Lhasa is one of the world’s highest cities at 3650m and is rife with friendly locals, religious structures and old-world streets.
On arrival, transfer to your accommodation situated in the bustling Tibetan Quarter. Take time to rest and acclimatise this afternoon at the city’s high altitude.
Explore the holy Jokhang Temple, the region’s most significant. Pilgrims flock from all over Tibet to worship here and to walk to the Barkhor Circuit that circumambulates the temple. Spend time here watching the pilgrims, joining in their path or just sit down and soak up the atmosphere. End the day with Sera Monastery where monks passionately debate the Buddhist scriptures in a central courtyard.
