    Lhasa Rich in Culture: A Perfect Destination for Family Trip

    This 3-day family trip in Lhasa is wonderful. With so many historical and cultural sites, Lhasa is rich in cultural atmosphere. My family and I were impressed by the solemn Potala Palace. The architecture is stunning, with myriads of artifacts stored in it. Jokhang Temple is another site showcasing the profound Buddhist culture. In Barkhor Street, we felt the local customs and tasted local snacks. Overall, our Tibet tour is short yet enriching. Thank you, Tibet Horizon and our guide Karma for your arrangements. This will be our lifetime memory.

    Tibet Family Tour Accomodation

    Hi! My family plans to travel to Tibet in the second half of this year. What about the accommodation in Tibet? Can you arrange a family room for us?

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

    Dear Davis. I’m glad to hear that you and your family are visiting Tibet this year.

    Major Tibetan cities like Lhasa, Shigatse and Nyingchi offer varied accommodation choices ranging from 5-star luxury resorts to 3-star hotels and cozy guestrooms. In some remote areas like Everest Base Camp and Kailash Manasarovar area, only comfortable guestrooms or tents are available. And of course, we can arrange a family room or an inter-connecting room for you if you required.

    If you have any further questions or need assistance with your travel preparations, please feel free to contact us.
