Tibet Travel Maps
Recommended! Tibet Geographic Map. 1:2,000,000. Gizimap, Budapest. Part of a series of maps that cover all of China - see also our China page for other maps in this series. Available in two styles - road map and geographic (physical). The geographic version of the map provides excellent representation of physical detail with colour shading and peaks, roads and tourist information such as the location of monasteries, forts and national parks. Names on the map are in English, Chinese and Tibetan. Key to symbols includes German, French, Russian and Hungarian. A full placename index is given on the reverse of the sheet. The road map edition is the same map without the elevation tinting and shading, which makes it easier to read as a road map, but lacks the elevation detail so important in such a mountainous country. Also available flat for framing.

Waterproof Tibet Travel Map. 1:1,680,000. ITMB, 2nd ed., 2012. Tibet is fascinating and controversial. It has been occupied by China since Chairman Mao send hordes of Chinese troops into the country and annexed it to China, expanding its borders somewhat by over-running parts of northern India a bit later. At the moment, the Chinese authorities seem to be clamping down on tourism, due to simmering unrest. However, the country, or self-governing province of China is a beautiful place. Printed on ITM plastic for durability.
