Overview:
A very brief but enthralling visit to the capital of Tibet and the opportunity to see the major sights of Lhasa!

Introduction:
Lhasa is the cultural, spiritual and historic capital of Tibet dominated by the massive Potala Palace, once the Dalai Lama’s seat of government. Within the old city the Jokhang temple lies at the centre of the Barkor market and is the spiritual heart of Tibet. Also worth a visit is the Norbulingka, the Dalai Lama’s summer palace, and Chakpori (Iron Hill) which was the Tibetan Medical College. All of these fantastic sights are linked by a pilgrims trail called the Lingkor, roughly a 30 minute walk (not including stoppages) which is a great way to meet the locals! Nearby are the beautiful monasteries of Sera and Drepung which are both worth visiting. As time is limited we will also try to get to the Tibet National Museum and sample some uniquely Tibetan nightlife! Ideal for those with little time available, or just to visit a specific festival this trip will leave you planning your next trip.
