The great temples and palaces of Lhasa, Gyantse and Shigatse - alive with atmosphere, teeming with pilgrims - are an experiences you will not soon forget. Sacred to Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and Bonpo as the earthly manifestation of Mount Meru, a pilgrimage circuit of the mountain is one of the most effective means of acquiring merit in this life. Crossing the border it is a lovely 4-day trek through villages and barley fields to Simikot in far northwestern Nepal.
