Welcome to the roof of the world! You will be picked up by a local tour guide at Lhasa airport hall or train station, and then be escorted to check in at your hotel in Lhasa city (3,650 m) in a private vehicle. The rest of the day is free for you to explore the local areas and acclimatize yourself to the air, temperature, and high altitude of Lhasa.
Today you will visit popular attractions in Lhasa city and suburbs to explore Tibetan culture. You will first go to visit the beautiful Norbulingka which used to be the former summer palace of Dalai Lamas in ancient times and now is a public park. Dotted with various kinds of precious flowers and plants, it is the genuine “Plateau Oxygen Bar”. In addition to its magnificent buildings and colorful flowers, Norbulingka also features some big Tibet event activities during big festivals, such as Tibetan shows in the annual Shoton Festival.
Your tour of Tibet starts with a drive several kilometers to the western outskirts of Lhasa to visit Drepung Monastery. Drepung, in Tibetan, means “prosperity”. Since its establishment, Drepung Monastery has always been one of the most important Buddhist monasteries in Tibet. In its heyday, there were more than 10,000 monks who lived and studied in the monastery. Throughout its history, many important and famous Tibetan leaders used to study here, especially the Dalai Lamas. So Drepung Monastery is also respectfully known as the “Mother School of Dalai Lamas”. You can also enjoy a panoramic view of Lhasa from Drepung Monastery.
In the afternoon, you will be taken to another famous monastery in Lhasa – Sera Monastery. It is famous for the spectacular “Buddhism Debating”. As a daily routine, the monks gather in a courtyard and debate the Buddhist doctrines with supplemented gestures, which are thought to be helpful to facilitate better comprehension of the Buddhist philosophy to attain higher levels of study. After enjoying the “Buddhism Debating”, you will be transferred back to the city. The rest time is your own free time to rest
