Being the ancient palace of Lhasa, it raises beautifully on the skyline of Lhasa. You cannot take any pictures at the insight though, as in so many monasteries in Tibet. Except if you pay of course...:o(( But the memory of just being there and seeing it all and imagining Brad Pitt walking around there is worth climbing up all those steps!! Just don't let all the Chinese tourists get t o you and marvel your way through the many halls...You will like it for shure!

Biggest stupa in Nepal, really worth a trip to the north of town!!!
