5 Days Private Tour Lhasa
On this trip we’ll experience the lively Shoton Festival 2025 in Lhasa, Tibet. The Shoton is one such festive occasion with a long tradition. “Sho” means “yogurt” and “ton”, “Banquet,” so “Shoton” is translated as “Yogurt Banquet”, which is what it originally was. Later the banquet part gradually gave way to Tibetan opera performances, so that the “Yogurt Banquet” in fact became an opera festival.
In Lhasa - the capital city of Tibet - we have two days for the attractions: Potala, Jokhang, Ani Sangkhung and Ramoche. And from Parla Lupu Monastery we'll enjoy the magnificent view of Potala Palace. We could circle around the Tibetan holiest Monastery Jokhang with pilgrims, who come from all over Tibet and the Tibetan cultural areas of Kham-Amdo of the provinces of Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu and Yunnan. Many pious Tibetans measure the way on the Barkhor market with their body length.
