I lived several years in Cerro de Pasco at 14,200 feet and there are many other towns between 12,000 and 14,000 in Perú. I lived as a child in La Oroya at 12,000.

Been to Lhasa before. Took the bus from Golmud to get there. Bus went up to about 5000 meteres - so by the time I got to Lhasa, I felt great since it was lower. Beautiful place. Wonder what it be like to visit today. (I was there in 1997). Nice one Julie. Love this.

You can visit the Potala on the 3rd day only, because you're not prepared to climb a single step on the first day in town... A few days after you may be ready to make some trekks around the city and/or the temples nearby, but keep in mind that you should always be very conscious of your vulnerability. I can't wait to get back there :) I’ve been to Lhasa and it’s an incredible place to visit, but indeed, the altitude gets to you when you set foot at the airport.
