Tibet:

Tibet is a destination that belongs to a more difficult category. Once in the mountains, the lack of any support infrastructure obliges the traveller to supply their own (tents, cooking equipment etc.)  Add to this the difficulties of a cold climate and altitude always in excess of 4000m. But what an experience, and what a voyage in time as well as space! The Tibetan culture, or what remains of it, is a fabulous lesson in life.  

For more information, see the data sheet., the map.and, for those who like stories, the Quadriplegic report.
