Lhasa The Forbidden City Tour

Lhasa The Forbidden City Tour - 5 Days

Lhasa was declared capital to Tibet Autonomous region in 1965. The temples Gtsug-lag-Khang and Klu-Khang are the ancient landmarks which are considered sacred in Tibet. Norbulinka monastery - The winter residence of Dalai Lama, various monasteries, Potala palace - The summer palace are some important places in Tibet. The importance of the city declined during the ruling of Tibetan king who was very much religious. The 5th Dalai Lama has considered this city as holy and then it became religiously significant. Many important monasteries like Sera and Ganden are situated in the areas surrounding Lhasa, and Drepung monastery - The biggest monastic university during the period. This city is situated in the banks of Brahmaputra tributary called Yarlung Tsangpo. Before the Chinese occupied this region Lhasa was center to Lamaism. Most of the population in Lhasa was Lamaist monks. The buildings in Lhasa are not that rich in architecture but are religious constructions. The sacred temple in Lhasa called Jokang will not appear magnificent from outside but houses the jeweled idol of young Buddha. Due to all the above characteristic features of religious glory attributed to the Lhasa city,

After anexation of Tibet by Chinese communist in 1951 Lhasa was forbidden to visit for foreign tourist until the declaratiom of capital city in 1965 due to religious occupation and cultural revolution so it is called as - the Forbidden city.

I can define our Tibet Monastery Tour with Tibet Holidays with only three words: fantastic, happy and much kindness. All this due to Pema Tsering, Ngawang (our guide) and Chungda (our driver). They did our trip excellently arranged, funny, very interesting and gave us the chance to get authentic experience with Tibetan language, traditions and culture. Tibet is, for sure, the best place I have ever visited.

Pema and entire crew of Tibet Holidays are simply great.. I did Kanchenjunga Base Camp trek in 2014 and Upper Mustang Trek in 2016. The guide was very manageable and proffessional. We enjoyed both trip very much. See you soon Pema. Keep it up your great job!

Have just returned from my second tour with Tibet Holidays; last year's trip to Mt Kailash was very well arranged and managed, a comprehensive experience of Tibet, and this second trek into the Tsum Valley and Manaslu Circuit was equally well conducted, with many great experiences. Thanks Pema for all your kind and professional assistance.

Our group of six had an unforgettable, life changing experience on our trek through the high country of western Nepal and on into Tibet to Mount Kailash, western Tibet and Lhasa. Pema and his team of expert guides at Tibet Holidays navigated our way around every obstacle on both sides of the border, we would have been lost without them. Our wonderful cook and kitchen team provided excellent meals three times a day in the most remote and inhospitable locations. Wonderful trip, top quality and value, highly recommended.
