    Unforgettable Nepal Tibet Kailash Tour Experience with Outstanding Service

    This eleven-day journey left a deep impression on me. From start to finish, everything was organized impeccably. On the helicopter ride from Kathmandu to Lhasa, I was awestruck by the majestic Himalayas towering beneath us. Seeing Mount Kailash, with its devoted pilgrims circumnavigating it again and again out of sheer faith, was profoundly moving. The pristine blue waters of Lake Manasarovar felt like an otherworldly paradise. What struck me deeply wasn't just the breathtaking landscapes, but also the unique Tibetan culture and history embodied in their customs. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Tibetan culture, sharing fascinating insights throughout the trip, which deepened my understanding and appreciation of this remarkable land. Moreover, our guide was exceptionally attentive to our needs and went out of his way to ensure we had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The kora around Mount Kailash was more challenging than I had anticipated, but our guide's encouragement and care made it manageable. I truly want to extend my gratitude to him—without his support, this incredible journey through Tibet would not have been as wonderful as it was. This tour was a perfect blend of adventure and cultural immersion, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the spiritual and natural wonders of Tibet.

    Endless Manasaovar Lake shew every family different beauty.

    In this picture, people and nature blend into one and express an excellent painting.

    Kathmjandu is so holy.

    A Perfectly Organized and Memorable Journey to Kailash and Manasarovar from Nepal

    Our 11-day journey through Tibet has come to an end, and I am filled with gratitude for our guide, who meticulously arranged everything for us. From picking us up at the airport to seeing us off on the last day, our guide's dedication and care were evident every step of the way. He not only provided us with fascinating insights into Tibetan culture but also ensured that all logistical details were taken care of, allowing us to complete our trip smoothly and safely. The stunning landscapes we encountered were truly remarkable. From the aerial views of the Himalayas during our helicopter ride to the visits to local temples and the breathtaking scenery of Mount Kailash, every moment was awe-inspiring. The weather in September was perfect, making the views of the sacred lake, with its beautiful light reflections under the sun, even more magical. In the end, I am so glad I made the decision to choose Tibet and Tibet Horizon. The collective efforts of their staff created unforgettable memories for me. This trip was a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and natural beauty, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Tour Tips:

Knows before You Book:

1. Travelers to Tibet should have a moderate physical fitness level. Patients with serious hypertension, heart disease, asthma, bronchitis, diabetes, and cold should be restricted from traveling to Tibet.

2. Book at least 20 days in advance so the tour operator may have enough time to apply for and deliver your Tibet Travel Permit. Normally, it takes around 8-9 days to process your Tibet Travel Permit from the Tibet Tourism Bureau and another 3-4 days to deliver your Permit to your address in Chinese mainland.

3. A Tibet train/flight ticket is not included in our tour package. If you book with us, we can help you book your train/flight ticket. The train ticket to Lhasa is normally issued 15-60 days before departure. During peak seasons (from June to mid-October, during the Chinese Spring Festival and other public holidays in China), train tickets may be issued only 1-9 days before departure.

4. Price is based on double occupancy. Solo travelers who prefer to stay in a room by themselves need to pay for the additional charge of single room supplement. Please consult our travel consultants for specific prices.

5. Your airport/train station pick-up and drop-off in Lhasa needed to be arranged by the tour agency as foreign visitors are prohibited from independent traveling.

6. If you plan to travel to Lhasa via Kathmandu, please do not apply for a China L Visa in advance. You need to apply for a Tibet Group Visa from the China Embassy in Kathmandu via a travel agency. If you have your China L Visa, it will automatically expire when applying for a Tibet Group Visa.

4. Travel insurance is provided by The People’s Insurance Company (Group) of China Limited (www.epicc.com.cn), which covers tourist accident risks only in China. Tourists are recommended to purchase additional insurance on their own.

5. Altitude Sickness is a common reaction in the plateau. Common symptoms include fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, headache, etc. Normally such symptoms will disappear in 2 days. You’d better consult your doctor and bring some medicine, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen and nutrient supplements.
