 Here are some of the top scenic spots:

The great Potala Palace, a magnificent red and white structure, with 9 stories and a thousand rooms, was built by the King Songtsen Gampo for his bride from the Tang Dynasty. Now, you can explore its many invaluable treasures and artworks free of charge.

Jokhang Temple is recognized as the most important temple in Tibetan Buddhism. Known for its elegant architecture, it was built in 652 by the King Songtsen Gampo for his two brides, Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty and Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal. For this reason, and because of several expansions of the temple over the next 900 years, it has mixed styles of Chinese, Tibetan, and Nepalese design. Pilgrims from all over Tibet come to Jokhang Temple to do kora around it and worship in front of it. With no access fee in April, there is no better time to visit this Tibetan treasure.

Sera Monastery, whose name means “Wild Roses Monastery” in Tibetan, is six kilometers north of Jokhang Temple. Every weekday afternoon, monks in traditional red robes debate Buddhism doctrines at the courtyard. Tourists will not want to miss this famous debate, during which monks will jump up and make vigorous and interesting gestures. Besides the debate, Sera Monastery is also famous for being the last Buddhist monastery ever built, and because it houses many delicate mandalas and murals of Buddha.

Famous as one of the largest and most sacred lakes in Tibet, the Yamdrok Lake attracts countless travelers to admire its beauty. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and fed by many small streams, this lake is huge, with a length of over 72 meters (45 miles). Yamdrok Lake is traditionally revered as a talisman and said to be part of the life-spirit of Tibet. At the edge of this scenic turquoise lake, you can free your body and your spirit from the noise of your busy life. And now through April, it is also free of charge!

Mount Everest has captured the interest of travelers, mountain climbers, and armchair explorers all around the world for hundreds of years. At 8,848 meters (29,029 feet), it is the world’s highest peak, offering breathtaking views that are not to be missed by any adventurer in its vicinity. During your tour in Tibet, you may choose to travel to Mount Everest National Nature Reserve, which is free through April. We offer comfortable vehicles, in which our seasoned driver will take you to the Everest Base Camp.

And because there is no access fee until the end of April, you can enjoy the complete adventure at a lower cost, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to experience one the world’s great natural wonders!

For those interested in a truly spiritual tour in Tibet, the holy Mount Kailash and holy Lake Manasarovar are the best destinations. Fortunately, they are also free of charge, but only until the end of April. Mount Kailash is recognized as the residence of Shiva, the Supreme Being in Hinduism, and it is central to the cosmology of Buddhism, and a major pilgrimage site for some Buddhist traditions. Thousands of Pilgrims from several religions believe that walking around Mount Kailash on foot is a holy ritual that will bring good fortune. Fed by the Kailash Glaciers, Lake Manasarovar is the highest freshwater lake as well as the holiest lake in the world. In Hinduism, the lake was created by the Lord Brahma in his mind.
