Where to next?
Lhasa is the spiritual center of Tibet travel, shaped by the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, monastic life, and high-plateau light.
Lhasa rewards careful pacing and cultural respect. The Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor circuit, Sera Monastery, and Drepung Monastery introduce Tibetan Buddhist history in a setting of strong sunlight and high-altitude air. The city is usually the gateway for longer Tibet journeys to Yamdrok Lake, Shigatse, or Everest-region routes, and it needs more planning than lower-altitude Chinese cities.
