Tibet Autonomous Region is located in the southwest of China, with a land area of 1.22 million square kilometers and a population of 2.3 million, of which 95% are Tibetan. There are also 30 other minorities in Tibet, such as Han, Menba, Luoba, Hui, Mongol, and Naxi.

Tibet is entirely within and encompasses most of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau or the Plateau of Tibet, with an average altitude of over 4,500 meters above the sea level. It is known as The Roof Of The World and The Third Pole of the Globe. The world’s highest mountain range, the Himalayas, straddles the border between Tibet and Nepal, as does Mount Everest, the world’s tallest mountain at 8,848 meters above sea level. The Himalayas, along with the Karakorums, contain most of the world’s tallest 100 mountains. Everything on earth above 7,000 meters is to be found on and around the Plateau of Tibet.
