Kathmandu Lhasa Tour

Known in the Himalayas as the city of gold, Lhasa was the forbidden kingdom until less than a century ago. Being relatively fertile and moderate in climate and altitude, the land has been seat of some of the influential leaders since millennium and half ago. The city at present exhibits the Tibetan heritage developed as the center of Tibetan Buddhism in last 500 years.
4 day Lhasa tour covers the highlights even though there are lot more to see. The Potala palace with 1,000 rooms crowning the city, preserves the authentic Tibetan art and architecture. Exploration of the Jokhang temple and the Barkhor area take you back into the time.
You can just join 4 day Lhasa tour but the 7 day Kathmandu Lhasa tour is recommended for better acclimatization and understanding of the Himalayan history and culture as Kathmandu and Lhasa were developed parallelly as the crucial transit points along the trans-Himalayan trade route.
