As one tours Tibet, one of the most impressive impressions of Tibet would be its numerous Tibetan monasteries and temples. In fact, it’s estimated that there are approximately 1700 Tibetan monasteries and temples across Tibet and most of them are built on the lofty mountaintop or in surrounding mountains.
