    The Kathmandu to Lhasa Trip Turned Out to Be Very Satisfying

    I had been expecting to visit Tibet for quite some time, but I was always hesitant due to potential issues. However, the entire journey from Kathmandu to Lhasa was immensely satisfying. Every stop along the way was filled with laughter and adventure. The weather was surprisingly good, and we even got to experience a sunny day when we arrived at the Everest Base Camp. We are so lucky to see the sunset at EBC. Our guide was very responsible and took care of every detail to ensure that we had an amazing experience. He was also quite knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the culture and architecture of Tibet. Overall, it was an unforgettable overland journey across Himalaya ranges from Kathmandu to Lhasa. I highly recommend Tibet Horizon to anyone considering a trip to Tibet.

    Five-Star Review for the 8-Day Kathmandu Overland to Lhasa Journey

    Our Tibet journey started in Kathmandu, and the scenic drive across the Himalayas to Lhasa was nothing short of breathtaking. The landscapes were stunning, and our driver was skilled and cautious, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. We visit to Mt. Everest, watching the sunset over Everest. And although we didn't stay overnight at the 5200m EBC tent, the day visit was perfectly managed and exhilarating. On the fifth day of our trip, we arrived in Lhasa. In Lhasa City, the visit to the historic Potala Palace was a profound experience. It was incredible to see the traditional home of the Dalai Lama up close and learn about its rich history. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to share fascinating insights about Tibetan culture and history. Their passion for the region was evident and added a lot of value to our experience. It was the Tibet Horizon's attention to detail and personal care that made this trip truly special. All I want to say is thank you, Tibet Horizon, for an incredible journey!

    Experiencing Tibet: Culture, Mountains, and Monasteries with Tibet Horizon

    The journey from Kathmandu to Tibet was an adventure in itself, and Tibet Horizon made sure every part of it was smooth and enjoyable. The trek around Mt. Kailash was challenging, but our guide was incredibly supportive. On our second trekking day, I was feeling quite exhausted, and Tashi noticed. He took some time to share stories about the local traditions, which really uplifted my spirits. His knowledge and passion for the culture were evident and made the trek even more meaningful. When we explored the ruins of Guge Kingdom, our guide’s enthusiasm brought the ancient history to life, making the ruins much more than just old stones. And our time in Lhasa was equally amazing. We visited several monastery, where we were fortunate enough to witness a lively debating session among the monks. This was arranged by our guide, who knew the perfect time to visit for this unique experience. Tibet Horizon provided an exceptional experience with their well-planned itinerary and outstanding service. A special thanks to our guides for making this trip extraordinary.

    Memories of Lhasa and Everest Would Stay with Us for a Lifetime

    Embarking on the remarkable journey through Tibet was an experience beyond compare! Standing face to face with the awe-inspiring Mount Everest was nothing short of awe-inspiring, as its sheer magnitude left us speechless and humbled. As we gazed upon the majestic peaks, a sense of exhilaration and wonder engulfed us, filling our hearts with an indescribable sense of adventure. But the magic didn't stop there. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting its golden glow over the landscape, we were treated to a breathtaking spectacle. And we are so lucky to see the Milky Way, which previously existed only in my memory, but now unfolds right before my eyes. Each detail of our journey, from the majestic Potala Palace and relaxing overland tour to Kathmandu, added to the richness of our experience. And as we reflected on our time in Tibet, we knew that these memories would stay with us for a lifetime, serving as a constant reminder of the beauty and majesty of this extraordinary land.

    Dream-Come-True Tour in the Journey from Lhasa to Kathmandu

    The scenery was breathtaking every step of the way. Starting in Lhasa, the Potala Palace set the tone with its majestic presence and historical significance. As we moved through Gyantse, the landscapes were simply stunning. We visited serene monasteries and beautiful valleys that felt untouched by time. Reaching EBC was a dream come true. Standing at the foot of the world's highest peak, surrounded by such awe-inspiring beauty, was an experience I'll never forget. One memorable moment was when our guide noticed a herd of yaks grazing near our path. They suggested we stop and take in the view, even arranging for us to meet a local herder who shared stories about life in the mountains. This unexpected interaction added a wonderful personal touch to our journey. The final leg to Gyirong and onward to Kathmandu offered spectacular views of lush landscapes and towering peaks. Every day brought new and unforgettable vistas. This tour was a perfect way to see the best of Tibet's natural beauty and cultural heritage.

