Lhasa Central Tibet Tour

Overview

Our Lhasa Central Tibet Tour is the most comprehensive tour to see all the power places of Tibet. It is the political, economic, and cultural center of Tibet and one of the highest cities in the world with an elevation of about 3600 m above sea level. It lies in the center of the Tibetan plateau with surrounding mountains rising to 5800m and the Lhasa River is flowing on the south side. So, it makes an area of ultimate scenic beauty. This tour covers all three world heritage sites The Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and Barkhor Street. Along with the famous monasteries of Sera and Drepung, Lhasa is a must-see for anyone interested in Tibet!

Lhasa is a city that has a history of more than 1,300 years. Tibetan Buddhism had a strong influence in the 11th century AD among the peoples of Central Asia, in Mongolia and Manchuria. It was adopted as an official state religion by the Mongol Yuan Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty that ruled China. Our well-planned itinerary will allow you to spend 3 full days exploring every part of the city. You can visit the Dalai lama’s summer palace and stroll in the old alleys of Barkhor Street where you can enjoy sweet tea and chat with locals or bargain with the street vendors to understand the real life in Lhasa. Besides, never miss the chance to explore the dramatic Monk’s debate on the Buddhist doctrines in the Sera monastery. The most beautiful and therapeutic place in the world is the place of beauty and thus making it.

In Lhasa visit the famous Potala Palace and Norbulinkha summer palace, the great monastery of Drepung, the Jokhang Temple, and walk through the bustling Barkor Bazaar. Choices of hotels are available in Lhasa and the best hotels are in other places. If you are busy enough to spend a day in Lhasa then you should visit the great Potala palace and Jokhang temple. These two historical sites are the symbol of Lhasa and Tibet. Being a high-altitude plateau area, accessibility in Tibet is very hard and to reach certain remote areas you have to travel on certain un-mettled stretches. That’s why while traveling in these remote areas a Jeep type of vehicle is best suited. These jeep safari tours give a golden opportunity for travelers to visit the monasteries and lakes situated in the high reaches of the Tibetan Himalayas. Lhasa is home to Tibet’s most famous and holiest temples and generally from May to October is the best time to travel here, when the weather is mild. This is naturally the busiest travel time in Tibet.
