Our guide made sure that as well as the main sights, we also visited some more unusual things like the water powered incense factory. We were fortunate to be invited to visit our driver's home and share lunch with his family. Read full reviewReviewed on 31 May 2017 by Ann Williams

The most memorable part of the vacation was walking around Barkhor Square in Lhasa seeing people on pilgrimage from various regions of Tibet. The people were very friendly and even came to shake our hands and say hello. The vacation was absolutely fantastic. The Tibetan landscape is stunning and the monasteries and temples are fascinating.
