Tibet Trekking Tour Faqs

  • 1. What is the best time to trek in Tibet?

    The best time to join a Tibet trekking 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 hiking in the mountain paths and enjoying the stunning views of plateau landscapes. In summer, though the temperature is higher, the rainy weather may result in worse road conditions. In winter, the weather is extremely cold and the road may be covered by thick snow.

  • 2. Is Tibet Trekking Tour safe?

    Yes, Tibet trekking tour is safe. We have experienced local guides who will follow your condition and can deal with altitude sickness and unexpected problems during trekking. Also, our packages allow you to spend the first few days visiting attractions in Tibet on a slow path. This will give you enough time to acclimate to the high altitude before starting your Tibet trekking.

  • 3. What permits are needed to join a Tibet trekking tour?

    To join a trek in Tibet, visitors 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: Travelers visiting military-sensitive areas such as Mount Kailash, Lake Manasarovar, Guge Kingdom Ruins, 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 (Tibet) 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 Tibet trekking tour.

  • 4. What about the accommodation during Tibet trekking tours?

    Lhasa, Shigatse, Darchen and other major cities and counties offer more diverse options from 3-to 5-star hotels to local guesthouses. For small group travelers, you will be staying at designated 3-or 4-star hotels. If you want better accommodation, you can book luxury hotels by making up the price differences. Private travelers can choose according to your standards. In some remote areas during trekking like Everest Base Camp, Mount Kailash, and Youpa Village, there may be no luxury hotels but only cozy guestrooms or tents.

  • 5. What to eat during Tibet trekking tours?

    We have handpicked restaurants with food safety guarantees for our travelers. You can enjoy unique Tibetan, Nepali and Sichuan cuisines along the way. Specialties include yak hotpot, sweet tea, butter tea, roasted pig, tsampa, barley wine, stone pot chicken and spicy diced chicken. Nepali dishes feature chicken masala and various curries. You can also find Indian dishes and Western-style dishes in Tibet. If you have any special dietary requirements, please keep our guides informed and they will help you check food composition when you order dishes. Also, it’s recommended to bring some food for replenishing energy when trekking. We can also hire a cook to serve you delicious food during the trek.

  • 6. How to deal with possible altitude sickness when trekking in Tibet?

    Hiking on the Tibet Plateau with an average altitude of over 4,000 meters, it’s common for some tourists to experience altitude sickness during trekking. 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. Follow our guides to visit Lhasa landmarks before trek and avoid 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.

  • 7. What is the physical requirement for Tibet trekking tours?

    The difficulty level may vary depending on different Tibet trekking routes. Tibet trekking tours with an easy to moderate level are suitable for all travelers, including seniors, as long as they are physically abled. Tibet trekking tours with a hard to strenuous level are suitable for those with higher physical fitness and hiking experience. It’s essential to get a physical exam and ask your doctor for advice before deciding to do a Tibet trekking tour.

  • 8. What to pack for Tibet trekking tours?

    It depends on the duration of your trek. For a 1- or 2-day trek, it’s recommended to travel light. The basics should still be included, such as a down jacket, a windbreaker and sneakers, gloves, hat, sunglasses, and sun cream. Don't forget a thermos and snacks to stay hydrated and energetic. You can also prepare some medications like band-aids, glucose, and Ibuprofen. For 3, 4 or more days of trek, it is essential to carry enough clothing and food. If you are camping, you need to carry a sleeping bag or tent.

  • Mr. Becker from Germany, asked on June 2nd, 2024

    Travel to Samye from Kathmandu

    Hi! I’m planning to visit Tibet from Kathmandu with Samye included in my itinerary. Is that possible?

    Mr. Ihakpa Tsering from Tibet Horizon, answered on June 2nd, 2024

    Dear Ben, we’re glad to hear that you’re considering a Tibet trip. Your desired itinerary is absolutely possible. You can either travel overland to Tibet or take a flight to Lhasa from Kathmandu.

    If you travel overland to Tibet via Gyirong Port, you can choose to visit Mount Kailash, Lake Manasarovar, and EBC on your way to Samye Monastery in Shannan. Taking a flight to Lhasa is a faster choice. From Lhasa, it takes around 2 hours to get to the monastery by road, which lies 121 kilometers from the Tibetan capital.

    Please feel free to contact us if you have other questions or need assistance in planning your Tibet tour. Our professional travel consultants can give you suggestions according to your preferences.

  • Mr. Ivanov from Russia, asked on March 9th, 2024

    EBC Trek Difficulty Level

    What’s the road conditions like? Is it very challenging for amateurs?

    Mr. Kalsang Rinchen from Tibet Horizon, answered on March 9th, 2024

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

    The trekking route from Old Tingri to Rongbuk Monastery and Everest Base Camp is well-maintained. Most of the roads are flat and in good condition. This 70km-long trekking route takes 4 days to cover, with altitudes ranging from around 4,000m to 5,200m. The daily trekking distance is from 12 to 22km. The trek does not require professional skills. Many tourists of different age ranges and physical conditions have completed it, so it won’t be too challenging. It’s suitable for amateurs to enjoy a trekking experience in Tibet.

