We strongly suggest that you do not drink alcohol on the day of arrival, a lot of water and fruit are recommended instead.

After having breakfast, you will start an incredible exploring the city of Lhasa. The great Potala Palace will be the first place to discover. After more than 1,300 years of historical change, this massive palace still dominates the skyline of the city of Lhasa. The palace is the political and religious center of Tibet and served as a place of government and preaching for the Dalai Lama. As you climb the sacred steps of the Red and White Palace, explore their wonderful interiors with exquisite Thangkas, numerous Buddha statues, living murals, and other works of Buddhist art.

In the afternoon, you will first visit Tibet's most sacred Buddhist temple, the Jokhang Temple, where the 12-year-old statue of Shakyamuni is inaugurated. With a 1300-year history, this temple combines the architectural styles of Tibet, China, Nepal, and India. As the spiritual center, the Jokhang Temple attracts hundreds of pilgrims who devote themselves to worship there every day. Behind the gate of the Jokhang Temple is the famous Barkhor Street pilgrimage circle, where you can join Tibetan believers in colorful outfits as you circle the circle around the Jokhang Temple.

With a height of 4,441 meters, it is known as one of the three most beautiful holy lakes in Tibet. The pure turquoise lake is located between snow-capped mountains. Around the shores of the lake are peaceful Tibetan villages in the flat valleys. If you look into the distance, you can still see yaks and spotted sheep grazing on the meadows.

It was the traditional seat of the Panchen Lamas, one of the two most powerful Buddhist leaders in Tibet. A 3,000-meter wall surrounds the Tashilhunpo Monastery. The entire monastery was built against the backdrop of a mountain with a view of the sun. There are 58 sutra chapels and around 3600 halls.

Essential Information

Acclimatization

At a higher altitude, you get less oxygen in the air. It takes your body a few days to get used to this less oxygenated environment. During this visit, you will spend the first four nights in Lhasa, which gives us plenty of time to acclimatize. Therefore, it is a good idea to exercise or jog regularly, preferably a few weeks before traveling at high altitudes. We recommend that guests consult their doctor before starting their trip, especially those who suffer from known heart, lung, or blood disorders.

Best travel time

Summer (June, July, and August) and autumn (September, October, and November) and Spring (April and May) are the best seasons for this trip in Lhasa. We can also enjoy this trip in the winter months, but it can get colder.

One Week Tibet Tour: Best Trip Ever

I was very impressed with Tibet. All people are charming, kind, and calm, perhaps because of the great impact of Buddhism. Our well-planned itinerary led us with the experienced tour guide, Nancy, to all the beautiful places through Lhasa, so that we got a good overview of the landscapes. Charming hotels with delicious buffets with the possibility to try everything mixed. We had the opportunity to travel in different ways and see temples, monasteries and old royal palace. We also explore some amazing historical sites. A very unforgettable and fun trip with nice people.
