From the moment I joined the trekking group, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by our guide. Our guide, Karma, was not only knowledgeable about the region but also showed genuine care for our well-being throughout the trek. Despite the challenging terrain and unpredictable weather, the landscapes of the Mount Everest left me spellbound. Standing in the presence of Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu, I felt a profound sense of awe and gratitude.

    My experience of the 15-day Tibet journey was absolutely incredible. Right from the start, they were there for me, answering my questions and making sure everything was set for an amazing adventure.

    Arriving in Tibet, I was immediately struck by the passion and dedication of the guide. Our guide, Mr. Kalsang Rinchen, was a true gem. Not only did he lead us on an unforgettable trek through the Mount Everest, but he also shared fascinating insights into the local culture and history.

    Exploring the temples and monasteries in Lhasa was a highlight for me. Each site was filled with so much history and spirituality, and I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of awe and reverence.

    During our trek, there were moments of challenge, like when I faced a bit of altitude sickness. But Mr. Kalsang Rinchen was there, always attentive and quick to help. Thanks to him, I was able to push through and fully enjoy the journey.

    Overall, my time with Tibet Horizon was beyond anything I could have hoped for. Their attention to detail and the expertise of their guides made every moment special. I can't recommend Tibet Horizon enough to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Tibet.

    A Wonderful Journey: From Old Tingri Town to the Everest Base Camp

    My trekking experience in Tibet has been incredibly satisfying and pleasantly surprising. Despite we had made extensive preparations for this trek, I hadn't anticipated experiencing altitude sickness during the initial two days, feeling somewhat under the weather. Thankfully, our guide demonstrated exceptional professionalism in handling such situations, enabling me to quickly acclimate and continue our journey through the Tibetan landscape. As someone who has trekked various terrains, exploring Tibet not only held profound significance but also posed remarkable challenges, yielding even greater rewards. Throughout the journey, I encountered breathtaking landscapes, each leaving an indelible mark on my memory. Among them, spending a night at the Everest Base Camp at 5200 meters stands out prominently. Gazing at the Milky Way from this altitude was a transcendent experience, forging a profound connection with the universe, etching itself as one of the most unforgettable moments of my life. I am immensely grateful to our guide, who exhibited remarkable attentiveness, responsibility, and profound knowledge of Tibet's cultural and natural wonders. It's through his meticulous arrangements that we were able to embark on such a remarkable journey. I am deeply appreciative of his guidance and expertise. If given the opportunity, I would undoubtedly choose Tibet Horizon again. The quality of service, combined with the unparalleled beauty of Tibet, makes it a destination I eagerly anticipate revisiting.

It was a testament to their professionalism and care for our well-being. Additionally, the accommodations booked by the agency were top-notch.

    From the moment we met, it was clear that our guide was dedicated and passionate about his work. When he helped us during the challenging kora around Mount Kailash, he was extremely attentive to everyone’s needs, ensuring we were all well-prepared and motivated to complete the pilgrimage.

    The Potala Palace, with its grand architecture and deep history, left us in awe. At Yamdrok Lake, we were captivated by the crystal-clear blue waters surrounded by majestic mountains. Namtso Lake was equally stunning, with its serene beauty providing a perfect backdrop for reflection and peace. However, the most unforgettable moment of our trip lies in the Saga Dawa Festival. The vibrant atmosphere, filled with colorful flags and chants, was mesmerizing. Witnessing the devotion of the pilgrims and participating in the traditional Tibetan opera at Drepung Monastery was a deeply spiritual experience that enriched our understanding of Tibetan culture and spirituality. None of this would have been possible without the help of our guide.

    As a nature lover, I was blown away by the breathtaking landscapes. The journey started with a delightful stroll down Lhasa's vibrant downtown, visiting the iconic Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple, which were absolutely stunning. The trek around Mt. Kailash was a spiritual and physical highlight for me. The three-day trek was challenging but incredibly rewarding. I met so many friendly locals and fellow travelers who made the experience even more enriching. The scenery at the sacred lakes was out of this world. I spent hours just soaking in the beauty and serenity of these sacred lakes. I love our guide, Tashi, who was knowledgeable and always made sure we were comfortable. His stories about the local culture and history were fascinating. Driving along the G219 Tibet Xinjiang Highway and reaching the edge of the Desert was like stepping into a different world. The hidden gem, a lake of Xinjiang, was another favorite spot where I took some of my best travel photos. I can’t recommend Tibet Horizon enough.

    Journey Through the Heartlands: Kathmandu to Mt. Kailash

    This 19-day journey was simply beyond expectations, filled with surprises and heartfelt moments. Kathmandu's Nepalese culture left a profound impression on me with its rich history and diverse religious beliefs, broadening my horizons. Upon arriving in Lhasa, the grandeur of Potala Palace and the serene atmosphere of Jokhang Palace were awe-inspiring. The breathtaking views of the two lakes were simply breathtaking, offering a tranquility rarely found in urban settings. Exploring the ruins of the Guge Kingdom felt like stepping back in time, unraveling its mysterious history—a truly unique cultural experience. The most unforgettable part was the 3-day trek to Mt. Kailash, despite its challenges, the strong religious atmosphere and magnificent natural landscapes filled me with a sense of strength. This journey made me deeply appreciate the greatness of nature and the diversity of human culture. Highly recommended to all travel enthusiasts.

    Transformative Journey with Tibet Horizon: Kathmandu to Mt. Kailash, Exceptional Service

    This 19-day journey was beyond expectations, made even better by Tibet Horizon's exceptional service. We experienced the rich culture of Kathmandu, the majesty of Potala Palace in Lhasa, and the stunning beauty of the two sacred lakes. Trekking Mt. Kailash were challenging but rewarding, especially with the great support from our guides. The peaceful moments at the lake were the perfect end to the trip. From the moment we arrived in Kathmandu, our guide made us feel at home. He shared fascinating stories about Nepalese culture and went out of his way to recommend hidden gems in the city, like a small temple not usually visited by tourists. Raj’s thoughtful approach really set the tone for the rest of the journey. In Lhasa, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Tibetan history. He managed to secure us a private audience with a monk at a temple for a special blessing ceremony, which was a deeply moving experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a transformative travel experience with excellent service. Tibet Horizon’s attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction made this trip unforgettable.

    Experiencing Tibet: Culture, Mountains, and Monasteries with Tibet Horizon

    The journey from Kathmandu to Tibet was an adventure in itself, and Tibet Horizon made sure every part of it was smooth and enjoyable. The trek around Mt. Kailash was challenging, but our guide was incredibly supportive. On our second trekking day, I was feeling quite exhausted, and Tashi noticed. He took some time to share stories about the local traditions, which really uplifted my spirits. His knowledge and passion for the culture were evident and made the trek even more meaningful. When we explored the ruins of Guge Kingdom, our guide’s enthusiasm brought the ancient history to life, making the ruins much more than just old stones. And our time in Lhasa was equally amazing. We visited several monastery, where we were fortunate enough to witness a lively debating session among the monks. This was arranged by our guide, who knew the perfect time to visit for this unique experience. Tibet Horizon provided an exceptional experience with their well-planned itinerary and outstanding service. A special thanks to our guides for making this trip extraordinary.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
