Overview

What Makes this Tibet Trip Different?

The 4-day tour is extremely tight for tourists to make an in-depth trip around Tibet, but enough to explore the essence of the “Sunshine City” - Lhasa with the top five tourist attractions included.

Tibetan Travel Guru,Master Kungga Dundruk

This short Lhasa city tour takes you to visit the iconic landmarks of the Holy City in 4 days at your own pace.

Accompanied by our Tibetan local tour guide, you'll visit the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery – Drepung Monastery and observe the Tibetan monks debating at Sera Monastery.

Then, you will travel to the masterpiece of Tibetan architecture – Potala Palace, the ultimate pilgrimage destination – Jokhang Temple, and the bustling circular route – Barkhor Street.

It is the ideal tour package for first-time visitors to Tibet with a tight schedule. You'll not only explore the essence of Lhasa, but also get a first impression of the daily life of local Tibetans and Tibetan monks.

As you walk through the Coqen Hall, your guide will provide detailed explanations of the worldview of Tibetan Buddhism and introduce notable figures in Tibetan Buddhist history.

Next, you’ll visit the renowned Loseling College (or an equivalent), offering a glimpse into the study and life of Tibetan monks. Explore their dormitories to gain insights into the Tibetan monks' daily routines and living conditions.

In the afternoon, you’ll head to Sera Monastery, another of the ‘great three’ Gelug monasteries of Tibet, to witness the famous Tibetan Monks Debate (15:00 - 17:00, from Monday to Saturday).

Outside, you can see pilgrims making prostrating in front of Jokhang Temple. Around the temple is Barkhor Street, where you can do kora (a religious circle of a building or mountain) with pilgrims and locals, and explore the old market.

Next, follow your guide to one of the liveliest indoor Tibetan tea houses in Lhasa. Sip traditional Tibetan sweet tea alongside local Tibetans as your guide shares insights into Tibetan social dynamics and daily life.