    If you have further questions or need a detailed quotation list, feel free to contact us.

  • Mrs. Ananich from Belarus, asked on June 20th, 2024

    Horse Rental at Mt. Kailash

    Hello! Can I ride a donkey, yak, or horse to do the kora around Mt. Kailash?

    Mr. Passang Norbu from Tibet Horizon, answered on June 20th, 2024

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

    You can hire a horse to ride in Darchen and a donkey to carry your luggage. There are many locals providing this service near hotels in Darchen and we can arrange this for you. If you have further questions, feel free to contact us! We hope you can get a smooth and enriching Kailash journey.

  • Mr. Cian from Ireland, asked on January 15th, 2024

    Accomodation Environment in Tents

    Hi, can anyone tell me about the bed inside the camp at EBC or any other places in Tibet, like at the Namtso lake area also. Are the bed clean and warm enough for the cold weather?

    Mr. Kalsang Younten from Tibet Horizon, answered on January 15th, 2024

    Dear Cian, thank you for reaching out with your inquiry about the accommodations at EBC and other places in Tibet. We appreciate your interest and are happy to assist you.

    At Everest Base Camp, accommodations typically consist of tent camps or basic guesthouses. The beds in these camps are generally clean, and extra blankets are often provided to help keep you warm in the cold weather. Despite the efforts to ensure comfort, temperatures can drop significantly, especially at night. Therefore, it is highly recommended to bring your own sleeping bag that is rated for cold temperatures to ensure additional warmth.

    In other areas of Tibet, such as around Namtso Lake, the accommodation options also include basic guesthouses and traditional tents. These accommodations strive to offer clean beds and sufficient blankets to combat the cold. However, due to the high altitudes and cold climate, it's advisable to be prepared for chilly nights.

    We strive to ensure our guests have a pleasant and comfortable stay during their journey. If you have any further questions or need assistance with planning your trip, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help and look forward to assisting you with your travel plans.

  • Miss Lakatos from Hungary, asked on October 17th, 2023

    Garma Valley Trek Suitable for Beginners?

    I've read about the 15 Days Tibet Garma Valley Trekking Group Tour on your website and am very interested in it. My boyfriend and I are both trekking enthusiasts, but I am still a beginner. I am concerned that trekking for such a long time at high altitudes in Tibet might be too challenging for me. Is this tour suitable for beginners, or are there other routes that might be more appropriate for my level?

    Mr. Tenzin Jamphel from Tibet Horizon, answered on October 17th, 2023

    Dear Lakatos, thank you for reaching out with your inquiry about the 15 Days Tibet Garma Valley Trekking Group Tour. We appreciate your interest and are happy to assist you.

    Given that you are a beginner and concerned about the challenges of high-altitude trekking for such an extended period, it is important to consider the difficulty level of this tour. The Garma Valley Trek is known for its stunning landscapes and rewarding experiences, but it can be quite demanding due to the high altitudes and long trekking days.

    For beginners, we recommend starting with a less strenuous route to acclimate to the high altitude and build your trekking experience. There are several other trekking routes in Tibet that are more suitable for beginners, offering breathtaking views and cultural experiences without the same level of physical exertion.

    If you provide us with more information about your preferences and experience level, we can recommend routes that better match your needs. These alternatives will still enable you to enjoy Tibet's stunning scenery and cultural highlights while ensuring a more comfortable and enjoyable trekking experience. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further assistance.

  • Mr. Edwards from Canada, asked on June 15th, 2024

    Advice on coping with plateau reaction

    My friend and I will be travelling to Tibet next month and doing some trekking. How should we cope with altitude sickness during trekking in Tibet, what are the emergency measures and essential medicines to carry?

    Mr. Kalsang Younten from Tibet Horizon, answered on June 16th, 2024

    Dear Edwards, Thank you for your question!

    During trekking in Tibet, ways to cope with plateau reactions include gradually acclimatizing to the altitude, maintaining adequate rest, hydrating, eating sensibly, and avoiding strenuous exercise. If you experience symptoms of plateau reaction (e.g. headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, etc.), you should stop ascending immediately and move to a place of lower altitude to rest. You can carry medicines such as Hongjintian. During your journey, our guides will pay attention to your physical condition throughout and provide necessary assistance.

    If you have any further question, please feel free to contact us!

  • Mrs. Lee from Malaysia , asked on May 26th, 2023

    Dear Lee, thank you for your inquiry!

    Yes, hiking equipment rental is available in major Tibetan cities (such as Lhasa) and at some trekking starting points. You can rent necessary gear such as tents, sleeping bags, warm clothing, and trekking poles.
