Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Street Citywalk from Songtsam Linka Lhasa

Step into the spiritual and political heart of Tibet on a guided walk through old Lhasa, arranged by Songtsam Linka Lhasa, whose Tibetan-style buildings sit within the city's historic quarter. Visit the Potala Palace, the towering winter palace of the Dalai Lamas; the 7th-century Jokhang Temple, the most sacred shrine in Tibet, where pilgrims prostrate at its doors; and the pilgrimage circuit of Barkhor Street that loops around it, alive with prayer-wheel-turning devotees, incense and market stalls. For centuries people have come from every direction to live, study, worship and trade here. Details and booking at the lodge front desk.
