Travelling to Tibet can be a life changing experience irrespective of whether you take the Tibet Lhasa Tour or the Kathmandu to Lhasa tour. The country is well known for the religious fervor and serenity that is all-prevailing in the region. If you are the adventurous sort you can take the Tibet Trekking tour and even trek up to the Everest base camp in Tibet. There are many package tours available in the region, which includes all the tourist attractions of the region. There are some people who fall sick due to the altitude. Therefore it is a good idea to travel by train to Tibet, as then you will feel the rise in altitude gradually and your body will have time to get used to the climate and atmospheric changes.

If you like color and festivities then the Tibet festival tours are the best suited packages for you. Book your tours in advance to ensure you that you get the tour of your choice at affordable prices. Whichever tour package you prefer to take, there are a number of must-see locations in Tibet. Although you tour organizers will be experienced enough to include these locations in your itinerary it is good for you to be aware of the places you should not miss out on while in Tibet. Even if you take the Tibet trekking tour you can still find time to visit these awesome locations.

The first location on your Tibet Lhasa tours should be the summer palace of Dalai Lama, Norbulingka which is situated in the western side of Lhasa. This is on the banks of the river Kyichu and is nearly a kilometer away from the equally famous Potala Palace. Norbulingka means ‘treasure park’ and the palace has more than 374 rooms with the biggest man-made garden in Tibet. It will at least take your three hours to go through the entire palace. Your second stop should be the Tibet shopping area called the Barkhor Street. This is also included in most tours including the Kathmandu Lhasa overland tours. It the best place to learn all you wanted to know about the Tibetan economy, arts, religion, habits and culture. The street is very ancient and surrounds the Jokhang Temple which is a religious and trading center. The other places include the Jokhang temple, the sacred mountain Kailas, the Karub Ruin and much more. The Karub ruin is one of primeval cultural ruins in the region and has a history of more than 400 years.
