    Captivating Sights in Train Tour Grasped Us a Lot - Chengdu & Lhasa & Everest & Namtso

    Despite the long train ride, opting for soft sleeper tickets allowed us to travel in comfort, and the daytime views of lush grasslands, sparkling lakes, and majestic mountains added an extra layer of enjoyment to the journey, setting the stage for our Tibetan adventure. Once in Tibet, we explored a myriad of captivating sights, each leaving its own unique impression on us. The historic Potala Palace, with its towering presence and rich history, was a breathtaking symbol of Tibetan culture and spirituality. The Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Street offered a glimpse into the bustling heart of Lhasa, where the air was filled with the scent of incense and the sound of prayers. Among the many remarkable destinations, one that left an indelible mark was our visit to Everest Base Camp. Watching the sun set behind the world's tallest peak and witnessing the first light of dawn illuminate its snow-capped summit was a moment of pure awe and wonder. I can't express enough gratitude for the meticulous planning and exceptional service provided. From the initial communication with the staff, who took the time to understand my preferences and tailor the itinerary accordingly, to the knowledgeable and responsible guide who accompanied us throughout the journey, every aspect of the trip was handled with professionalism and care.

    Soft Sleeper Tour from Chengdu to Lhasa, Everest and Namtso

    This twelve-day journey from Chengdu to Lhasa was unlike any other trip I've experienced before. From the moment we stepped onto the Qinghai-Tibet Train, I knew this adventure would be special. Despite the long hours, the soft sleeper accommodations made the journey comfortable, and the scenery outside the window - vast grasslands, pristine lakes, and snow-capped peaks - was simply mesmerizing. What set this trip apart was the exceptional service provided by Tibet Horizon. From the very beginning, they made sure to cater to our needs and preferences, crafting a personalized itinerary that exceeded our expectations. One incident that stands out is when our guide went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience at Everest Base Camp, arranging for a special sunrise viewing that we'll never forget. But it wasn't just the service that made this journey unforgettable; it was also the awe-inspiring landscapes of Tibet. From the majestic Potala Palace to the serene beauty of Namtso Lake, each destination left a lasting impression on me, reminding me of the profound beauty and spirituality of this region. I can't recommend Tibet Horizon enough. Their attention to detail, exceptional service, and dedication to ensuring a memorable experience made this trip one that I'll cherish forever.

    Soul-purify Journey in Tibet: Chengdu, Nyingchi and Lhasa

    Last month, my friends and I flew from Malaysia to China. We had heard about the rich Tibetan culture in China for a long time and how it can purify the soul. Finally, we arrived at this sacred place. We started our journey in Chengdu, where we visited the adorable giant pandas. Then, we flew from Tianfu Airport to the beautiful Nyingchi. In Nyingchi, we savored the stone pot chicken and butter tea in Lulang Forest, experiencing the distinct Tibetan culinary culture. The sunlight shining on the peaks of Mt. Namcha Barwa cast a golden glow on the snow-capped mountains, creating a magnificent scene. In March, the banks of the Niyang River were covered with blooming peach blossoms, creating a serene and refreshing atmosphere. The tranquil beauty of Basum Tso Lake left me feeling relaxed and happy, and we experienced the unique religious culture and natural beauty of Tibet. In Lhasa, we visited the residence of the Dalai Lama and admired the vastness of Barkhor Street along with the customs of the Tibetan people. The turquoise waters of Yamdrok Lake and Namtso Lake reflected the blue sky, creating a stunning picture. We then arrived in Shigatse, which presented a stark contrast to Nyingchi and experienced high-altitude life in Shigatse. This was truly a wonderful trip, and I am grateful that we did not hesitate to embark on it. Of course, all these beautiful experiences were made possible by Tibet Horizon and our tour guide. Thanks to their patience and dedication, we had an amazing experience. I highly recommend choosing them for an extraordinary journey.

