The most popular Tibet small group tour is the 8-day Lhasa to Everest Base Camp Tour, which includes one night stay at the base camp so that you can enjoy the stunning sunset and sunrise from the top of the world.
The 15-day Kailash and Manasarovar tour is also the first choice for Indian pilgrims so does those who like trekking in Tibet. It is a challenge to take a 3-day kora around the sacred Mount Kailash.
The overland trip from Lhasa to Kathmandu (or vice versa) is an epic adventure across the Himalayas and is always the best choice for those who plan to visit Tibet and Nepal together.

-
Can I book the hotel in Tibet for myself if I join the small group tour?
Of course, you can. And you’d better tell your accommodation arrangement to our travel consultant to ensure seamless tour planning. A small tip for you, traveling in the off-season of Tibet tour in winter(late Oct to mid-Fed)can save you lots of money for the hotel. And in some cases, you can even spend less money to stay in a 5-star hotel in Lhasa.
However, one thing to remind you, the more remote places you travel like EBC or Mt. Kailash, the less likely you can book the hotel or guest online. So, our professional service can save you from lots of trouble.
-
I’m a solo traveler, do I have to pay the single supplement?
Actually, it depends. When a solo traveler uses a twin bedroom and is not willing to share the room, usually the single supplement will incur. If you agree to share the room with another traveler (same or opposite sex) in the tour group, then you don’t have to pay for it. Our travel consultants will help you arrange the accommodation.
