4 Days Lhasa Tour In Saga Dawa Festival - 4 Days

After your arrival in Lhasa, a representative of Himalayan Trekkers will welcome you and transfer you to the hotel. You can explore around or take rest as you have a long flight.

Potala Palace was built by the 33rd great king of Tibet back in the 7th Century AD. This place is the winter home to the Dalai Lama since that time. You will find ancient burial stupas for the Dalai Lama in this place. You can also see the exclusive meditation cave that the 33rd king used in ancient times.

The morning will be spent at the Potala Palace and after a hearty lunch, we will go on to Jokhang Temple. This building was also founded by the 33rd king in the 7th century and houses a statue of Buddha Sakyamuni at 12 years of age. There are provisions to go on a holy circle (kora) around the temple with other pilgrims and locals that you can take part in. Plus, just have some quality time and drink some Tibetan tea alongside some scrumptious welcoming dinner.

After a goodnight’s sleep, the third day will see you visiting two of the “great three” Gelug monasteries in Tibet. The first one is the Drepung Monastery which has the biggest monastery kitchen. It was founded in 1416 by Jamyangchoge, a disciple of Tsongkhapa. You can also participate in one of the Buddhist sculpture carving workshops that is a regular attraction near to this monastery.

The other monastery that you will be visiting later on that day is the Sera Monastery. You will greatly enjoy the monk’s debate which is a daily spectacle in this monastery between 3:00 to 5:00 PM every day.

In the evening, you can stroll around Barkhor street for gifts and delicious local cuisine taste.

After three mesmerizing days in Lhasa, it is time for you to leave this beautiful mountainous city. You can move on to other parts of Tibet or back to Nepal.