    Special Care on Me in Tour of Tibet: Chengdu, Nyingchi and Lhasa

    I'm so happy to have traveled with Tibet Horizon on our journey through Tibet. We experienced a wealth of Tibetan culture, and the literary richness of Buddhism left a deep impression on me. Learning about the religious practices of the devotees, such as their pilgrimages, prayer wheel spinning, and scripture recitation, fostered a newfound love for Buddhist culture in me. During our trip, when we reached the high-altitude region of Shigatse, I suffered from severe altitude sickness. My friends were very worried and at a loss about what to do. Thankfully, our guide from Tibet Horizon, Mr. Kalsang Younten, who was highly professional, explained the precautions for high-altitude areas. He was the first to prepare an oxygen bottle for me. When that didn’t alleviate my condition, he took me to a hospital and stayed with me throughout my treatment. His attentive care and support helped me get through this difficult time safely, and I was deeply moved by his patience and responsibility. In Nyingchi, we admired the lush vegetation along the Niyang River and the serene beauty of Basum Tso Lake. We explored the misty Lulang Forest, bathed in the golden sunlight that illuminated our surroundings. Walking along the shores of Yamdrok Lake, we enjoyed its tranquil and mysterious beauty at dawn and dusk. Our guide, Mr. Kalsang Younten, facilitated our interaction with local herders, giving us insight into their lives and culture. The sapphire-blue waters of Namtso Lake elevated my spirit. Overall, this was an amazing trip, and my friends and I highly recommend choosing Tibet Horizon for an extraordinary travel experience.

    We Made an Incredible Self-driving Tour from Chengdu to Tibet: Nyingchi and Lhasa

    Incredibly, we completed this 11-day self-driving trip to Lhasa. We started from Chengdu, Sichuan, and then headed to western Sichuan. The autumn scenery in Xinduqiao was stunning with its golden poplar trees and fiery red maple leaves, creating a vibrant canvas of colors. The Jinsha River showcased nature's craftsmanship with its magnificent canyons, rugged peaks, and rich biodiversity. The most perilous part was the Seventy-Two Bends. This section of the road had almost no straight lines, consisting entirely of sharp curves and hairpin bends, with steep terrain and narrow paths. Combined with the unpredictable weather of the Tibetan plateau, driving through this segment was a thrilling experience for all of us. After overcoming numerous challenges, we finally arrived in a paradise on earth - Nyingchi, Tibet. The autumnal valleys of Lulang Forest were blanketed with a riot of colorful leaves, creating a picturesque scene. Cattle and sheep grazed leisurely on the golden grasslands of the pastures. At Mount NamchaBarwa, the autumn dawn revealed a breathtaking sight as the sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting a golden glow that intertwined with the snowy peaks. This journey was absolutely worth it. Our self-driving trip allowed us to truly appreciate the wonders of nature. Of course, we encountered many difficulties along the way, such as issues with refueling the car. However, the fact that we successfully reached Lhasa and witnessed so many beautiful landscapes is all thanks to the assistance from Tibet Horizon. They were truly worth choosing and made our trip unforgettable.

    Midui Glacier in autumn is also white and cold.

    This part is called as Seventy-two turns on the Nu River, which is the most thrilling part in the road.

    On the road, we can see many people self-drive on the road.

Whenever we encountered any problems along the journey, they were always there to help us solve them actively. Setting off from the flat plains of Chengdu, we traversed the rugged terrain of western Sichuan, braved the perilous Seventy-Two Bends, and arrived at the beautiful paradise of Nyingchi. The scenic wonders of Lulang Forest, Mount NamchaBarwa, and the Niyang River filled us with a sense of tranquility. Continuing to Lhasa, we were once again captivated by the azure skies and crystal-clear waters of the plateau. We are truly thankful to Tibet Horizon for providing us with such a wonderful experience. I will recommend it to my friends.

    Immersive Cultural Odyssey in Tibet - Ngari & Mount Kailash & Guge Kingdom

    The16-day Tibet journey was a captivating cultural odyssey. Having read about Tibetan traditions, nothing prepared me for the profound impact of experiencing it firsthand. The pilgrimage kora around Mount Kailash was a spiritual revelation, witnessing the devout Tibetan pilgrims engrossed in prayer and reverence left an indelible mark on my soul. The visit to Potala Palace and Guge Kingdom, guided by our knowledgeable companion, deepened my understanding and admiration for Tibetan culture. Each historical relic told a story of resilience and spirituality, enriching my appreciation for this ancient civilization.

