 Norbulinka by sachara
In the garden you have a great view at the colourful architecture of the palaces. In one of the courtyards you can also find the remnants of an old dodge and two austins. These first cars in Tibet were brought there in pieces by yaks over the Himalayas. Leave a Comment Address: LhasaDirections: Four KM west of the Potala

 Norbulinka, summer palace by sachara
You can visit the rooms of the Dalai Lama, for example the bed- bath- and living room, in which you can see the old Philips radio of the Dalai Lama. Further we visited the meditation room, the reception room and the throne room. Leave a Comment Address: LhasaDirections: Four KM west of the Potala.

 Potala Palace by sachara
The Potala consists of the Red Palace (in the middle) and the White Palace at both sides. The buildings are chiefly made of stone and wood. Golden roof tops shine under the sun in big splendor. It is a piece of great architecture, special arts and crafts, sculpture and painting of the Tibetan people. Leave a Comment Address: LhasaDirections: You can't miss it

 Potala, part of the white
palace by sachara
To visit the Potala Palace you have to climb a lot. During my visit in 1991 some parts of the Palace were closed because of restoration, but there more than enough left to see, to experience and to feel the atmosphere. It was rather overwhelming ......the meditationhalls, the chapels, the shrines, the mausoleums, the statues, the wall paintings and the special smell. To absorb all in one visit is impossible.

 Drepung Monastery by sachara
I had allready plans to visit Tibet for so many years, but I never expected or could imagine, that I would attend such an impressive and overwhelming ceremony.
For more pics and information about the ceremony: see my travelogue. Leave a Comment Directions: 6 Km west of Lhasa

 Drepung Monastery by sachara
When we visited the monastery, everything was looking very clear and clean with fresh colours. They told it was because of the start of a festival the next day. What a pity, we thought, because we had to fly to Kathmandu and back home the next day.
But we were lucky, some ceremonies started at the moment of our visit..... Leave a Comment Directions: 6 Km west of Lhasa

 Sera Monastery by sachara
The religious Tibetan music is essential to rites. When you hear it for the first time, it may sounds disconcerting or even cacaphonous. The point is that this music has not to be in tune with this world, but has to break away. This is music to unmake harmonies and to lose the self in its illusions. This religious music is purgation by sound as the mandala is purgation by sight. Leave a Comment Directions: 4 KM north of Lhasa

 At the medicinal cave by sachara
At many places in Tibet near temples and chortens you can find wooden prayerwheels or manichorkors of smaller or very huge size, containing prayers and holy formulas, which the Tibetans turn endlessly. By spinning the wheels they can release several million prayers or mantras to the heavens.
At the medicinal cave we saw also these Tibetans, burning their herbs, juniper and other offerings for purification in a special burner. Leave a Comment Address: LhasaDirections: Less than 1 KM south-west of the Potala.

 Drepung Monastery by sachara
In the meantime we looked around and watched the preparations. We were shocked by the respectless behaviour of some Chinese soldiers. From this big courtyard we had also, a splendid view at the valley of Lhasa ! Leave a Comment Directions: Six KM west of Lhasa
