Tibet-Lhasa Tour (fly in /fly out )

Tibet Lhasa Tour is an easy and enlightening journey into the core of Tibet, enabling travelers to absorb the essence of the place, culturally and spiritually. This fly-in/fly-out tour design allows participants to see the wonders of Tibet without going through the hassles of overland travel.

 

The voyaging initiation is made via flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa's Gonggar Airport for 7 or 8 days of voyaging, with this dreamlike sight of the Himalayas while one soars above the snow-capped peaks-a precursor to the adventure ahead.

In Lhasa, upon arrival, travelers are met and assisted by experienced guides into making the transition to this high-altitude city. Lhasa has been called the spiritual and cultural center of Tibet, and there are a number of significant things to see on the tour, for at least Buddhists.

 

The first major sight is the Potala Palace, one of nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country. This structure is hugely placed above the city and hence visible, while the Dalai Lama uses it as a winter residence representative of Tibetan Buddhism and culture. Great architecture that displays mural paintings tracing back the Tibet Royal and Spiritual past.

Apart from that, one of the most holy places of Tibetan Buddhism-the Jokhang Temple-is another place that people must visit upon arrival in Lhasa. Thousands of pilgrims, flowing from the very ends of Tibet, come to show homage to the sacred statue of the young Buddha. Inside this holy temple, the interior designs and several colorful prayer flags create a mystic atmosphere, arousing very deep spiritual feelings among visitors.

Other major stops will be the Barkhor Market in Lhasa, a lively marketplace that circles around the Jokhang Temple where locals and pilgrims come to shop for traditional Tibetan handicrafts, religious trinkets, and objects used in daily life.This is a very good place to soak in the local culture, see street performers, and get into the hustle and bustle of Tibetan commerce.

Other highlights of the Lhasa tour include the Drepung Monastery and Sera Monastery. Both are very important centers of Tibetan Buddhism, and Sera is famous for its "monk debates." It is possible to observe the monks discussing various issues related to Buddhist teachings in a very animated manner, which is an interesting and instructive experience.

 

In both monasteries, one can see how the monks lead their daily lives and how deeply traditional spiritual life has been developed over centuries in Tibet.Besides the sights within Lhasa, the tour may be extended to cover nearby places like Gyantse and Shigatse, two towns with cultural and religious importance.

 

In Shigatse, there is the famous Tashilhunpo Monastery considered to be the seat of the Panchen Lama and one of the very important sites, which provides insight into Tibetan Buddhist teachings and history.

The Tibet Lhasa Tour will give the amplitude to the traveler to feel the rich cultural heritage along with breathtaking landscapes that it has in store.

 

Indeed, this would be a rather culturally bound trip to iconic landmarks starting with the Potala Palace, the sacred temples like Jokhang, and spiritual practices of monasteries-quintessentially unique cultural features of Tibet.

 

The trek ends with the visit to Lhasa and its surroundings, from where the participants will fly over to Kathmandu, thus leaving a lot of time with the traveler to contemplate the greatness of the journey that was undertaken by them. Designed for people who are in pursuit of an accessible yet enriching adventure in Tibet combined with ease regarding modern travel, this tour has everything.