    I must give Tibet Horizon 5-star comment. From the moment we were welcomed in Lhasa, the service from the company was exceptional. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, ensuring we were well taken care of throughout the trip. Also, he was very responsible. When I accidentally left my camera at a rest stop. Our guide immediately contacted the local staff, and within an hour, they had located my camera and arranged for its return. This level of care and responsibility truly impressed me and saved my trip memories. The scenery of Tibet was breathtaking. The historic Potala Palace was a magnificent sight, our guide’s detailed explanations made it come alive with history. Watching the sunset and sunrise at Everest Base Camp was nothing short of magical. Staying overnight in a tent at 5200m and gazing at the Milky Way was surreal and something I'll never forget.

    Dream Journey for Cycling Enthusiasts: Riding to EBC, Kailash, and Guge Kingdom

    As a passionate cycling enthusiast, I’ve ridden through many incredible places over the past few years. When I saw posts on a cycling forum recruiting riders for a motorcycle tour in Tibet, I knew I had to join. This 13-day tour was by far the most challenging ride I've ever undertaken. One particularly tough day stands out: we were riding along the G318 highway, and the weather suddenly turned. Rain started pouring down, and the temperature dropped significantly. Navigating the winding mountain roads in these conditions was daunting, but our group's camaraderie and determination kept us going. When we finally reached a small village and found shelter, the sense of accomplishment was immense. It was a reminder of the resilience and teamwork that cycling can bring out in people.

    Despite the challenges, this tour was incredibly rewarding. The landscapes we rode through were unlike anything I’d ever seen. The serene beauty of the two sacred lakes left me in awe. Standing at the foot of Mount Everest, witnessing the majestic sunrise and sunset, was an experience I'll never forget. The historical relics of the Guge Kingdom added a rich cultural dimension to the journey, making it more than just a physical challenge. The support from the tour company was outstanding. From the detailed pre-trip preparations to the on-ground support, everything was meticulously organized. Our guides were knowledgeable and always ready to help, ensuring our safety and comfort. The accommodations were comfortable, and the food was delicious, giving us the energy we needed for each day's ride.

    This trip was a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and natural beauty. I'm deeply satisfied with the entire experience and grateful to the tour company for making it possible. It was a transformative journey that not only tested my limits but also enriched my understanding of Tibet’s unique landscapes and heritage.

    Special Culture in Tibet - Shoton Festival in Lhasa, EBC and Namtso

    I have expected to experience Tibet during one of its most vibrant festivals-Shoton Festival-for a long time. So I came here and it didn’t disappoint me. This journey was filled with delightful surprises. The historic Potala Palace was as majestic as I imagined, and participating in the Shoton Festival at Drepung Monastery was a unique cultural immersion, highlighted by traditional Tibetan opera. Visiting the sacred Yamdrok Lake and Namtso Lake provided moments of serenity and awe. Witnessing the sunrise and sunset at Everest Base Camp was breathtaking.

    Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to share fascinating insights. The driver was skilled, ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey. The accommodations arranged by him were comfortable, and the food was delicious, offering a taste of local cuisine.

    Tibet Horizon's excellent service made this trip truly memorable. These ten days have given me a deeper appreciation for Tibetan culture and nature. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure. Thank you, Tibet Horizon, for an incredible experience!

    Wonderful Tibet Trip with Kailash Manasarovar to Frame Every Moments with Tibet Horizon

    I love photography and travel, so I was beyond excited for our 14-day photography tour in Tibet. It turned out to be everything I had hoped for and more. I captured some of the best photos of my life during this trip. We started in Lhasa, where I was mesmerized by the historic Potala Palace. The intricate details and rich history were perfect subjects for my camera. Our next stop was the ancient Guge Kingdom, and our knowledgeable guide brought the ruins to life with fascinating stories. The cultural relics provided stunning backdrops for my shots. The most memorable part of the trip was definitely the sunrise and sunset at Mount Everest Base Camp. Seeing the majestic peak bathed in golden light was a breathtaking experience that my camera and I couldn't get enough of. Visiting the two sacred lakes was also incredible. The serene and sacred atmosphere of these lakes made for some truly beautiful photos, and the hot springs near Lake Manasarovar were a pleasant surprise, as a soak in them washed away all our fatigue.

    I didn't just capture the landscapes, but also photographed our guide and the friends we made on the tour. Spending two weeks together, we created some wonderful memories, and I made sure to document our journey together. One evening, we had an impromptu photo shoot at our campsite, with everyone laughing and posing against the stunning backdrop of the Tibetan sky. Those pictures turned out to be some of my favorites, and they will always remind me of the amazing people I met on this trip. I am extremely satisfied and highly recommend Tibet Horizon to anyone looking to explore Tibet. They turned my dream trip into a reality, filled with precious memories and stunning photographs.

    Pilgrimage and Trekking Tour: Soul Cleansing and Purification in Tibet - Everest & Kailash & Manasaovar

    The 15-day journey to Tibet is the farthest place I've traveled to so far. During these 15 days, I gained a lot.. The views around the Mount Kailash during the 3-day pilgrimage were breathtaking, especially when the sun's rays made the snow-capped peaks glow. The bright turquoise water of one of the sacred lakes, surrounded by tall mountains, was a real highlight, and another lake we visited was just as beautiful and peaceful. Visiting the famous Potala Palace was like stepping back in time. It's filled with cool history and amazing architecture. Also, I tried the local food, and my favorites were butter tea and yogurt. Throughout the trip, my guide was super helpful and reliable, making everything run smoothly. Big thanks to my guide and Tibet Horizon for making this trip unforgettable!

From the iconic landmarks of Lhasa to the breathtaking vistas on the road to Everest Base Camp, every moment was filled with awe-inspiring beauty. One particular moment that stands out is when we reached Everest Base Camp and spent the night in the tent at 5200m. As we gazed up at the Milky Way shimmering above us, surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Himalayas, it was a surreal experience that will stay with me forever. What made this trip truly unforgettable, however, was the exceptional service provided by Tibet Horizon. Our guide was knowledgeable, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our safety and comfort throughout the journey.

Our guide, Mr. Lhakpa Tsering, was a treasure trove of knowledge, guiding us through each destination with fascinating insights into Tibet's history and culture. Despite the winter challenges, Mr. Lhakpa Tsering made sure we were safe and comfortable, giving us helpful tips on adjusting to the altitude and reminding us to take care of ourselves. Our accommodations were great and inviting, with cozy blankets and comfortable beds that kept us warm during the chilly nights at high altitudes. Even at Everest Base Camp, where the stars lit up the sky, the tent provided was like a cozy oasis, letting us enjoy the stunning Milky Way without feeling the cold. And the food! Oh, the food was simply divine. Hearty Tibetan dishes filled with local flavors, prepared by the talented chefs who accompanied us on our journey. All in all, my experience with Tibet Horizon went beyond my wildest dreams. Exploring Tibet in winter was a revelation, with its clear skies and refreshing air. If you're looking for adventure, culture, and impeccable service in the Himalayas, I can't recommend Tibet Horizon enough!

    Enjoyable Trip of Tibet: From Mount Everest to Yamdrok Lake

    Having visited Tibet in the summer a decade ago, I was eager to experience its winter charm this time around. However, I underestimated the severity of altitude sickness compared to my previous trip, so it took a good two to three days to acclimate properly. It's essential for everyone to be well-prepared and heed the guide's advice. Once adjusted, we explored various sites across Tibet, from the iconic Potala Palace to the serene shores of Yamdrok Lake.At Everest Base Camp, witnessing the sunrise and sunset was an experience beyond words. As the first light painted the towering peaks in hues of gold and pink, it felt as if time stood still, and we were witnessing a moment of pure magic. Andtreasurable when night fell, the sky transformed into a canvas of stars, with the Milky Way stretching across the heavens in all its celestial glory. Wrapped in blankets, we gazed in awe at the vastness of the universe, feeling infinitely small yet deeply connected to the cosmos. Despite the chill in the air, the clear skies offered stunning views of snow-capped mountains and unforgettable moments under the stars.

    Special Tour in Tibet: Namtso, Yamdrok Lake and EBC

    Travelling to Tibet was an incredible decision! From the get-go, they had everything sorted, from helping us with our paperwork to setting us up with knowledgeable local guides and smooth transportation. Our guide was fantastic! He knew so much about Tibet's history and culture. I remember this one time at the Historic Potala Palace; he shared a fascinating story about its significance and the Dalai Lama's connection to it. It really made the place come alive for me. Staying overnight at the 5200m EBC tent was a lifetime experience! The night sky was crystal clear, and seeing the Milky Way stretched out above us was absolutely magical. It's a moment I'll never forget! The sacred lakes were simply stunning! The calm waters reflecting the Thanglha Mountain Ranges created a breathtaking view that I couldn't stop staring at. Thanks Tibet Horizon for organizing such an epic trip! As an international student in China, this adventure was a fantastic way to dive into Tibet's unique culture and beautiful landscapes. I'm already looking forward to my next trip with them!

