Deep in the spectacular Himalayan Mountains, Lhasa is a jewel of a destination. Potala Palace, the former residence of the Dalai Lama, is a major attraction, but you’ll also find numerous important temples and even the world’s highest brewery.

The caves are located near Samye (not near Lhasa as classified by TripAdvisor). You can visit only Chimpu nunnery which will be relatively fast, but I recommend going all the way up to the temples almost at the top of the mountain. There is no road there and you will have to walk there. Nowadays there are stairs almost all the way up and it is not very difficult (but takes time). It is best to go there early in the morning before it becomes too hot. The view from the temple on the top is amazing. Also, on the way you will see some small caves where monks and nuns meditate, and you can visit some of them.
