Highlights of Lhasa Cultural tour
- An exciting journey from Nepal to Lhasa
- Experience the great Buddhist pilgrimage
- Visit great monastic Universities
Each year many tourists visit Lhasa as a pilgrimage journey. The major attractions of Lhasa are Jowo Sakyamuni holy statue of Jokhang monastery, the great monastic university like Depong, Sera, and Ganden. The crowning Potala Palace is always the alluring beauty of Lhasa city. Similarly, the Norbulingka Jewel Park, Ramoche temple, Lukhang, Ani Serkung, Larang Nyingpa, and Miru Nyingpa are the other Jewels of Lhasa city.
Despite the modernization of Tibet, the Chinese government still preserves the Lhasa as a city of wonders. The soaring Potala Palace, above the holy city of Lhasa, still preserves the flavor of traditional Tibetan life. It is here in the Jokhang, an otherworldly mix of flickering butter lamps, wafting incense and prostrating pilgrims, and the encircling Barkhor pilgrim circuit that most visitors first fall in love with Tibet. Lhasa Cultural Tour is one of the short and best programs to see Tibet and to know Tibet.
