Lhasa, capital of Tibetan Autonmous Region (TAR)

Today we visit the most famous and mystic building in Tibet: the Potala Palace, winter residence of the Dalai Lama. This fabulous palace harbors countless treasures such as stupas containing relics of the Buddha and three-dimensional mandalas bejeweled with ancient turquoise, coral and other precious objects. We will also visit Barkhor - a kind of Tibetan bazaar along the pilgrims’ path leading to Jokhang Temple, which constitutes one of the most important sanctuaries in Tibet, especially because of its magnificent Buddha statue “Jo”. In the afternoon we will attend the disputation held by the monks at Sera Monastery. The rest of the day is at your own disposal.
