Shigatse |
Although Shigatse has undergone rapid development in recent years it offers few tourist facilities, but is nevertheless a popular holiday destination for adventure travellers and mountaineers, being within reach of Mount Everest.
Shigatse is also a haven for pilgrims travelling from western Tibet to Lhasa. The city is 600 years old and is the traditional seat of the Panchen Lama, an important Tibetan spiritual leader and abbot of the Tashilhunpo Monastery. The city offers some interesting monasteries in its vicinity; Shigatse's old quarter is also worth a visit while on holiday, as is its colourful market.
