Tibet: Re-Opening for Tourists!

After being closed to visitors for the second time this year, Tibet is set to re-open to tourists. The closures have been tied to 50th anniversary of the uprising that led to the Dali Lama's--Tibet's spiritual leader--fleeing to India where he has been in exile ever since.

A journey to Tibet is not for the faint of heart--the altitude and the remote location can make the trip difficult. However, once there visitors will be rewarded with an experience not available anywhere else on Earth.
