Booking tips

Hotel prices are generally lower during the shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October). Book well in advance, especially if traveling during peak season (summer) or around major Tibetan festivals, to secure your preferred accommodation.

Food to try

Try momos (Tibetan dumplings) filled with yak meat or vegetables; many restaurants around Barkhor Square serve them. Sample yak butter tea, a staple Tibetan drink, though it may be an acquired taste for some. Look for restaurants serving authentic Tibetan stews near the monasteries.

Getting around

Taxis are readily available, but agree on a fare beforehand. Consider using local buses for a cheaper way to get around, but be aware that routes can be crowded. Walking is a great way to explore the central areas like Barkhor.
