"Sharrie's Tibet Footpath" Tibet by Sharrie
Tibet Travel Guide: 1,343 reviews and 3,914 photos
TIBET mystifies! Sacred mountains glinting with ice, numerous holy lakes, high altitude deserts, a lifestyle only fit for the nomads & yak, a belief only practised by the most devoted believers of Lamaism; it is a land of harsh condition & yet a land where faith exists in abundance & in its purest form! Tibet is a country untouched by time... yet, a contradiction in this new age, high tech world.
What brings me to Tibet? Perhaps it was Brad Pitt's movie "7 Years in Tibet", perhaps it was "The Little Buddha", perhaps it was Dalai Lama's books & wisdom, or perhaps it was sheer rebellion. I wanted to visit a place where no one in the family or friends has ever been to & with that determination, I set out to see this part of the world. This is possibly the beginning of my journey in life & self discovery!
