Tibet: where the land is so close to the heavens, the valleys are higher than the tallest peaks near everywhere else. The sheer immensity of the Himalayas is enough to make your draw deep breaths long before you leave your plane’s pressurised cabin; here is massive geography on such an exulted scale you’ll never wonder why Tibet exudes such a strong spiritual pull, for Buddhists and fellow enlightenment seekers everywhere. Get a window seat on your flight into Lhasa and you’ll see there’s no diminishing the Buddhist capital’s iconic status, or the spiritual magic from which writers and filmmakers draw to construct a Tibetan myth worthy of such grand reality.