    The view of Mt. Everest is stunning!

    Got a Perfect Trip in Tibet, Especially at EBC

    Our guide was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had an enriching experience. His insights into Tibetan culture, history and architecture added depth to our journey. I remember the night staying at the 5200m EBC, challenging and rewarding. Watching the sunrise and sunset at Everest Base Camp was a surreal experience that words cannot describe. The visit to Yamdrok Lake and Namtso Lake was a spiritual journey. The crystal-clear waters and surrounding mountains were a sight to behold and left a lasting impression on me. The tour was flawlessly organized, from the moment I arrived in Lhasa to the time I said goodbye. The assistance with visa and permits was smooth, and the pick-up and drop-off services were punctual and reliable. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Tibet Horizon for creating such a memorable trip.

    A Trip Full of Surprises to Mount Everest

    Having spent over a year in China as international students, my partner and I have roamed through the ancient streets of Xi'an, trekked the lush landscapes of Yunnan, and marveled at the grandeur of Beijing. Yet, the mystique of Tibet beckoned us with its enchanting allure, teasing us through online videos and travel tales. Thus, to mark our anniversary, we embarked on the 8-day Tibet journey, and what an odyssey it turned out to be! splendor Our journey began with the historic Potala Palace, its towering façade a testament to Tibet's rich cultural heritage. We wandered through its labyrinthine halls, mesmerized by the intricate murals and sacred relics that whispered tales of bygone eras. As we ventured further, the azure waters of Yamdrok Lake greeted us, casting a spell of tranquility upon our souls. The Khumbum Stupa in Gyantse stood as a majestic monument to Tibetan Buddhism, its intricate architecture leaving us in awe of the artisans' skill. But it was our night at Everest Base Camp that left an indelible mark on our hearts. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of crimson and gold, we stood in silent reverence before the world's highest peak. And when darkness enveloped the camp, revealing the Milky Way in all its celestial splendor, we felt an overwhelming sense of connection to the universe. Amidst these grand spectacles, it was a simple gesture from our guide that touched us most deeply. Over a steaming cup of yak butter tea, he shared stories of his homeland, weaving a tapestry of tradition and resilience that left us humbled and inspired. In the end, as we bid farewell to Tibet, we carried with us not just memories, but a profound sense of gratitude for this once-in-a-lifetime journey. Our guide's sincere blessings and expert guidance made every moment unforgettable.

EBC Tour Faqs

  • 1. How to get to Everest Base Camp?

    Travelers can get to Tibet Everest Base Camp from Tibet or Nepal.

    To reach the Everest Base Camp from the Tibet side, travelers can either take a flight or a train to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, and then travel by road to the base camp. From Lhasa, it takes around 8-10 hours directly to Tibet EBC. Most tourists travel from Lhasa to Shigatse to Everest Base Camp for 4 days to enjoy the view along the way. An alternative is to take a bullet train from Lhasa to Shigatse, which only takes 2h20min, and then drive about 350km to EBC.

    If traveling from Nepal, you will cross the Gyirong Border and then travel about 340km by road to Everest Base Camp.

  • 2. What is the best time to visit Everest Base Camp?

    The best time to visit Tibet is generally from April to June and from September to October. During these months, the weather is relatively stable, with clear skies and mild temperatures, making it ideal for enjoying the stunning views of Mount Everest and the surrounding Himalayan landscape.

  • 3. What permits are needed to visit Everest Base Camp in Tibet?

    To visit Everest Base Camp in Tibet, travelers typically need the following permits:

    Tibet Travel Permit: This permit is issued by the Tibet Tourism Bureau (TTB) and is required for all foreign travelers visiting Tibet.

    Aliens' Travel Permit: Travelers traveling to partially restricted areas such as EBC, Basumtso Lake, Samye Monastery, etc. need to obtain Aliens’ Travel Permit via Tibet Travel Agency (like Tibet Horizon).

    Military Area Entry Permit: If you're extending your trip to military-sensitive areas such as Mount Kailash, Lake Manasarovar, etc, need to apply for a Military Area Entry Permit.

    Chinese Group Visa: If you travel to Tibet from Nepal, you’ll need a Chinese Group Visa issued by the Embassy in Kathmandu.

    Our Xizang tour packages include Tibet Travel Permit and all the necessary Tibet travel documents. If you book with us, we’ll help apply for the permits needed to ensure a smooth and worry-free EBC tour.

  • 4. Where to stay at Everest Base Camp?

    Currently, there are two options for accommodation at EBC. During the peak tourist season from April to October, tourists can stay in the tent camps. These camps provide basic facilities, such as food, beds, pillows and sheets. There’s no private bathroom in the camp. Staying in the tent guest house offers a unique opportunity to appreciate the snow-capped and mighty Mount Everest at close range. However, due to the cold weather and climate, the tents are not available during winter. In winter, Rongbuk Monastery Guesthouse is the only place to stay at Mount Everest in winter. The guesthouse also offers basic facilities and accommodation to visitors.

  • 5. What are the photo spots at Everest Base Camp?

    Gyawu La Pass offers you the first glimpse of Mount Everest and a panoramic view of this majestic mountain. Here you can take perfect photos of the snow mountain.
    5200 Monument marks the elevation of Everest Base Camp where you can take a photo to commemorate your trip to EBC.
    8848 Monument represents the elevation of Mount Everest. It is the closest viewing spot to Mt. Everest. You can take photos here with the monument and the majestic Everest.
    Rongbuk Monastery also has a great view of the mountain and the sunrise and sunset of Mt. Everest. Whether you want to take photos of the natural scenes or the building itself, this is a perfect photo site for tourists.

  • 6. What to pack for Everest Base Camp tour?

    Firstly, bring a jacket to prepare for bad weather and huge temperature difference. Also, pack a pair of sneakers or hiking boots as you can’t avoid walking on the mountain paths. Bring some disposable underwear for easy changing.
    Secondly, sun hats, sunglasses, face masks, and sunscreen are essential-UV rays on the plateau are no joke.
    Thirdly, bring a small bag to carry some medicine in case of unexpected situations: stuff like Banlangen, band-aids, anti-diarrhea medicine, cold medicine, and glucose.
    Also, since the weather is dry here, you’d better bring your lip balm and facial moisturizer.

  • 7. How to deal with possible altitude sickness?

    The average elevation of the region is over 4,000 meters, so it’s common for some tourists to experience altitude sickness. The symptoms of altitude sickness can include headache, nausea, and dizziness.

    To minimize the effect of altitude sickness, it is important to allow time to acclimate to the high altitude and to take precautions to prevent altitude sickness. Travelers should drink plenty of water, eat light meals, and avoid alcohol or caffeine. It is also recommended to take a slow path in the first two days after entering Tibet, avoiding strenuous activities like running.

    If you feel uncomfortable when visiting EBC, tell your guide. We have prepared oxygen tanks in our vehicles. You can inhale oxygen and take medication when necessary. If symptoms of altitude sickness persist or worsen, we’ll help transfer you to the hotel or hospital to seek medical attention immediately.

    Buy Diamox in Lhasa or bring it with me?

    I learned online that Diamox can help alleviate altitude sickness. I would like to know if this medication is available for purchase at pharmacies in Lhasa, or if I should bring it with me?

    Mr. Kalsang Rinchen from Tibet Horizon, answered on March 18th, 2023

    Dear Garcia, thank you for your inquiry. Diamox is indeed known to help alleviate altitude sickness. However, it's essential to note that Diamox typically needs to be started one to two days before your trip.

    While pharmacies in Lhasa may carry Diamox, it's not always readily available, and you may need to consult a doctor at a hospital to obtain it. Therefore, we recommend preparing Diamox before your departure and starting the medication as instructed. It's crucial to be aware that Diamox can have side effects, so it's essential to consult with a doctor before taking it. We advise against purchasing Diamox without proper medical guidance.

    Any advice on the trip Lhasa to Kathmandu

    Hi there I'm planning a trip arriving Lhasa and finishing in Kathmandu. Any advice on who to fly with for cheapest price? Are there any particular days they fly out?

    Mr. Tenzin Sherab from Tibet Horizon, answered on February 15th, 2021

    Dear González, thank you for reaching out us. To provide you with the most accurate information, could you please share your estimated travel dates with us? This will help us determine the best options for flights and provide you with more reliable

    1.If you have around 8 days, you can drive from Lhasa to the Nepal border via Everest Base Camp (EBC). From there, you can take local jeeps to Kathmandu. Please note that currently, the road near the Nepal border is damaged by landslides, but if your trip is next year, this may not be a problem.

    2.If you're short on time, you can fly from Lhasa to Kathmandu. While the direct flight by Air China is a bit expensive and not available daily, China Eastern Air sometimes offers excellent discount tickets. They fly from Lhasa to Kunming and then from Kunming to Kathmandu, sometimes at half the cost of the direct flight. However, the availability and pricing of connecting flights can vary depending on several factors.

    Once we have your estimated travel dates, we can provide you with more specific flight options and recommendations. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or need assistance with your travel arrangements.

    Some questions on different price between Chinese and foreigner

    Hello, I study in Shanghai and I'd like to make a tour in Tibet. I know I need Tibet entry permit. I just wonder, why the trip to Tibet for Chinese is twice cheaper that foreigners. If you could help me and recommend good way how to get there and don't ruin my student budget I would be really appreciate.

    Mr. Tseten Namgyal from Tibet Horizon, answered on July 11th, 2023

    Dear Costa, thank you for reaching out us. The difference in pricing typically stems from several factors. Firstly, Chinese citizens can travel independently in Tibet, while foreign visitors are required to be accompanied by a private guide and vehicle, which significantly increases the cost. Additionally, the cost of transportation within Tibet, especially for long-distance drives, can be quite expensive due to the rugged terrain and remote locations.

    To help you stay within your student budget, we recommend considering alternative transportation options such as taking a train to Lhasa from Shanghai, which is generally more budget-friendly compared to flying. You can also save money by booking your train ticket in advance.

    If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to help make your trip to Tibet enjoyable and affordable!

    The best time to do the Kora around Kailash

    Hello, I would like to know the best time to do the Kora around Kailash. My friends and I are planning a pilgrimage trip to Tibet. Appreciate your reply.

    Mr. Kalsang Rinchen from Tibet Horizon, answered on March 15th, 2024

    Dear Williams, thank you for your inquiry! It's fantastic to hear about your pilgrimage trip plans to Tibet. Kailash Kora can be undertaken from April to October, with each season offering unique climatic characteristics.

July and August (Summer) bring warmer temperatures up to 23°C, with occasional rain but generally stunning views due to the mountain's protection by surrounding ranges.

    September and October (Autumn) follow the monsoon season with cooler temperatures, clear skies, and lush landscapes. October is ideal for witnessing Tibetan pilgrims performing the ritual Kora. For more detailed information, you can refer to the best time to visit Kailash. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or need assistance.

And can foreigners use public transport to get to places in Lhasa City? If yes, Is it still necessary to hire a guide if we were to move around on our own?

    Mr. Tenzin Jamphel from Tibet Horizon, answered on November 11st, 2023

    Dear Chen, thank you for your inquiry about transportation in Lhasa City. We are pleased to provide you with detailed information.

    Foreigners can use public transport in Lhasa. Modern buses operate on more than 20 routes around the city. Although bus stops can be a little hard to find initially and information boards may only list major stops, buses run every 20 minutes on each route. The information is not in English, so some prior research with your guide is recommended. However, the buses are cheap, with most routes costing just 1-2 yuan.

    Whether the altitude will be a problem for the kids

    Hi, we are planning a trip to Chengdu and were hoping to include Lhasa as part of our trip.We are travelling with some younger children ages 4 and 8.I was wondering whether the altitude will be a problem for the kids. We would envisage spending about three nights after visiting Chengdu.

    Mr. Tsering Wangdue from Tibet Horizon, answered on August 23rd, 2022

    Dear Mertens, thank you for reaching out us. Traveling to Lhasa, situated at an altitude of about 3,650 meters (12,000 feet), can pose challenges due to the high altitude, especially for young children. Altitude sickness can affect anyone, and young children may have difficulty expressing their discomfort. Watch for symptoms like headaches, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath.

    To mitigate these risks, ensure your children stay well-hydrated, rest adequately, and avoid strenuous activities upon arrival. Gradually ascending to higher altitudes before reaching Lhasa, if possible, can also help their bodies adjust. We strongly recommend consulting with your pediatrician for personalized advice and preventive measures.

    With careful planning and the right precautions, traveling to Lhasa with young children can be safe and enjoyable. If you have further questions or need assistance with your travel arrangements, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are here to help ensure you have a safe and memorable trip.

    Hi! Is there any hotel in Lhasa that has a Potala Palace view?

    Mr. Tenzin Sherab from Tibet Horizon, answered on July 2nd, 2024

    Dear Kalvaitis, thank you for extending your question to us!

    Lhasa offers varied options for accommodation, including luxury hotels with Potala Palace View. Lhasa Shangri-la Hotel is only 2km from the Palace. Most rooms have a side view of the Palace. St. Regis Resort is close to Jokhang Temple and some rooms also offer a view of Potala Palace. Songtsam Choskyi Linka hotel is on the hillside southeast of the Potala Palace and has a wide view of the majestic palace due to its high location. Not all rooms offer a view of Potala. If you want to reserve a room with Potala Palace view, please contact us for more details.

    Chinese Group Visa No Need for French?

    Hi! I’m from France with French passport. If I fly to Lhasa from Kathmandu and then travel back to Kathmandu with 15 days, I don’t need a Group Visa. It that true?

    Mr. Tashi Wangyal from Tibet Horizon, answered on March 12th, 2024

    Dear Richard, thank you for extending your question to us.

    It’s true that people from countries enjoying 15-day visa-exemption policy, including France, can travel from Kathmandu to Tibet without applying for the Chinese Group Visa. Although tourists from above-mentioned countries are exempted from a Chinese Group Visa, they still need some travel permits required for a Tibet tour. First, travelers need to apply for the Tibet Travel Permit, which is the prerequisite for entering into Tibet. To visit places such as EBC, you’ll need the Alien’s Travel Permit. If you travel to Ngari Prefecture, the Military Area Entry Permit is required.

    Our agency can arrange all the necessary travel documents for you. If you have further questions, feel free to contact us.

    Dear Larsen, thank you for extending your question to us.

    Can I Visit Namtso in Winter?

    Hi, I want to travel to Tibet next year during Chinese summer or winter vacation. If I go to Tibet in winter, can I visit Namtso Lake?

    Mr. Tenzin Sherab from Tibet Horizon, answered on July 15th, 2024

    Dear Park, thank you for extending your question to us.

    It’s not recommended to travel to Namtso Lake in winter. Situated at an altitude of 4,718 meters and surrounded by snow-capped mountains, Namtso Lake sees a special climate, which features strong wind and heavy snow in winter. November to February is the coldest time at Namtso and the lake begins to get frozen. During this period, the lake is often closed. Therefore, if you want to include Namtso Lake in your Tibet trip, you’d better avoid travel there in winter.

    If your have further questions, feel free to contact us. We’re looking forward to your arrival in Tibet next year.

    Kathmandu, Lhasa, Beijing Travel Route

    We plan to fly to Kathmandu in Aug for a short tour of Nepal. After that we want to visit Lhasa and Beijing. Which is a better route to take - is it better to take Kathmandu - Lhasa -Beijing -Kathmandu OR Kathmandu - Beijing - Lhasa -Kathmandu?

    Mr. Tashi Wangyal from Tibet Horizon, answered on March 18th, 2024

    Dear Dumont, thank you for reaching out with your travel plans. We're excited to help you with your itinerary.

    Based on your plan to visit Kathmandu, Lhasa, and Beijing, it would be more efficient to follow the route Kathmandu - Lhasa - Beijing - Kathmandu. This route prevents backtracking and makes the most of your travel time. Additionally, it simplifies your visa process. Traveling from Nepal to Tibet requires a special type of Chinese visa, which you must obtain in Kathmandu. This visa will replace any other Chinese visa in your passport, so it's best not to apply for a regular Chinese visa beforehand.

    If your travel dates are flexible, you might consider spending several days in Tibet beyond Lhasa, as it's a unique opportunity to explore this remarkable region. Depending on your schedule and budget, you can either take a train from Lhasa to Xining and then fly to Beijing or fly directly from Lhasa to Beijing. We recommend allowing at least four full days to explore Beijing before your onward journey.

    Should you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to ensure you have a wonderful and smooth trip.

    Lhasa Weather in November

    We are traveling to Lhasa from Kathmandu at the end of November (via air, not overland). What can we expect for weather in Lhasa? Just wondering what the temperatures will be like (day and night) and whether we can expect snow.

    Mr. Kalsang Rinchen from Tibet Horizon, answered on September 27th, 2023

    Dear Mayr, thank you for reaching out with your travel plans. We’re delighted to assist you with your journey from Kathmandu to Lhasa.

    At the end of November, you can expect the weather in Lhasa to be quite cold. Daytime temperatures typically range from 5°C to 10°C (41°F to 50°F), while nighttime temperatures can drop significantly, often falling to around -5°C to -10°C (23°F to 14°F). Snow is possible, especially in the higher elevations around Lhasa, but significant snowfall in the city itself is less common. It’s always best to be prepared for cold weather with warm clothing, including layers, a good quality coat, gloves, and a hat.

    Chance of Seeing Kailash and Manasarovar in August

    Hi, I am planning to visit Kailash Mansarovar in early August. How is the typical visibility of Mount Kailash during this time of the year? I want to know if my chances of seeing Mt. Kailash from Mansarovar Lake at this time of the year is good or not.

