As considering an isolated region on top of the world for many centuries Tibet has been fumigated it’s own culture, costume and language, not mixed with neighbours since three thousand years ago. According to its’ historical records, the land of snow is an ancient kingdom. Surrounded by world’s highest mountains of Himalayan and Kunlun mountain ranges with the highest peaks in the world. Which is a realm existed at the centre of the world with pure at elements and at mind.
Principally, Lhasa has been prospered since seventh century where there habituate merely a small portion of Tibetans before the era. The city is located in the U region division of U-Tsang (two geographical names of Tibet). Which is exclusion of Shigatse to the border areas of Nepal, Pakistan, and Bhutan etc. Lhasa’s elevation of three thousand, six hundred and fifty is an average altitude to compute that of the all-Tibetan plateau as a whole. Most travellers stay three to five days in the holy city only for its attractions influenced deeply by Tibetan culture and Buddhism, which are fairly their appetite of travel mood. For planning a trip to Lhasa and beyond, the few important sights (best attractions in Lhasa) that tourists must not be missed out are; Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Three largest Gelugpa Institutions such as Sera, Drepung and Ganden Monasteries. Drak Yerpa meditation caves is another travel attraction beyond Lhasa. There are still many small temples and sights if interesting allow your travel mood; Ramoche temple, Ani Tsamkung and Shugseb Nunnery etc. In the evening times, to visit and watch a Tibetan Arts Performing Centre is another cool way to absorb Tibetan world in Lhasa. Where almost a full performances on traditions and moderns of Tibetan dances and songs including opera.
There are more than hundreds of travel agencies run by outsiders and local Tibetans based in Lhasa. For my experience and my suggestion, a traveler should contact a local Tibetan owned travel agency in order to internalise and grasp authentic Tibetan culture, livelihood and costume etc. Because they can offer you more than others, which means that a bona-fide Tibetan travel agency is heartedly enthusiastic about showing Tibet to you, and is more than others doing the same travel business in the Tibetan world.
