eagles are considered to be holy birds by Tibetans

Eagles in Tibet are considered to be holy birds by Tibetans and they respect eagles. When you travel in tibet, you should pay attention not to hurt any eagles. I don’t know why eagles are treated as holy birds, but I do know that eagles are related to the celestial burial. During a celestial burial, the body of the dead shall be eaten by eagles and the Tibetans believe that in this way, the soul of the dead can go up to heaven together with the eagle eating it. Maybe this is just the right reason of why Tibetans consider eagles as holy birds. If you are pretty interested in Tibet, you can arrange some Tibet tours and some tibet travel advice or tibet travel guide shall guide you how to travel in tibet.
