Of all koras, the Barkhor kora is probably the most famous and most used by Tibetan Buddhists. A continuous stream of pilgrims flows past market stalls and comes to a halt in front of the Jokhang Temple.
Lhasa has basically become a Chinese city with a Tibetan quarter, and does not anymore deserve the ancient label Forbidden City. The Tibetan quarter, however, invariably draws most visitors and is a lively area of the city. It is impossible to visit Lhasa without ending up in the flow of pilgrims walking the Barkhor kora or religious circuit, circling the inner heart of the Tibetan quarter around the Jokhang temple - in a clockwise direction. The circuit is very accessible with some 800 metres, and you can see all kinds of people on this circuit, from all over Tibet - some in their traditional and remarkably colourful dresses. After all, for many pilgrims from remote regions, Lhasa still is one of the ultimate destinations.
