allow only 1000 tourists to visit this beautiful land every year.
Tibetan Antelope - the official
mascot of 2008 Olympic Games
Winter is really tough and much
longer. So you must have heavy winter
protection dresses and snow protection shoes to cover yourself. Snow capped mountains and snow stretched land
appear like a white meadow. The locals are mainly nomads who lives in tents made
of yak hair. Since every step is taken by the authorities to preserve the endangered
species, hunting is strictly protected. The very much endangered species Tibetan
Antelope is given maximum protection in this area. To create awareness of the vulnerable
situation of the species, this animal was selected as the official mascot of
2008 Olympic Games.
While visiting to these kinds of unknown
destinations and where tourists need to adhere to the strict policies of the
authorities, one must be careful in adapting the conditions of the tourist
locations. In such cases it is highly
recommended to get proper feed backs from the local travel agents and try to
have experienced tourist guides, who can help you in understanding the
situations and move quickly and finish the visiting location without ending up
in messy situations. It is also
suggested to find out or make sure to have English speaking guides to ease up
your trip.