    Moreover, Tibet's pristine natural beauty captivated me at every turn. The untouched landscapes felt like stepping into a utopian paradise, while the azure waters of Lake Yamdrok, Manasarovar, and Namtso reflected a purity rarely seen elsewhere. The ethereal experience of witnessing sunrise and sunset at Everest Base Camp, with the Milky Way adorning the night sky, felt like a celestial gift.

    Throughout the sixteen-day journey, Tibet Horizon's meticulous attention to detail ensured a seamless experience. Their thoughtful service, from adjusting the pace of the itinerary to accommodate our needs, to providing enriching cultural insights, made every moment unforgettable. I am deeply grateful for the memories created and wholeheartedly recommend Tibet Horizon to fellow travelers seeking an immersive cultural and natural exploration of Tibet.

    Tibetan Adventure: A Journey to Remember (Mount Kailash + Guge Kingdom + Namtso Lake)

    Back home now, but those sixteen days in Tibet are still fresh in my mind. I can still see the grandeur of the Potala Palace and hear the monks chanting in the temples. And the trek around Mount Kailash is something I'll never forget. The devotion of the local Tibetans left a deep impression on me. And those three sacred lakes are absolutely breathtaking. Each one was like a picture-perfect postcard.

    I'm so glad I chose Tibet Horizon for this trip. Everything was so well-organized, thanks to our amazing guide. He knew everything about Tibetan culture and could answer any question we threw at him. And his English is impressive, to say the least. The hotels he picked were comfortable, and the local food he recommended—like "tsampa" and yak yogurt—was delicious.

    Not Only a Sightseeing Train Tour, But Also a Soul-stirring Exploration in Tibet

    This 12-day journey from Chongqing to Lhasa was not just a trip, but a profound journey through both the landscapes of Tibet and the passages of my own life. As someone who has always harbored a deep fascination with history and culture, visiting the historic wonders of the Potala Palace and the revered Jokhang Temple felt like a dream come true. These sites, steeped in centuries of tradition and spirituality, resonated with me on a personal level, reminding me of the importance of connecting with our roots. However, it was the challenges and triumphs of the journey itself that truly shaped my experience. As a retiree, I initially had concerns about the physical demands of the trip, especially the visit to Everest Base Camp. Yet, with the guidance and support of our dedicated tour guides, I found myself pushing beyond my limits, both physically and emotionally. One particular moment stands out: when, faced with the breathtaking vista of the Himalayas at sunset, I felt a surge of gratitude for the strength and resilience that age had bestowed upon me. This journey was more than just a sightseeing tour; it was a soul-stirring exploration of both external landscapes and internal horizons. I am deeply grateful to Tibet Horizon for crafting an experience that will forever hold a cherished place in my heart.

    Family Ties on Tibet Train Journey - Chongqing, Lhasa, Everest and Namtso

    As a middle-aged traveler, this twelve-day journey from Chongqing to Lhasa with my family was not just an opportunity to explore new destinations, but a chance to create lasting memories together. From the moment we boarded the Qinghai-Tibet Train, I knew this trip would be special. As someone who has always valued family bonds and shared experiences, the prospect of journeying through the stunning landscapes of Tibet with my loved ones filled me with anticipation. Throughout the trip, the service provided was impeccable. From the warm welcome at the train station to the seamless logistics and attentive guides, every detail was taken care of with precision and care. One incident that stands out is when our guide noticed my daughter's fascination with Tibetan culture and arranged for a special visit to a local monastery, making her eyes light up with wonder and delight. But it wasn't just the service that made this journey unforgettable; it was also the incredible sights we encountered along the way. As we stood in awe of the historic Potala Palace and gazed out over the vast expanse of Namtso Lake, I felt a profound sense of gratitude for the opportunity to share these moments with my family. This trip was a testament to the power of travel to strengthen bonds and create lasting memories. I am immensely grateful to the tour company for providing us with such a meaningful and unforgettable experience.

