Barkhor Circuit


Darchen - two enormous prayer mast directly in front of the Jokhong Temple.


Pilgrims prostrating themselves as they go around the circuit - lying full length on the ground, then picking themselves up and repeating the act - advancing one body length with each prostration

Barkhor circuit is the most famous and one that every Tibetan wants to circumambulate at least once in their life.
