Listed as a World Heritage Site since the year 1994, Potala Palace was the winter residence of the Dalai Lamas in the ancient days. The palace got its name from the popular Mt. Potalaka. The Chapel of the 5th and 13th Dalai, the Red Palace, the Thangka storehouse, and the Schools of Religious officials are some of the major attractions of Potala Palace. The dominating beauty of this Palace is something that you will reminisce about even after the completion of this short Lhasa tour.
Also named the Qoikang Monastery, the Jokhang Monastery is the spiritual heart of Tibet. The monastery is located a few meters east of the Potala Palace. The monastery became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the year 2001. It was added to the list as an extension of the Potala Palace.
Known as the oldest street in Lhasa, Barkhor Market is the most lively place in the entire Tibet. Leading the pilgrims to the Jokhang temple, the streets of Barkhor are admired by most of the pilgrims visiting this temple. Further, the charm of this market is that it forces visitors to ramble around its premises during their Tibet-Lhasa Tour.

Listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list as a part of the Historic Ensemble of the Potala Palace, Norbulingka Park is the major highlight of our Tibet Lhasa tour.

Before the construction of Potala Palace, the monastery was used as the residential home of Dalai Lamas. But today, the monastery is renowned for its standard education system.
