Lonely Planet review

As you follow the flow of pilgrims past sellers of religious photos, felt cowboy hats and electric blenders (for yak-butter tea!) along the Barkhor Circuit, you'll soon see a small building on the right, set off from the main path. This is the Mani Lhakhang, a small chapel that houses a huge prayer wheel set almost continuously in motion. To the right of the building is the grandiose entrance of the former city jail and dungeons, known as the Nangtse Shar.
