Tibet is a historically rich plateau region in Asia, located in the Himalayas and often referred to as the "Roof of the World" due to its high altitude. Known for its distinct Tibetan Buddhist culture, Tibet has been a center of spirituality and pilgrimage for centuries. Its capital, Lhasa, is home to the iconic Potala Palace, a former residence of the Dalai Lama. The region's landscapes are marked by vast plateaus, towering mountains, and remote monasteries.
