However Potala Palace is the most well known known icon of Tibet. The massive complex is a small world within itself and is generally renowned as residence of the Dalai Lamas (Avalokiteshvara). It was first built by the 33rd ruler of his dynasty, King Songtsen Gangpo, in 7th century, but continual restoration efforts keep it looking majestic. Jokhang temple is the most scared shrine in Tibet, located in the heart of Lhasa old town. It is the most popular pilgrimage destination of all Tibetans. Barkhor Street is a popular Kora (religious walking circuit) which surrounds Jokhang Temple, and mingling with pilgrims around the Barkhor Street is a truly authentic experience. It is also a main shopping district where you can buy gifts for your family or friends. Lhasa Old Town gives a glimpse into the daily life of Lhasa Tibetans.

Morining visit to Ganden Monastery is the largest of the six primary monasteries of Buddhism’s Gelugpa sect. In addition to its magnificent architecture and religious importance, there is an extremely fabulous view on top of the Ganden Wangpo Hill. Kichu Valley is behind Ganden monastery, and we recommend a hike around the monastery for a bird’s-eye view of the valley. After lunch, visit to Sera monastery’s famous monks’ debate between 3 pm to 5pm (not available on Sunday), an exhibition certainly worth seeing. The group will be driven here to see the debating after lunch at a special restaurant at Ganden.
