August 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Known as the roof of the world, Tibet holds one and all in awe. The autonomous region of Tibet shares its borders with India, Nepal and Bhutan and is the cradle of some of the greatest rivers like the Tsangpo (Brahmaputra), Yangtze, Mekong River, Salween River and many more. There are over 1500 lakes in Tibet including the heavenly lake Namtso and the revered Hindu lake called the Mansarovar. Tibet is a land of Buddhist monks and monasteries, high rise mountains that cross the 8,000m range, frozen lakes, gurgling rivers and deep gorges, inhospitable terrain and warm people. Due to the recent opening of the railway track connecting Lhasa to mainland China, it is easier to access Tibet. From the Potala Palace in Lhasa to a cup of tea made from Yak milk on the Bayan Khala mountain pass, Tibet is a land of extremes. Some of the prettiest pictures in Tibet include the Yam Drok Lake and the nomads of Drido county.

Sri Lanka is a part of the mighty Indian subcontinent. It is in the form of a tear and is often referred to as the Teardrop of India, Island of Dharma, or even the Pearl of the Orient. This is an extremely beautiful island known for its richness in diversity and beauty of the landscape. It has been invaded in the past by the Portuguese, Dutch, Indians and the British they have all left their mark through monuments and other historical structures. Sri Lanka has also been in a state of crisis for quite some time now. There have the merging problem of LTTE militants and they are yet to come to terms with the Tsunami disaster that struck on an early December morning.