    We Had a Comfortable Trip in Tibet: Nyingchi + Bomi + Lhasa + Shigatse

    After detailed planning with my family, we chose Tibet Horizon Travel Agency to start our journey to Tibet. Initially, we were quite worried, considering it's an unfamiliar and high-risk plateau region. Firstly, we were concerned about whether our bodies could handle the high altitude, and secondly, whether the travel agency could offer us a unique experience. In the past, when traveling to other countries, we often encountered irresponsible travel agencies and guides, sometimes paying in advance only to find no one available later. However, Tibet Horizon was different from other travel agencies for they were truly responsible and made us feel like family from the early preparations to the end of our trip. Our journey began in Chongqing, a famous mountain city where we tried the spicy hotpot—a taste sensation unlike any other. From Chongqing, we flew to Nyingchi, Tibet, where our guide, Mr. Tenzin Jamphel, was waiting for us at the airport and took us to the warm and comfortable Oxygen Hotel. Tibet is truly beautiful and we had never seen such breathtaking scenery before. From the sacred and serene Rakwa Tso to the mountainous landscapes, lakes, and grasslands of Lulang Forest, and the misty peaks of Mt. NamchaBarwa, each sight was a marvel. Standing at the Sejila Mountain Pass, we could take in the entire view of Mt. NamchaBarwa. Barkhor Street, encircling the Jokhang Temple, the majestic Potala Palace atop the mountain, and the azure waters of Yamdrok Lake—all were incredibly beautiful and picturesque. We are thankful to Tibet Horizon for giving us such an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend everyone to give them a try; they are truly a travel agency worth recommending.

    We can see sunset shining the mountain, in Chinese clled as Rizhao Jinsahn.

    In Rakwa Tso, we can visit different sky and water.

    Profound-impact Journey in Tibet: Yamdrok Lake & Nyingchi & Lhasa & Shigatse

    Last winter, my bosom friend and I embarked on an 8-day tour from Chongqing to Nyingchi, Bomi, and Lhasa, which left a profound impact on us both. Largely thanks to the outstanding services provided by the travel agency, and they demonstrated exceptional planning and organization. They handled every aspect of the journey, including flights, accommodations, and transportation, especially the preparation of the Tibet Travel Permit, with remarkable efficiency. Our guide was a treasure trove of knowledge about Tibetan culture, history, and geography, and demonstrated unwavering dedication to our well-being. The Midui Glacier, with its shimmering blue ice formations, offered a glimpse into the raw beauty of Tibet's natural landscapes. Lulang Forest, nestled amidst rolling hills and verdant valleys, provided a tranquil retreat into nature's embrace. Known as one of Tibet's most sacred bodies of water, Yamdrok Lake mesmerized us with its crystalline waters and panoramic vistas. Our tour included visits to the awe-inspiring natural wonders of the Nyingchi region. This tour is highly recommended for anyone seeking to delve into the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of this mesmerizing region. Thank you, Tibet Horizon.

    Tibet Train Journey to Beijing, Xian, Lhasa and EBC

    Embarking on such a twelve-day adventure was an absolute delight for someone like me, who revels in exploring diverse cultures. From the bustling streets of Beijing to the historical marvels of Xian, and finally to the enchanting landscapes of Tibet, each day unfolded like a page from a captivating storybook. Standing atop the Great Wall in Beijing, I was awestruck by the sheer magnitude of human ingenuity that built such a monument. Transitioning to Xian, the silent guardians of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses whispered tales of ancient emperors and their conquests, painting a vivid picture of bygone eras. Yet, it was in Tibet where the journey truly took my breath away. Surrounded by prayer flags fluttering in the thin air, the spiritual ambiance of the Potala Palace embraced us, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of Tibetan Buddhism. The serene Yamdrok Lake mirrored the vastness of the azure skies, while the rugged beauty of the Karola Glacier left me speechless in front of nature's grandeur. Despite the remoteness of our destinations, the tour company ensured that every aspect of our journey was seamless. Our guide are not just knowledgeable but also passionate storytellers, bringing each site to life with colorful anecdotes and historical insights. The skilled drivers maneuvered through challenging terrain with ease, ensuring our safety at every turn.

