How to find the Tanva Tibetan Carpet Shop in Lhasa
The Tanva (Torana) Rug Store in Lhasa is located in the same courtyard as the Dropenling Handicrafts Center. It's a few minutes walk from the Barkhor (the main pilgrimmage circuit around the Jokhang Temple in the heart of the old town). Download our handicrafts map of Lhasa to help you.
Directions: On the east side of the Barkhor circuit, furthest from the entrance of the Jokhang Temple, locate the Makye Ame Cafe, situated on a second floor on a corner overlooking the Barkhor. Take the street that leads east by the cafe, in the direction of the mosque.
Walk about 250m until you reach the mosque (on your right). In the square in front of the mosque turn sharp left and go down the narrow alley in front of you. This leads to the courtyard where you will find the Dropenling Handicrafts center and the Tanva Carpet Shop (in the far corner: look for sign and go up the stairs).
