The Potala Palace

When you arrive at the Potala Palace in Lhasa, it's hard to believe what you're seeing: a majestic golden and white structure rises among the mountainous landscapes of the Himalayas with the solemnity of knowing it is the top of the world. If you get there aboard the Train to the Clouds -the highest railway ride ever devised to date!- you will not only enjoy a unique and unrepeatable experience but you will also enter the former home of the Dalai Lama through the grand entrance! Moreover, the beauty of the building is such that even if you don't know the local customs, you'll tip your hat to it without the need for a guard to tell you!

"If you practice the Kora, do it clockwise to avoid angering the spirits!"

This palace overlooks the city of Lhasa from above and is visible from almost any point! Its image from the outside is impressive, but what it hides inside is even more so, with the Dalai Lama's quarters -until the day of his exile to India- with walls decorated with Buddhist paintings full of enigmas to unravel and a myriad of more mysteries. Crown the “city of the sun” and take away an unforgettable memory of your visit to the Potala Palace!
