Explore the Local Monastery with Songtsam Linka Lhasa

Join a guided morning visit to a local monastery near Songtsam Linka Lhasa, in the village of Cijiaolin on the city's edge. With a Songtsam guide you'll step into the daily devotional life of the monastery, taking in the butter lamps, murals and chanting, learning the etiquette of a Tibetan place of worship and the meaning behind what you see. It is a quiet, early-morning counterpoint to Lhasa's grand landmarks and a gentle way to begin the day at altitude. Held every day 08:30-09:30; free of charge, with up to 8 people per session.
