My tour group is staying in Lhasa for a few days to acclimatize before we head to higher ground. I'm thankful for this as I do not sleep well and am still suffering the effects of altitude.
Last night some of the group talked about getting up early to watch sunrise over the Potala Palace. I would love to see that but today I don't feel well and sleep until 10.30.
A few blocks away from my hotel, the Tibetan-style Banakshol, is the Barkhor Circuit, trodden by hundreds of pilgrims every day. At the heart of the Barkhor, which is also home to a bustling local and tourist market, is the Jokhang Temple, the most revered religious structure in Tibet.
