Next, visit Jokhang Temple, Tibet's most sacred pilgrimage site, where the 12-year-old Shakyamuni Buddha statue is enshrined. Then, take a walk along Barkhor Street, a vibrant market where Tibetan pilgrims perform kora (ritual circumambulation), spinning prayer wheels as they walk.

Set out from Lhasa in the morning and journey along the Yarlung Tsangpo River Valley, where you'll be treated to a breathtaking bird's-eye view of the vast landscape below. As you ascend toward Kamba La Pass, the scenery unfolds like a scroll, revealing rugged mountains that embrace the winding river. At the summit, a panoramic view of Yamdrok Lake awaits—one of Tibet's three great sacred lakes. Its crystal-clear, turquoise waters nestle beneath snow-capped peaks in a scene of dramatic beauty. More than just a scenic wonder, the lake is a deeply revered site in Tibetan Buddhism.
Your journey then continues to Xiazhulin Temple. Unlike other ancient temples often crowded with visitors, this monastery exudes a unique sense of pure tranquility. It is most famous for enshrining the sacred body of the Auspicious Goddess--a treasure unmatched anywhere in the world. Its very presence transcends scientific explanation and inspires a profound sense of spiritual awe.

Asked by Liliana Me** from Macau
plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April
Hi! I would like to plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April (3rd to 10th ideally) to Nepal, Tibet, and, if possible, Bhutan. Do you think it would be doable? Based on what I read, there are some places/things to do to consider: Nepal: Everest Base Camp trek and the Annapurna Circuit, ancient temples, sacred sites like Lumbini, Kathmandu, Tibet: The Potala Palace in Lhasa and the Jokhang Temple. eventually the holy Mount Kailash or the high-altitude plains. Bhutan: Thimphu, Paro, and the famous Tiger’s Nest Monastery. To take part in cultural traditions, yoga, meditation... Of course I am open to any recommendations you could make. For your reference, we are both based in Asia: him, in Bangkok and myself in Macau. Thank you so much for the information you could provide and, if possible, an estimated budget for your offer.
