We spent 5 days and 4 nights in Lhasa, Tibet

POV of our travel itinerary to Lhasa, Tibet, China, including our journey to and back from the journey. The time spent in Tibet felt a little short due to us spending most of the time in the train, which took 22 hours. The train departs from Xining and is a good way to acclimatise to the higher altitude to prevent altitude sickness. We spent in total 2.5 days in Lhasa, where we visited the iconic places such as Potala Palace, Barkhor Street, Jokhang Temple, Drepung and Sera Monasteries. Our hotel was the St Regis, and our travel agency was Tibet Vista. It was quite the experience to be able to visit Lhasa, which is probably one of the most spiritual places on earth. Highly recommended. Our trip was in September 2026.
