The kora around Tashilhunpo monastery is probably one of the finest and easiest in Tibet; a great way to see pilgrims and fine views of the monastery and the town.
Before or after a visit of a monastery, it is always a good idea to walk the kora around it. I visited Tashilhunpo monastery in the afternoon, and fortunately daylight easily allowed me to complete the kora before it would be dark. It was surprisingly quiet on the way up, and fortunately easy to find. Coming out of the monastery and turning right, always taking care of the clockwise direction to walk the kora, I saw few pilgrims on the way up. I walked the kora nevertheless, and considering the sunlight, I decided it would be better in the early morning, hoping there would be more pilgrims, too.
