Overland extension trip is based on seat in a coach basis. The visits to Potala Palace, Norbulingkha, Drepung Monastery, Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Market would be an awesome experience. Potala Palace is the cardinal landmark and a structure of massive proportion. Norbulingkha is the summer palace of His Holiness Dalai Lama. Drepung is one of the world’s largest and most intact monasteries. Jokhang temple is the spiritual heart of Tibet and Barkhor Market is the place to get the necessary stuffs for the locals as well as the souvenirs for the tourists. A visit to Pelkor Chode Monastery and Kumbum Stupa in Gyantse, Tashilunpo Monastery in Shigatse and Zhangmu, will leave you with memories of Tibet, that will linger long after the journey is over. Tashilunpo Monastery is an impressive place to explore. Whereas, Zhangmu is a typical border town. |
