In the afternoon, feel free to stroll Barkhor Street, a vibrant and bustling area where you can immerse yourself in Tibetan culture. The street is famous for its local shops offering Tibetan handicrafts, textiles, and religious artifacts. You can also taste delicious Tibetan dishes like momo (dumplings) and tsampa (roasted barley flour).
