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.
Inevitably, you will end up at the entrance of the Jokhang temple, where most pilgrims stop to pray. In the morning, this is a great place to be, the sound of the wooden blocks being pushed by praying Tibetans just outside the temple, pilgrims walking the kora stopping for prayer in front of the temple, people gathering around the incense burners or sangkang to throw in juniper branches, without being disturbed by commerce and onlookers. During the day, people continue circling the Jokhang temple on the Barkhor kora, but then the circuit takes on a much livelier air, turning into a curious mix of commerce, buddhists and groups of tourists.
