Lhasa
Lhasa is quite an old city
with about 1,400 years of history. During 1951, there were less than 30,000
inhabitants who used to live here. It has always continued to be
the axis of national, political and economic importance of Tibet. In total, Lhasa
is the heart and soul of Tibet, the domicile of the Dalai Lamas and an entity
of sincere pilgrimage. The most fascinating places to visit in Lhasa are: The
Potala Palace, Jokhang temple, Norbulinka palace, Sera and Drepung monasteries
etc.
Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar
These two places are the farthest
and yet famous places to travel in Tibet. The approximate height of Mount
Kailash is 6,714m with its four complete fortifications and snow-capped peak.
It is really an inspiring site to visit especially for Hindus as it is the holy
place and divine abode of Lord Shiva. In fact, this place also holds
geographical significance as four major tributaries flow from here including the
Indus, the Karnali, the Sutlej and the Brahmaputra. These rivers drain the huge
Plateau of Tibet meet with the Ganges in India. Kailash
is also a prominent holy destination for the Buddhists.
Lake Manasarovar is located
roughly 30km from Mt. Kailash and is one of the greatest freshwater lakes in
the whole world. This gorgeous and sacred lake is the main pilgrimage spot for Hindus
as well as Buddhists. It is believed that by taking a bath in this sanctified
lake we can wash away all our sins. This is the greatest beauty on earth. While
visiting this lake you can also take a close look to the Chiu Monastery,
located on the northwest shore Manasarovar.
Gyantse
Gyantse is located 254 km
south-west of Lhasa. It is among the least Chinese influenced towns in Tibet.
Here, we’ll get to visit the Gyantse Dzong and Gyantse Kumbum. The Dzong is a
fort built in the 14th century. In 1904, Tibetans courageously battled against
the British attack by Colonel Younghusband at the loftiness of British colonial
objectives in Asia. The Kumbum is a large gold-domed stupa in Mandala-shape. Its
several small chapels house is a remarkable display of Tibetan Buddhist frescos.
