A Final Goodbye!
We were happy to arrive in Lhasa after our 7 hour drive from Shigatse.
Shigatse had been a nice little break, for the first time in a long time we had a great nights sleep in clean white linen sheets, with no bugs, leaks or anything else that is usually unexpected.
The drive had been routine until we suddenly hit a road block. …
Finally, some offroad mud
I've got unexpected internet access in Zhigatse, so am updating last few days of travelpod...
Sept 1: After a writing morning, I packed up and our truck left Lhasa minus 3 of our original 8 passengers. Dave ended up getting really quite sick – him and Sarah, his wife, had already missed the Golmud to Lhasa section as Dave had an …
Mission Possible: Tibet (Part I)
Tashi delek! (Hi in Tibetan)
It has been Dasha's dream to get to this highest, most elevated and most isolated place on earth. Unlike Thailand or Laos, getting to Tibet was not an easy task. It was a complex process in which both our hearts and souls were invested in reaching the "roof of the world."
First of all, the government …
Eindelijk Tibet!
Tashi Dele!
Voor Pascal was Tibet een van de belangrijkste bestemmingen tijdens de wereldreis. Vanuit Nederland was het niet goed mogelijk een individuele reis te regelen en groepsreizen waren te duur en natuurlijk ook minder avonturistisch! Daarnaast bleek het onmogelijk een treinreis naar Lhasa te boeken vanuit NL, wat wij erg graag …
Touring Tibet 1: Potala Palace & Jokhang Temple
... hit a second security station, where they scrutinized our permits and passports.
We began walking up the steps--320 of them to be exact. No, I didn't count, but our guide was a bit obsessive about that number. While that's not much of a workout, I must admit being fully winded a few times with the serious altitude, trying to suck in more oxygen.
The two colors of the palace differentiate the Dalai Lama's political rule ...

“Great Location, Quality of Rooms Poor”
Reviewed Sep 28, 2011
The hotel was right in the middle of Lhasa, situated only 50m away from the Jokhang square which was an excellent location and not very expensive with a double room for 200 rmb.
The building is quite run down and the quality of the rooms differs significantly. We stayed for 9 nights and have stayed at several rooms. First room was fine with only a non-functional window lock, second room didn't have a working shower and a broken toilet and in the third room the sink wasn't working properly with a broken bathtub meaning a bathroom flood every morning.
So overall conclusion, location is excellent however the hotel and rooms are badly maintained and run down. We would recommend first carefully inspecting the room before accepting it!
