When most people think of Tibet, this is what first comes to mind. The Lhasa area is Tibet’s capital and, therefore, maintains the most iconic and holy sites of Tibet including the Potala Palace, Jokhang Monastery, the Barkhor Square, Tashilumpo Monastery, Drepung Monastery, and Sera Monastery.
Lhasa also functions as the major base camp for anyone making their way into the Himalayas to see Mount Everest or Mount Kailash. This is a place of epic history and breathtaking beauty set against the backdrop of the mighty Himalayas.
