DAY01 Arrival Lhasa

Arrival at Lhasa be met at Gongar airport and transferred to the hotel for some good rest and acclimation. For this most mystery and paradoxical land in China, you must hold more expectations than any other cities. After arrival at the airport, the terrain you could see as you approach your hotel is pretty special. Mountainous, but stark, any growth on these slopes has camouflaged colors of those grey or greens. Some distant peaks are snow capped and the odd turquoise lake is visible. Beautiful, but it looks to be such a hard land to live in. For the rest of day, please do not hurry to do any sightseeing at once. Instead of, you had better have a half-day rest to adjust yourselves to the altitude sickness for tomorrow's trip.

DAY02 Lhasa

For the in-depth insight of this land and people, the morning will be spent to visit the Tibet Museum and a Indian Tibetan family. In the afternoon, the Sera Monastery will be a good choice as well. It is the last of the three principal Yellow Sect monasteries built in Lhasa. It is destined to be one of the most enjoyable afternoons of the whole trip. The setting itself is very beautiful and there are many cobbled alleyways, temples and colleges on a hill. And have a visit of Norbulinka Park.

DAY03 Lhasa

The palace is a complex of political and religious function, which consists of the Red Palace, the White Palace and some attached buildings. Although you need to climb up, it will be richly rewarded for your efforts. Words may fail you to convey the scope of gold, pearls, carvings, gems, incense, monks, rooms, stairs that are in this incredible place. Then you will visit the Jokhang Temple in the afternoon. The three-level roof of the Jokhang offers splendid views of the Bhakhor Streets across to the Potala Palace . The golden roofs are superbly crafted with many birds, beasts, bells and other intricate figures. Later you will spend a whole afternoon exploring Barkhor Street.
