Lhasa Explore - 7 Days https://www.tourradar.com/t/171818 Itinerary Introduction Lhasa, the remote abode of the Dalai Lamas, object of devout pilgrimage and heart and soul of Tibet, is still a city of wonders, despite the large-scale encroachments of modern Chinese influence. First hint that Lhasa is close is the Potala, a vast white-and-ochre fortress soaring over one of the world’s highest cities. It’s a sight that has heralded the marvels of the Holy City to travellers for close to four centuries and it still raises goose bumps. It is hard to imagine a thriving city at such an altitude, functioning as the religious, cultural and economic hub of Tibet. While the Potala dominates the skyline, the Jokhang, some 2km to the east, is the real spiritual heart of the city. An otherworldly mix of flickering butter lamps, wafting incense and prostrating pilgrims, the Jokhang is the most sacred and alive of Tibet’s temples. It is here and the encircling Barkhor pilgrim circuit that most visitors first fall in love with Tibet. The old Tibetan quarter makes up a small area of Lhasa these days. The modern city is a Chinese boom town, where a new train line has fuelled massive growth in tourism changing the face of Lhasa daily. For all its modernisation Lhasa remains a fantastic cultural hybrid, its streets bustling with a diverse mix of people. As the gateway to the ‘real’ Tibet, out in the countryside, Lhasa deserves at least a week to see all the sights, soak up the backstreets and organise the adventures that beckon at the city limits.

From Kathmandu International Airport we have 1 hour 10 minutes, Trans Himalayan Flight to
Gonggar airport, considered one of the most beautiful flights in the world that takes us over

altitude of 3650 meters. It’s advisable to rest and take it easy for the remainder of the day due to
Lhasa’s altitude. Meals: Breakfast
Day 3 Sightseeing in LHASA
Foremost, our tour begins with a visit to SERA MONASTERY. An experienced tour guide also
working as an interpreter escorts us to this preserved monastery of white-washed walls and
golden roofs. Equally adventurous and exciting tempo builds up while touring NORBULINGKA, the
summer palace of the Dalai Lama. JOKHANG TEMPLE is another important sacred site which
unravels more deep seated mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism. Visit to BARKHOR MARKETS can be
quite a change from other visits as we roam around the city savoring every tiny detail from stall
hawkers coaxing their clients to purchase their goods to exhibition of Tibetan culture, custom and
tradition. Eventually, the tour for the day concludes as we return to the comforts of our hotel. Meals:
