Questions travelers usually ask before booking
These route questions cover Tibet, tibet tours planning, and the logistics travelers usually want clarified before they commit.
Tibet Tour is typically best planned for March-May September -December. Those windows usually offer the most reliable conditions for the route, logistics, and overall travel experience.
5 Days is the standard planning window for Tibet Tour. The pacing is shaped around the route flow, acclimatization, transport windows, and overnight stops rather than simply covering distance as fast as possible.
Tibet Tour is planned as a culturally focused and physically light journey, so the experience is paced around that level of movement and stamina. The route reaches 3500m, which also shapes the overall effort and recovery needed.
Hotel. The trip is positioned at the Amigo Plus service level. Final room style and amenities can vary between cities, trail stops, and more remote sections of the route.
Private Car. We coordinate the moving parts so the route flows cleanly between each segment.
Permit, entry, and route-document requirements depend on the destination, route, and the final version of your trip for Tibet. We confirm exactly what applies before departure rather than asking you to guess from generic lists.

However, this tour drives up to elevations of 3550m, so it is essential that you have moderate levels of health and moderate levels of fitness before planning this tour. Previous hiking or trekking experience is not necessary; however it is an additional benefit if you are experienced in taking extended walks.But over all, what is really required is a positive attitude and a strong determination to make it the trip. We advise especially that guest(s) with known heart, lung, or blood diseases to consult their doctor before traveling on this tour, and request these clients to report these details to us while booking the tour. This will help ensure your safety. Β Our Tour Staffs For this tour, there will be one Tibetan tour guide and driver during your visit. Our Tibetan tour guides are professional and experienced but note that Tibet is a China-dominant country so sometimes your Tibetan guides are not as talkative or personable as your Nepalese guides. However they having a very good knowledge of the tour you will be undertaking and will treat you well during your entire journey. Our tour guide is trained, certified and licensed from TTB (Tibet Tourism Board). Β Pre-trip meeting We will have a pre-trip meeting withyour entire Tibetan tour group a day earlier than the beginning of your tour, which starts from Kathmandu.

Your accommodation in Lhasa will be tourist standard but we can offer you deluxe as per your requirements but the price may vary. Our entire Tibetan tour includes breakfast. You do have to take care of lunch and dinner by yourself, but no worries, there are lots of Tibetan/ Chinese restaurantswhere you may purchase fresh foods, and at every place you stay overnight, you may have different choices of foods as well.

Your hotel in Kathmandu is not included in the tour, but you may ask us to reserve hotel rooms for you and we will assist you in booking your hotel in Kathmandu as per your preferred budget on additional cost. Β Clothing and Equipment For your travel to Tibet, it is most essential to know what to bring with you and what the essential clothes and pieces of equipment will be during your adventure. Basically, we suggest bringing clothes based on the season and altitude. During the trip you'll needed down, medium fabrics and good hiking shoes. Please find the equipment list below for your personal use during your travel to Tibet with us: A pair of light hiking/trekking boots depending on your season and altitude, a pair of sandals, 2 pairs of woolen socks and some hiking socks, 1 medium poly pro shirt, 1 pile jacket, 1 down jacket, 1 woolen hat , a pair of sunglasses, a pair of gloves with liner, a pair of woolen gloves, one day bag, sunscreen lotion SPF 10 to 25 and sunscreen stick SPF 10 to 30, some reading books (optional), a device for listening to music (option), a one liter water bottle, 1 flash light with a few sets of batteries, 1 sleeping bag (-5 to -20) depending on your season and altitude, a few t-shirts and a few long and warm trousers, one pair of wind/water proof trousers, a rain poncho, nail clippers, Swiss Army knives, etc. are the recommended items to bring with you. Most of the aforementioned equipment can be bought orrented in Kathmandu. Β Acclimatization Our Tibet tour is designed specially to prevent high altitudes from presenting any sort of health problems, so do not worry. However, as always, it is recommended that you drink plenty of water throughout your adventure tour to Lhasa. This will help with the change in altitudes as well. Β Travel Insurance Travel insurance is most essential for traveling to Tibet; good insurance will protect your financial securities and compensate your lost property while also providing emergency medical services, if needed. Please make sure that you bring a copy of your travel insurance and show it to us during the pre-trip meeting at our head office in Kathmandu before the tour starts on following morning. Travel insurance should cover any emergency evacuation, trip cancellation and medical expenses for your Tibet trip. Β Climate and Weather Climate in Tibet is totally different than climate in Nepal. As Tibet is a rain shadow part of the Himalayas, the Tibetan climate is not as harsh as many people imagine it to be. The best time to travel to Tibet is from March to the beginning of November, but among them, August and September are the most recommended. But if you only stay in Lhasa, you can go there any time of the year. Sun radiation is extremely strong in Tibet. The sunlight in Lhasa is so intense that the city is called the Sunlight City. The thin air can neither block off nor retain heat, so temperature extremes can be met in both the daytime and nighttime respectively in Tibet. Β Passport and Visa Requirements & permit Before you traveling, check your passport and validity date. You require a valid passport to visit Tibet. Passports must have at least 6 months validity after finish date of your trip. We require a copy of your passport details either thought fax or scanned images, sent to our email during the trip booking process.This way, we can obtain your Tibetan traveling permit in advance. For obtaining your Chinese visa/Tibet visa; the Chinese embassy requires your original passport to have the Chinese visa, which we do for you upon on your arrival in Kathmandu.Even if you have already obtained a Chinese visa from your homeland, this visa will not work when traveling to Tibet from Nepal, so we will have to get you a new Tibet/China visa no matter what, and your previously existing visa will be cancelled. Recently, the Chinese embassy in Kathmandu is providing visas on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so you should arrive at least two days prior to Kathmandu before departing for your Tibet tour. Your Tibetan traveling permit and your Chinese visa will be valid for approx 2 weeks to 21 days and at some point within that timeframe, you must exit the country. Please do write us if you choose to travel to mainland China,because then you would require a longer visa. Individual visas to Tibet are not possible if you are not taking any tours; your Tibet/Chinese visa is a group visa along with everyone else in the group. Always keep your passport with you and check your original visa while entering to Tibet and leaving this beautiful country after your tours ends.
