At first, as soon as you get off the train or plane, rest and acclimatization are compulsory for the rest of the day, before going out for a walk in the old town of Lhasa, around the Temple of Johkang.

Well acclimatized, you can now visit the temple of Johkang and lunch around the square - at the New Mandala restaurant for example. Then, the afternoon will be devoted to a visit of the monastery of Sera, especially to attend the famous "discussions".
