Route to the more than 120 steep steps to the Potala.
The sharp ascend to the Potala. I took 4 or 5 breaks before reaching the top, and gasping for oxygen. Luckily I brought a canister to keep me going. It was cold, about 10 C. Many serniors , men and women, also took the challenge to climb to the Potala, taking as many breaks as they needed.
The huge yellow wall was the first to greet all the visitors at the Potala.
Hanging decoration in front of the main hall of the Potala. There were several halls housing many buddhas with the one housing Sakyamuni Buddha at the end, at the highest level.
Vistors to the Potala.
