibet remains a subject of international interest due to its cultural heritage and the ongoing discussions surrounding its political status and human rights issues.
