The shortest recommended Tibet
tour; this shows you the major landmarks and points of
interest in and around Lhasa. You take the spectacular
flight from Kathmandu over Mt. Everest & the
Himalaya to Lhasa. The next three days are spent
exploring the shrines and landmarks of the Holy City and
monasteries in the vicinity.
The 17th century Potala
dominates Lhasa and is now a museum housing priceless
treasures. You will find the Tibetan spirit alive and
well at the pilgrimage circuit of Barkhor around the
Jokhang, the holiest of Tibetan shrines. The quantity of
offerings at Norbu Lingka, the summer palace of the
Dalai Lamas, bears testimonial to the powerful belief of
the Tibetan people in their religious and spiritual
leader. You visit Sera and Drepung, two of the four
great monasteries of the Gelugpa (Yellow hat) sect of
Tibetan Buddhism, that flourished until recently; small
numbers of monks now live in them. This is a superb
introduction to the religious and cultural heritage of
Tibet
