After lunch at the Yeti Cafe I decide to visit Norbulingka, the summer palace of the Dalai Lamas founded in 1755 by the Seventh Dalai Lama.
Norbulinga means 'jewel park' and is a sprawling complex of gardens and palaces which incorporates the New Summer Palace and the Palace of the Eighth Dalai Lama. I found none of the palaces particularly impressive, not least because many of the rooms are closed to the public, though a great effort has been made to maintain the gardens which are lovely and colourful.