    I just can't say enough good things about this tour company and how they took care of us during our twelve-day journey across China. The guides weren't just knowledgeable; they were real storytellers, making the ancient wonders of Beijing and the lively streets of Xian's Muslim Quarter come alive. Additionally, as a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised by how considerate they were with the dining arrangements. Every meal was tailored to suit my dietary preferences, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. There was one incident that really showed the level of care they provided. During a tough hike near Everest Base Camp, one of our group members twisted their ankle. Without missing a beat, our guide sprang into action. They coordinated with the driver to get us back to our accommodation swiftly and made sure medical assistance was on hand. What's more, they stayed with us, offering reassurance and support until help arrived. Looking back on the journey, I'm just so grateful for the chance to see China's incredible culture and landscapes up close. From the ancient wonders of Beijing and Xian to the serene beauty of Tibet, every moment felt like discovering a new treasure. This trip has left a lasting impression on me. It's sparked a desire to learn even more about China's history and traditions. I can't wait to come back one day, knowing that with this tour company, every adventure will be truly unforgettable.

    Seamless and Enriching Train Journey from Beijing to Xi'an, Tibet and Shanghai

    Our 11-day journey in Tibet was an eye-opening adventure through the rich tapestry of China's cultural and historical wonders. From the moment we embarked on our leisure city tour in Beijing and Xian, to riding the traditional Chinese train to Tibet, and finally witnessing the vibrant metropolis of Shanghai, every destination left a lasting impression. In Beijing, the grandeur of the Mutianyu Great Wall and the solemnity of the Ming Tombs stood in stark contrast to the bustling energy of Tian'anmen Square and the serene beauty of the Summer Palace. In Xian, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses left us in awe of ancient craftsmanship, while the Tang Bo Art Museum offered a glimpse into China's artistic heritage. Arriving in Lhasa, the historic Potala Palace loomed majestically over the city, serving as a poignant reminder of Tibet's rich cultural heritage. However, it was the tranquil beauty of Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai that left the deepest impression on us. The meticulous design and serene atmosphere provided a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. We are immensely grateful to Tibet Horizon for arranging such a seamless and enriching journey. Our guide's insightful commentary and thoughtful arrangements made every moment memorable. This trip not only deepened our understanding of China's rich history and culture but also left us in awe of the country's ancient civilization.

    Beijing, Xian, Lhasa and Shanghai Train Tour: Vast and Diverse Landscapes

    What a remarkable odyssey it is through the vast and diverse landscapes of China. From the moment we set foot in Beijing, we were captivated by the sheer scale and diversity of this ancient civilization. Each city we visited - from the imperial splendor of Beijing to the ancient wonders of Xian, the spiritual serenity of Lhasa, and the modern metropolis of Shanghai - offered a unique perspective on China's rich cultural heritage. In Beijing, the imposing presence of the Forbidden City and the tranquil beauty of the Summer Palace were a testament to China's imperial past. In Xian, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses stood as silent guardians of history, while the Bell Tower offered panoramic views of the city. Arriving in Lhasa, the vibrant colors and intricate designs of the Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Street captivated our senses, while the peaceful ambiance of the Potala Palace left us humbled by its historical significance. Throughout our journey, our guide's expertise and enthusiasm made our experience truly unforgettable. From sharing fascinating insights into each destination to recommending local delicacies, they ensured that every moment was filled with wonder and discovery. We are grateful for the comfortable accommodations and delicious cuisine arranged by the guide, which allowed us to immerse ourselves fully in the local culture. From sampling traditional Beijing duck to savoring the flavors of Sichuan cuisine in Shanghai, every meal was a culinary adventure. Our journey through China was a testament to the country's rich history, diverse culture, and breathtaking natural beauty. We cannot thank Tibet Horizon enough for their impeccable service and for providing us with the opportunity to explore this incredible country.

    Iconic Tibet Train Tour Covering Beijing, Xi'an, Lhasa, Chongqing and Shanghai

    These two weeks were some of the most fulfilling I've ever had. The fourteen-day tour brought me countless new and exciting experiences. Before this trip, I had only seen glimpses of China through reports or on my phone, but now, thanks to our guide's insightful explanations, I have a much deeper understanding of China's rich history and culture. We visited numerous iconic sites, including the Great Wall, Forbidden City, and the Terracotta Warriors in Beijing and Xian. Each of these sites left me in awe, but the one that impressed me the most was the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Walking through its ancient halls and witnessing the spiritual atmosphere was a truly unforgettable experience. Our guide was always attentive and helpful, ensuring every part of the tour ran smoothly. One instance that stood out was when our guide helped us navigate a complex train transfer with ease, ensuring we were comfortable and informed at every step. The logistics, from accommodations to transportation, were flawlessly managed, making our trip stress-free and enjoyable. This fourteen-day journey was packed with memorable moments. I'm incredibly grateful to Tibet Horizon for their hard work and dedication.

    Eye-opening Experience in Tibet Train Tour - Beijing, Xian, Lhasa, Chongqing, Shanghai

    I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our guide for making these two weeks unforgettable. The guide's meticulous service and friendly demeanor made us feel like we were traveling with a close friend who also happened to be an expert on everything we saw. They constantly checked on our needs and ensured everything was perfect. The accommodations and meals arranged by the guide were fantastic. I got to try some local delicacies, which was a delightful and flavorful experience that matched my tastes perfectly. And the variety and quality of the food were impressive. The sights we encountered were incredibly beautiful. The human-made wonders like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City showcased China's ancient architectural prowess, while natural landscapes like the breathtaking views from the Yangtze River cruise offered a refreshing contrast. One moment that stood out was cruising through the Three Gorges, where the stunning scenery left a lasting impression on me. Each city we visited had its unique charm. Beijing was a blend of ancient history and modern vibrancy, Xian offered a deep dive into China's imperial past, Lhasa provided a spiritual and cultural awakening, and Shanghai presented a glimpse into China's future with its dynamic metropolis feel. This journey helped me gain a much broader understanding of China. Each city had its own distinct character and highlights. Beijing impressed with its historical grandeur, Xian with its archaeological treasures, Lhasa with its spiritual depth, and Shanghai with its modernity and energy. I look forward to exploring even more of this fascinating country in the future. This tour was an eye-opening experience, and I can't wait to return and discover more of China's wonders.

    Epic Journey from Shanghai to Tibet with Captivating Everest Encounter

    We took a grand and epic journey in China. We arrived in Shanghai first, an international metropolitan city. It’s modern and vibrant. Flying to Lhasa, the capital city, offers a different vibe. The way local people live and the landscapes changed completely. We felt the solemnity and tranquility at Potala Palace, Sera Monastery and Drepung Monastery and we appreciated the unparalleled view of Mt. Everest. We stayed in tents for a night to see the Milky Way and sunrise. It’s stunning and I can’t depict it merely through words. Maybe in the future, I’ll come back to China and travel to Tibet again!

    Our journey was a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of Shanghai into the serene beauty of Tibet. As we boarded the Qinghai-Tibet Train, leaving behind the vibrant energy of Shanghai, we were enveloped in a sense of tranquility that only Tibet can offer. The peaceful ambiance of the region, even in bustling Lhasa, provided a refreshing change of pace from the fast-paced city life. Exploring the architectural marvels of Lhasa, from the imposing Potala Palace to the spiritual sanctity of Jokhang Temple and the enlightening debates at Sera Monastery, was a truly enlightening experience. Each site offered a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Tibetan culture, leaving us in awe of its depth and complexity. Beyond Lhasa, our journey took us to the breathtaking shores of Namtso Lake, where the pristine waters mirrored the vast expanse of the sky, creating a scene of unparalleled beauty.

    Ethereal Landscape in Lhasa, Shigatse and Namtso on Tibet Train

    Our 10-day adventure from Shanghai to Tibet was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped off the train into the heart of Lhasa, we were greeted by a landscape that seemed straight out of a dream. The juxtaposition of ancient temples against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains was a sight to behold. Exploring the streets of Lhasa, with their vibrant colors and bustling markets, was a sensory overload in the best possible way. Each corner revealed a new facet of Tibetan culture, from the intricate artwork adorning the walls of the Potala Palace to the melodic chants echoing through the halls of the Jokhang Temple. As we ventured further into the region, visiting iconic sites like Namtso Lake and the base camp of Mount Everest, we were struck by the sheer majesty of nature. The crystal-clear waters of Namtso Lake shimmered under the sun, while the towering peaks of Everest left us breathless with their grandeur. Despite encountering minor altitude sickness along the way, our guide, Mr. Passang Norbu, was quick to respond with care and expertise. From providing oxygen to offering helpful tips for acclimatization, she ensured that our journey remained safe and comfortable throughout. Our trip in Tibet was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the awe-inspiring landscapes to the impeccable service, every aspect of our journey was beyond compare. We are grateful for the memories we made and would highly recommend this agency to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in Tibet.

At Barkhor Street, we enjoyed sweet tea and tasted local snacks like yogurt and tsampa. I love Tibetan cuisine. On the first day at EBC, the weather is not good so we can’t see the amazing sunset.

    Deeper Understanding in Tibet Train Tour - Guangzhou & Lhasa & Everest & Namtso

    I recently completed a 12-day tour and I couldn't be more satisfied. This journey brought me many new and exciting experiences. Thanks to our knowledgeable guide, I gained a deeper understanding of Tibet's culture and history. We visited several iconic sites, including the historic Potala Palace, the traditional home of the Dalai Lama. Walking through its halls, I felt a deep connection to the rich history of this place. The Jokhang Temple was another highlight, where witnessing the devotion of the Tibetan people was truly moving. The most memorable part of the trip was our visit to Everest Base Camp. Seeing Mount Everest up close and experiencing the sunset and sunrise at the base camp was absolutely breathtaking. The majesty of the world's highest peak left me in awe. The company's service was excellent throughout the trip. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly attentive and helpful. When I experienced mild altitude sickness, our guide quickly provided me with an oxygen bottle and useful advice, which helped me recover quickly. The logistics were well-organized, and every detail was taken care of, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. However, the only drawback was the long train journey from Guangzhou to Lhasa. While the views were stunning, the travel time felt increasingly exhausting as we neared Lhasa. Next time, I might choose a closer city to take the train from or opt for a direct flight to Lhasa. In all, it was a fantastic journey, and I am grateful for the effort and care provided by these staff. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Tibet.

    We are in awe by the world's highest peak of Mount Everest.

    In 2020, I learned about traveling to Tibet, but due to some circumstances, I missed the opportunity. Finally, in July of this year, my wife and I arrived in China and embarked on a breathtaking 8-day journey. We flew from Xi'an to Nyingchi, experiencing the beauty of summer in Nyingchi. The Lulang Forest seemed like a vast green ocean, while the mysterious and magnificent Namcha Barwa Peak was shrouded in clouds. We hiked to the foot of the Midui Glacier in Bomê, witnessing the incredible work of nature. From high mountain lakes to dense forests, from clear rivers to mysterious glaciers, every attraction in Nyingchi left us spellbound. At Yamdrok Lake, we saw unique plateau birds such as the black-necked crane and bar-headed goose. The entire journey was truly a beautiful and unforgettable experience. Thank you, Tibet Horizon!

    We Had an Amazing Journey in Tibet: Xi'an & Nyingchi & Bomi & Lhasa

    Flying from Xi'an to Lhasa was truly an amazing choice. My husband and I have always been fascinated by Chinese culture, but we never had the opportunity to visit China until now. This trip allowed us to experience various unique aspects of Chinese culture: the bustling atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty at the Great Tang All Day Mall in Xi'an, and the simplicity and purity of Tibetan culture in Tibet, where the essence of Buddhism touched our souls and purified our hearts. We never imagined we could experience such beauty in China. It was truly spectacular. After flying from Xi'an to Nyingchi, our guide led us on a picnic in the Lulang Forest, where walking through the forest felt like stepping into a fairy tale. Strolling along the winding, flower-filled Niyang River brought a unique sense of peace and relaxation. The sacred Potala Palace left me in awe of ancient wisdom, and the experiences at Barkhor Street and Jokhang Temple provided a different and profound perspective. The Dalai Lama's residence and the deep influence of Buddhist culture deeply moved us. Our guide also took us to a village near Yamdrok Lake, where we enjoyed traditional Tibetan food like butter tea and tsampa, immersing ourselves in the local lifestyle. The blue skies, clear waters, mountains, and rivers created breathtaking scenery. My husband and I took many beautiful photos, which will be our most cherished memories. We are incredibly grateful for choosing Tibet Horizon as our travel agency. Their guides were highly knowledgeable, professional, and patient, explaining every detail of each attraction. We can't wait for our next trip!

    Reflecting on our 10-day journey from Xian to Lhasa, I am filled with a sense of wonder and gratitude. The itinerary crafted by Tibet Horizon allowed us to witness some of the most spectacular landscapes and landmarks in Tibet. From the majestic peaks of Mount Everest to the tranquil shores of Yamdok Lake, each stop on our journey left us in awe of the natural beauty that Tibet has to offer.

As the sun began to set behind the towering peaks, casting a golden glow across the snow-covered landscape, I was overcome with a profound sense of peace and serenity. It was a moment I will never forget, and one that encapsulates the magic of travel. Throughout our journey, our guide, Mr. Tseten Namgyal, played a pivotal role in ensuring that everything ran smoothly. His passion for Tibet's culture and history was evident in his informative commentary, and his friendly demeanor made us feel welcome wherever we went. Whether it was arranging transportation or recommending local eateries, Mr. Tseten Namgyal was always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and ensuring that we had a seamless experience.

Tibet Tour for Expats FAQs

1. How to get to Tibet?

For expats in China, there are mainly three ways to reach Tibet.

By Train: Several cities offer direct trains to Lhasa, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi’an, Lanzhou and Xining. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway, in particular, is a popular choice, offering scenic views of the plateau.

By Flight: Direct flights to Lhasa are available from major cities like Chengdu, Chongqing, and Xining. Chengdu, for example, has the most frequent flights to Lhasa, with the shortest flight time being approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes.

By Road: Overland journeys can be made via the China National Highways G318 from Sichuan, G214 from Yunnan, or G219 from Xinjiang. These routes provide a more immersive experience of the diverse landscapes and cultures along the way.

2. What is the best time to visit Tibet?

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 in Tibet. Also, you can experience the grand Saga Dawa Festival in May. In summer, the weather may be rainy, but tourists can witness the celebration of Shoton Festival. In winter, Tibet is not so cold as you think. You 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.

3. What permits are needed to travel Tibet?

To visit Tibet, foreign 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 want to extend your trip to military-sensitive areas such as Mount Kailash, Lake Manasarovar, etc. or want to travel along the G318 Highway, you need to apply for a Military Area Entry Permit.

Provisional Driving License: Travelers joining a self-driving trip in Tibet need to apply for a provisional driving license.

Our Xizang tour packages include Tibet Travel Permit and all the necessary Tibet travel documents. If you book with us, we’ll help you apply for the permits. You’ll need to provide a copy of a valid passport and Chinese visa and a confirmation to prove your purpose of living in China.

4. Where to stay during the Tibet tours?

Major Tibetan cities like Lhasa, Shigatse, and Nyingchi offer more diverse options from 3-to 5-star hotels to local guesthouses. They provide basic to luxury facilities, all ensuring a comfortable stay. For private travelers, you can choose according to your standards. However, in remote areas like EBC and Mt. Kailash, only cozy tents and guesthouses are available. Hotel rooms during Tibetan festivals may be in high demand. It’s suggested that you book early with us and we can have your room reserved.

5. How long does the Tibet tour take?

The duration of your Tibet tour from Chinese provinces or cities can vary based on your preferred travel mode and the regions you wish to visit. We have varied packages with durations ranging from 3-30 days. For the classic Lhasa-Shigatse-EBC route, the tour typically takes 8 days. If you want an immersive experience or a trek around Mt. Kailash, prepare for at least 10 days. For a shorter duration, you can choose a Lhasa city tour. It’s recommended to take a longer trip for a more in-depth experience if you have enough time. Besides, if you choose to take a train or drive to Tibet, your journey will typically last longer than a flight tour.

6. How much does a Tibet tour cost?

The cost of a Tibet tour depends on several factors, including the length of the tour, the type of accommodation, the mode of transportation, and the specific services included.

7. How to deal with possible altitude sickness?

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, avoiding strenuous activities like running.

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.
