Lhasa Suggestion needed

Hi everyone,

This is my first trip to Tibet, and, as with any trip, one has to budget time. I've browsed my Lonely Planet Guide Book. I have one to two weeks to spare.

Which monasteries are must see and which ones I could skip? The monasteries in question are Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery, Ganden Monastery near Lhasa and Shalu Monastery and Sakya Monastery near Gyantse.

Furthermore, if I have to choose between Lake Nam-tso or Lake Yamdruke-tso, which one should I pick?

Any suggestion and opinion would be helpful.

Thank you

Tibet Autonomous Region is currently off-limits to foreigners. Read http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://kekexili.typepad.com/life_on_the_tibetan_plate/2007/02/travel_in_tibet.html for more information. When are you planning on going?

Hi I'm going to Nepal and Tibet this September too.

I've been to tibet once in 2007, I think you have to check out Drepund monastry. Get your timing right and you can experience the Shoton festival (which is my plan for this year).

if you've got msn we can share information. mine is: lazysnail_eagle@hotmail.com
