Lhasa
With a relaxed pace to allow for the effects of altitude, explore this fantastic
city on the roof of the world. The spiritual heart of Tibet is the Jokhang
Temple and every morning is full of life as pilgrims bring offerings of butter
and barley flour. The Potala Palace rises above the city and, more than any
other sight, symbolizes the history and culture of Tibet. Nearby are the huge
monastic universities of Drepung and Sera – still active institutions. |
A brief, but unforgettable glimpse of the city on the roof of the world.
