Drak Yerpa is located about 30 kilometers northeast of Lhasa and makes for a nice day trip from the city. Drak Yerpa is a series of meditation caves set in the hillside of rock outcroppings overlooking the Yerpa Valley. There is also a small monastery but the main attraction is the meditation caves. The caves are natural but not really deep, more like an alcove that has a wall over the front of each. Inside the caves are various paintings and Buddhas. A stone pathway connects the different caves which are on different levels along the hillside.
After exploring the caves, take time to walk the Kora.
