Terdom Monastery & Lhasa

In the morning we briefly visited Terdom Monastery, then drove back to Lhasa through the beautiful mountain scenery. Once there, we first used up the shower’s entire supply of hot water.

Back to Barkhor Square

Then it was off to the familiar Barkhor Square and afterwards to our by now customary tradition: yak steak, yessss!
