Cultural Tour in Central Tibet
Cultural Tour takes you to a land of rich culture and religion. Life of a Tibetan pivots around his religion. Tibetans used to follow the ancient Bon Po religion before Buddhist studies and preaching crept swiftly into the Tibetan community, giving birth to a new sect of Buddhism – Tibetan Buddhism. A religion that almost all Tibetans follow today with many sects within itself, Tibetan Buddhism is the blend of ancient Bon Po believes, Indian Buddhist Texts and the preaching of various Lamas.
At the historic valley of Lhasa, ancient monasteries full of rich Tibetan architecture, historic fortresses, the serene turquoise lakes and the charming Tibetan people warmly welcome you. The 'Lost Horizon' in literature and the 'Forbidden City' for the past several centuries is still a city of several wonders. The must-visit places in Lhasa are the great Potala palace, the sacred Jokhang Temple, Ganden Monastery, Tibetan Medical Centre and so on; the list goes on as far as time permits you.
