Why this yatra matters
Welcome to Lhasa, the sacred capital of Tibet, where every prayer flag and butter lamp tells a story of devotion. This 4-day tour is designed as a gentle, spiritual introduction to the high-altitude plateau, allowing you to acclimatise while immersing yourself in the city’s profound religious heritage. At 3,650 metres, Lhasa holds immense significance for Hindus and Buddhists alike, as the earthly home of the Jowo Shakyamuni statue at Jokhang Temple—a representation of the Buddha at age twelve, believed to have been blessed by the Buddha himself. You will walk the Barkhor Kora, a circumambulation path that mirrors the cosmic journey around Mount Kailash, and stand in awe before the Potala Palace, the winter residence of the Dalai Lamas and a symbol of Tibetan Buddhism’s enduring presence. This tour respects the sacredness of each site, offering time for quiet reflection and connection with the living traditions of prayer, pilgrimage, and compassion. It is the perfect prelude to a deeper Himalayan yatra, where the spirit of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar awaits.
