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.

Ms. Al*** from: 4 Days Lhasa Holy Landmarks Express

How much walking is involved? My husband has a 'dicky' knee and sometimes it plays up.

Answered by Nancy

Dear Ms. Al***,

Greetings from Nancy at Budget Tibet Tour, and I am glad to get your inquiry here. For the 4days Lhasa city tour, there will be 1080 stairs for Potala Palace to climb, and also some walking around Drepung Monastery, other places such as Sera Monastery and Jokhang Temple will involve less walking, and our driver will drive people to every entrance place. Let me know if your husband will use wheelchair to make him better. I will send you the tour details to your email and also we will arrange you the train tickets from Lhasa to Xining as you planned. Best regards.
