Description

Tibet Lhasa Tour takes us to the most alluring destinations of Tibet. Tibet is the forbidden land famous for ancient religion, pristine culture and amazing arts. Tibet nestles at the average elevation of around 4000m in the almost never-ending Tibetan Plateau. Tibet Lhasa Tour Sightseeing thus is a combination of the ancient cultural experience . Along with the view of the magnificent arid landscapes and the giant Himalayan Peaks.

The palace you are referring to is likely the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet. Tibet Lhasa Tour is one of the most iconic landmarks in Tibet and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Potala Palace is a significant religious and cultural site, historically serving as the winter residence of the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism.

The palace contains around 1,000 rooms, which include living quarters for the Dalai Lama, as well as various chapels, murals, and tombs of previous Dalai Lamas. The Potala Palace is known for its stunning architecture, intricate artwork, and historical importance.

Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, is situated at an altitude ranging between 4,400 meters to 5,300 meters (14,400 to 17,400 feet) above sea level. The city is surrounded by peaks, and three main hills, Marpori, Chakpori, and Barmari, provide an impressive backdrop to the city.

The weather in Lhasa is quite unique due to its high elevation and location on the Tibetan Plateau. Between July and August, which is the peak summer season, the city experiences some rainfall. However, despite this, Lhasa is known for having over 300 days of sunshine throughout the year, making it a generally dry and sunny destination.

It's worth noting that my knowledge has a cutoff date of September 2021, so for the most current information, you may want to verify with up-to-date sources.
