Overview

The Golden Tour to Tibet begins with a scenic flight or train journey from mainland China to Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet. Upon arrival in Lhasa, travelers are greeted with awe-inspiring views of the majestic Potala Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and former residence of the Dalai Lamas. The tour continues with visits to other iconic landmarks in Lhasa, including the Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Street, and Sera Monastery, where travelers can witness monks engaged in lively debates.

Best Season

The best time to embark on the Golden Tour to Tibet is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) seasons. During these months, Tibet enjoys mild temperatures, clear skies, and relatively dry weather, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Travelers can avoid the harsh winter cold and heavy monsoon rains, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience.

Highlights

Jokhang Temple: Pay homage to the Jokhang Temple, one of the holiest sites in Tibetan Buddhism and a spiritual center of pilgrimage for devotees from around the world. Marvel at its ornate architecture, sacred statues, and bustling atmosphere of devotion and prayer.

Barkhor Street: Wander through the bustling lanes of Barkhor Street, a vibrant marketplace and cultural hub in the heart of Lhasa. Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and scents of Tibetan culture as you browse stalls selling traditional handicrafts, souvenirs, and local delicacies.

Sera Monastery: Witness the unique tradition of monk debates at Sera Monastery, where Buddhist scholars engage in rigorous intellectual exchanges to deepen their understanding of Buddhist philosophy. Listen to the rhythmic clapping of hands and sharp intonations as monks engage in lively debates on the monastery grounds.

Namtso Lake: Embark on an excursion to Namtso Lake, one of the highest saltwater lakes in the world and a sacred pilgrimage site for Tibetan Buddhists. Marvel at the pristine beauty of the lake, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and vast grasslands, and soak in the tranquility of the natural landscape.

Accommodation during the Golden Tour to Tibet varies depending on the itinerary and preferences of the travelers. In Lhasa, travelers can choose from a range of accommodations, including luxury hotels, boutique guesthouses, and budget-friendly hostels, offering comfortable amenities and convenient access to major attractions.
