Getting to know Tibet

Geographically speaking plateau of Tibet spans several provinces that include Qinghai, northern Yunnan, western Sichuan and southwestern Gansu. The plateau of Tibet is bounded by two powerful ranges in the form of Himalayan range and the Thanggula range. The plateau of Tibet is exposed to the unshielded cold breeze from northern region. Meanwhile the southern equatorial and tropical air movement hardly penetrates Himalayan region in central Asia. During summer the surface gets heated producing warm temperature and it gets freezing during the winter months thus Tibet experiences changeable weather and climate conditions throughout the year.

As far as transportation is concerned Tibet has a decent transportation network to allow the movement of people within the region and from different parts of the world. In terms of domestic transportation some of the common modes of transportation that you can find here includes buses, jeeps, hitch-hikes and bicycles amongst other options. The jeeps are one of the most popular mode of transportation owing to its wide scale operations. Travelling with jeeps is not particularly cheap but the tour operators handle all the required paperwork and you can stick to your pre-defined schedule when moving in and around the place.
