Fly across the stunning mountain range to spectacular Lhasa – the heart and soul of Tibet, and one of the most beautiful places on earth – take a few days are needed to acclimatise to the high altitude before you start to explore. Truly inspiring, Lhasa offers travellers a spiritual, natural and very human experience. By simply walking the side streets of the city you will feel as though you have travelled through time and entered a medieval carnival; the people, sights and sounds are otherworldly. Above all else, Lhasa is a deeply religious city, and at its spiritual heart is the ancient Jokhang Temple, founded 1,400 years ago.
