Trip Overview

Lhasa literally means” the Place of Deities” in the Tibetan language, the name itself today still equals to holiness, power and exoticism to most of travelers. And this 4 days Lhasa Holy Landmarks City Tour is made exactly to show you the best flavor of this exotic holy power into the Himalayas. Nothing to visit but rest and acclimatize best on your arrival day; on the second day, you will visit the soaring and solemn Potala Palace that still looks very awe-inspiring even with the absence of its host. The Johkang Temple with never-ended prostrating pilgrims and the bustling Barkhor Street with its surrounding beautiful whitewashed traditional dwellings makes this old Tibetan quarter the best walk in Lhasa; on the third day, we will have a chance to go into the yards, chapels and halls of the most important monasteries in Lhasa, to have a up-close experience to those “universities” in ancient times. At Drepung Monastery, to feel the vicissitudes of this historic monastery used to have more than 10 thousands monks living and studying here, yet today much less. At Sera Monastery, you can enjoy watching the script debating and learn their Buddhism philosophy from your guide.

Answered by Nancy

Hi Mr. Joseph Dacuma,

Greetings from Nancy Chung at Budget Tibet Tour, and thanks for visiting our website and sending your inquiry, as you will enter Tibet from Kathmandu, you MUST apply your China visa in Kathmandu, all your previous China visa will be cancelled there. And we will apply the China visa invitation letter from the Tibet Travel then you can go the embassy in Kathmandu to apply your visa there at the help of our business partner. Then you can fly to Lhasa from Kathmandu with the visa in your hand, and our guide will take the permit to wait you at Lhasa airport, without our guide there you cannot check out at airport. But we will arrange it well for you. I will send you th tour details to your email, please check it.