    Mr. Tsering Wangdue from Tibet Horizon, answered on June 7th, 2024

    Dear Neri, thank you for your inquiry regarding your upcoming trip. We appreciate your interest and are delighted to assist you.

    In early August, the visibility of Mount Kailash from Mansarovar Lake can be quite variable. This period falls within the monsoon season in the region, which typically spans from late June to early September. During the monsoon season, the area often experiences heavy rainfall, cloud cover, and fog. Consequently, these weather conditions can significantly impact the visibility of Mount Kailash.

    While clear days are possible, there is a significant chance of overcast skies and rain, which may obscure the view. It's important to be prepared for changing weather conditions and to have some flexibility in your schedule to maximize your chances of witnessing the mountain's beauty.

  • Mr. Verma from India, asked on December 21st, 2023

    Age Limit for Kailash Manasarovar Yatra

    I wonder if there is a formal age limit for Kailash Manasarovar Yatra for Indian pilgrims. One of the members in our group is 74 years.
    I have two related questions:
    1. Is there an age limit for issuing the chinese visa for Manasarovar- Kailash Yatra
    2. Is there a separate age limit imposed by chinese officials or tour organisers for the Kailash Parikrama alone.
    Thank you for your help.

    Mr. Tenzin Jamphel from Tibet Horizon, answered on December 21st, 2023

    Dear Verma, thank you for reaching out with your inquiry regarding the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra.

    Typically, there isn't a formal age limit for issuing a Chinese visa for the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra. However, visa approval is contingent upon meeting certain health and safety requirements, given the challenging nature of the journey. It's advisable for elderly pilgrims to undergo thorough medical examinations and obtain a fitness certificate from a qualified doctor.

    For the Kailash Parikrama, Chinese officials and tour organizers often impose age and health restrictions due to the high altitude and physical demands of the trek. Generally, those over the age of 70 may be subject to additional scrutiny and might be advised against participating in the Parikrama, depending on their health status. It's crucial for anyone attempting the Parikrama to be in excellent health, regardless of age.

    If you have any further questions or need more information, please feel free to contact us. We're here to help and ensure you have a safe and memorable journey.

    Mr. Tseten Namgyal from Tibet Horizon, answered on January 21st, 2024

    Dear Berg, thank you for reaching out with your question.

    Regarding the Saga Dawa Festival in 2024, it takes place in May 16, 2024 and will last for a month, coinciding with the full moon. During this festival, various religious activities, such as circumambulating sacred sites, prayer rituals, and cultural performances, are held to commemorate the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha.

    If your trip falls during the Saga Dawa Festival, we can certainly arrange for you to participate in the festivities. Our tour guides are knowledgeable about local events and can help facilitate your involvement in the celebrations.

    However, if your visit does not align with the Saga Dawa Festival, there are still plenty of other popular festivals in Tibet that you can experience. For example, Losar (Tibetan New Year), Shoton Festival (Yogurt Festival), and Tibetan Horse Racing Festival are among the most significant ones. These festivals often feature vibrant ceremonies, traditional dances, horse racing, and other cultural performances.

    Tibet Trek Preparations

    Hi there, I'm wondering if there's any special gear or equipment I need to bring for trekking to Mount Everest and Mount Kailash. It's going to be my first trekking trip in Tibet, and I've heard that many people experience altitude sickness there, so I want to be extra prepared for any unexpected situations.

    Mr. Tsering Wangdue from Tibet Horizon, answered on December 25th, 2023

    Dear Claus, thank you for reaching out with your question.

    When it comes to equipment for trekking, it's generally recommended to bring along appropriate gear such as sturdy hiking boots, waterproof clothing, layers for changing weather conditions, a good quality backpack, trekking poles for stability, and a first aid kit. While some basic equipment may be available for rent in Lhasa or provided by the travel agency, it's often more convenient and reliable to bring your own gear. However, if you have specific preferences or limitations, feel free to let us know, and we can assist you accordingly.

    As for dealing with altitude sickness during the trek, it's essential to acclimatize properly by taking your time to ascend gradually and staying well-hydrated. If you start experiencing symptoms such as headaches, nausea, or dizziness, it's essential to rest, hydrate, and avoid strenuous activity. In severe cases, descending to lower altitudes may be necessary. Our guides are trained to recognize and assist with altitude sickness, so don't hesitate to communicate any concerns or symptoms you may have during the trek.

    If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable trekking experience.
