• 4. What is the best time to join a Tibet luxury tour?

  The best time to join a Tibet luxury tour is generally from April to June and from September to October. During these months, the weather is relatively stable, with clear skies, mild temperatures and less rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying the stunning views of plateau landscapes and splendid cultural heritages. In summer, the weather may be rainy, but the temperature is higher and tourists can witness the celebration of Shoton Festival. In winter, the weather is cold but tourists can enjoy a lower cost of transportation and accommodation and feel less crowded as there are fewer tourists. Also, Losar, the Tibetan New Year, often falls in February or March.

• 5. How Much Does the Luxury Tibet Tour Cost?

  The cost of a luxury tour in Tibet can vary widely depending on several factors, including the length of the tour, the level of luxury, the accommodations, the mode of transportation, and the activities included. Longer tours, high-end hotels with luxury amenities, vehicles such as SUVs or 4WDs with experienced drivers, gourmet dining, personalized itineraries, private guides, and exclusive access to cultural and festival events may increase the price.

  Given these factors, a luxury Tibet tour can range from a few thousand dollars per person for a basic package to tens of thousands for a fully customized, top-tier experience. Don’t hesitate to contact us and tell our expert consultants your preferences and needs. Our travel consultants will work with you to get a detailed itinerary and offer you a reasonable tour quotation.

• 7. How to deal with possible altitude sickness when traveling in Tibet?

  Traveling on the Tibet Plateau with an average altitude of over 4,000 meters, 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. The itineraries of our Tibet luxury tours are hassle-free, taking you to the landmarks and villages within and around Lhasa and allowing you to explore the stunning sites and cultural splendors on a slow path.

  If you feel uncomfortable, 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.
