Start the climb by 9 AM or regret it while gasping for thin air. Skip the crowded main halls and head to the shaded courtyard by 3 PM; the monk debates are absolute high-energy theater. Wander the quiet, labyrinthine alleys behind the main complex to find rock-carved Buddhas far from the tour groups. Budget three hours total. If you only have limited time in the city, skip the longer expeditions and stick to the 4-day Lhasa Impression tour.
