Lonely Planet review for Meru Nyingba Monastery

Veer off the Barkhor Ciruit down the alley following the prayer wheels, then pass through a doorway into the old Meru Nyingba Monastery. This small but active monastery is a real delight and is invariably crowded with Tibetans thumbing prayer beads or lazily swinging prayer wheels and chanting under their breath. The chapel itself is administered by Nechung Monastery, which accounts for the images of the Nechung oracle inside.

The building, like the adjoining Jokhang, dates back to the 7th century, though most of what you see today is recently constructed.
