When the word Tibet is mentioned
something icy chils the readers' nerves. In fact it
snows only once or twice in a year and owing to the
perpetuity of bright sunshine, it is not at all cold
during the daytime even in the coldest of the
winter. Tibet is so sunny that it produces a
year-round sunshine of over 3,000 hours in a year.
Its old name-"land of snow"--the name by which Tibet
is almost popularly known as, is always thickly
covered with snow with hardly any signs Of
inhabitation. In fact, it is correct only when it is
referred to the world greatest ranges located in Ima,
the Tisi, and like. These ranges, run by leaps and
bounds across the country showing their beautiful
snow covered peaks against the bluest of skies. |
