Lhasa which literally means Place of God is wrapped by majestic mountains in the southwestern china. In today’s context Lhasa is the administrative capital of Tibet. Every Tibetan Buddhist aims to visit Lhasa once in their life time. Lhasa rose to fame after the construction of three grand Gelukpa monasteries by Tsong-kha-pa along with his disciples in 15th century. After two centuries, the fifth Dalai Lama LobsangGyatso transferred his administrative center to Lhasa and started building Potala palace.Tsetang located 196 km away from Lhasa is the third largest town of central Tibet.Tsetang is famously named as the cradle of Tibetan civilization; literally Tsetang means Monkey’s ground. This ancestral town has much uniqueness to serve which is not found in the other parts of the world.
