Tibet: The Roof of the World!

Tibet is often called the "Roof of the World" because it sits on the highest plateau on Earth, the Tibetan Plateau. With an average elevation of 4,500 meters (14,800 feet) above sea level, it’s the largest and highest plateau, covering about 2.5 million square kilometers. This high altitude influences its climate and culture, making Tibet one of the most unique regions globally. The thin air and rugged terrain add to the mystique of the region, attracting adventurers and spiritual seekers from around the world.
