But thanks to the sheer scale of this remote region, there are still many wild places that have so far remained largely intact. |
|
The least explored area of all is found in Tibet' s far south east. Here the Yarlung River, Tibet' s longest, has carved through the Himalayas, allowing monsoon clouds from India to pass through. |
|
This is Tibet' s most secret corner. |
|
According to legend, he Yarlung gorge was rendered magically invisible in the eighth century and could only be seen by those who have attained sufficient spiritual knowledge and wisdom. At two days' walk from the nearest road, this hidden region wasn' t explored by outsiders until the 1990s. Thanks to the annual monsoon, the whole landscape is covered in lush forest. |
|
The scale of the gorge is breathtaking. |
|
As the Yarlung River cuts through the mountains, it' s created the world' s deepest gorge, three times deeper than America' s Grand Canyon. |
|
This vast and mysterious place provides a vital clue to Tibet' s importance for the rest of the world. |
