Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) is located in the southwest of China, with a land area of 1.22 million square kilometers (the second largest region of China). Behind the world’s highest mountain range is the mystical land, Tibet. It shares borders with India, Nepal, Myanmar (Burma) and Bhutan. The historical province of Tibet would make it the world’s 10th largest nation by geographical area. The average elevation of Tibet is over 4000 meter / 13,123 feet thereby making it the world’s highest plateau and rightly known as the ‘Roof of the world’.
