When you think about Tibet, all it reminds you of are those beautiful, snow-covered peaks, sprawling grasslands, vast valleys, turquoise lakes, and the serene beauty all around.  If you are in the process of booking yourself a tour to Tibet, one of the first and foremost aspects to look for is the important places to visit.

While it may not be humanly possible to visit everything at one go, there are always ways in which you can club in all point of interest, if you are wise enough to plan it carefully.  Now, as to the top places of interest in a Tibet local tour, there are several depending upon your personal choice.

The city of Lhasa is the first point which every tour operator in that area will suggest, since this is where it all begins, at least to the cultural point of view. The city of Lhasa is the capital of Tibet and is at 3700 meters high above the sea level. While the altitude is definitely a point of great interest to the trekkers and climbers, the city has some great and popular places of interest to visit.

The Potala Palace and the Jokhang temple, as well as the Norbulingka, are some of the favorite attractions. Although, what makes it even more special is the fact that it remains a pathway into the myriad of attractions that Tibet has in store for a traveler.

Most of the Tibet local tours start with Lhasa as the starting point, and from there to many monasteries such as the Shigatse and Dzong monasteries. There are also some very high-altitude lakes which are not only crystal clear but present a serene and spiritual experience to those who visit the place.

Some of the notable lakes of Tibet are the Pangong Tso, Yamdrok and the Namtso lakes. The Pangong Lake is one of the remotest lakes, even in the Tibetan point of view, located to the fur western part of Tibet, bordered to Ladhak and takes a longer time to reach. You can come across some of the rarest migratory birds in its proximity.

The Yamdrok lake camps are extremely beautiful among the tourists and the Tibet local tour organizers have several tours and treks to them. Although the lakes on the photographs that you see on websites might look quite similar, the views from them are entirely breathtaking and unique.

Apart from the lakes, the best part of any Tibet tour is the view of the snow-covered peaks and mountains. There are no words to describe the first minute you set your eyes on any one of those peaks. And, if you think the peaks are just snow-covered mountains, you will be offending your local tour guide for sure. For the Tibetans, each peak represents something highly spiritual and life-giving. Each peak has unique and enchanting names, such as the Noejing Kangsang mountain and the Kurla Gagri. And each of them is thought about and worshiped with reverence. All these quaint and endearing practices and the cultural uniqueness of the place itself is an experience that one can have on a Tibet local tour.

And, if you are still up for a challenge, you can always visit the Mount Everest base camp to have a firsthand view of the peak that has many adventurers and mountaineers pant about. The base camp tours are aimed at providing some insights into the lives of the mountaineers and the way they work at reaching the peak.

There are a lot more to Tibet than just peaks and valleys, as we mentioned before. It presents itself differently to every individual depending upon their interests and requirements. So, book yourself the best Tibet local tour from the list of packaged tours available to have a once in a lifetime experience!

So, the next time you plan to visit Tibet, find the best tour operator to book a suitable Tibet tour package to have an exceptional experience!

The trip to the Everest base camp is something that many take every year, either by treks or by guided tours on road. The Tibet base camp tour is aimed at helping you to reach the ‘base camp’ for the visitors where you get to see the equipment used by the real-time hikers. Not only just that, but you get to actually see the Mount Everest in its full glory too.

Not only are the base camp tours aimed at giving you a sneak preview of the peak itself and the lives of mountaineers, but the tour also helps you experience that high altitude air. With the final destination at 5000 meters, it is as high as you can reach, without making that actual climb. And, hence, you need to be all prepared and ready to make the climb all the more exciting and enchanting, sans any difficulties that usually comes with a climb that high.

So, in order to prepare yourself for the climb, you need to start quite early. For one, you need to ensure that you have all permits and licenses ready to take the trip into the base of the highest peak of the world. Permits and licenses are usually obtained through the local Tibetan travel agent. Alternatively, the tour operators who arrange for such Tibet Everest base camp tours can also help you with the permit to make it easier for you to travel without any worries to start your trek. It takes roughly a week or 10 days for the permits to come through. There are special permissions and different permits of a different set of climbs or treks. Enquire before applying, or approach a local tour operator to make it simpler and easier.

The next step is to understand what kind of gear or equipment is required for the climb. Nowadays, there are very good roads available from several points in Tibet to the Everest base camp. All you need to do is to book a Tibet Everest base camp tour with a travel agent to enjoy a drive through the good road that connects the camp to cities like Shigatse. However, that does not mean you just reach these cities and travel along the path laid out, straight into the base camp.

When you arrive at the city of Lhasa from the airport, the travel agencies help you to acclimatize yourself to the high altitude before embarking on the trip. While it might look easier, many have complained of dizziness and headache when they are subjected to sudden altitude change. So, the more you spend exploring Lhasa or other major attractions along the way, the easier it would be to soak in the feeling of joy you experience at the Everest base camp.

Again, if you have booked yourself on the Tibet Everest Base camp tour, you will have the extreme fun exploring several enchanting views along the way. From the monasteries of Tibet to the mountains and the lakes such as the Yamdrok, there are sights galore to enjoy and soak in their beauty.

This long trip or detour to the Everest base camp will not only help your body to acclimatize with the high altitude air but also will provide you immense delight too. The entrancing world of beautiful peaks and valleys and lakes thrown in will make the trek to the Everest base camp interesting and keep you at the edge of your seats in anticipation.  The stays and food are taken care of, by the local tour guides, therefore making it easier for you to enjoy the delights rather than thinking mundane thoughts.

The end of the Tibet Everest base camp tour is definitely a sight worth experiencing once in a lifetime. When you reach the destination, the first view of the Mt Everest in all its glory will make you awestruck and speechless with wonder and delight!

As in any country across the world, a person traveling to Tibet would require a Tibet tour permit. The entry and road permits to travel across Tibet work much the same way as in any other country, and have different kind of permits depending upon the reason for your travel. First and foremost, you need to remember that tour permits take some time to process and get delivered to the traveler or the applicant. So, in case you are planning on a trip to Tibet for whatever reason, either to go on a packaged trip or a tour or climb the Everest through Tibet, you need to avail the Tibet travel permit. The Tibet travel permit to Tibet for a normal standard Tibet tour takes around 15 days to process all the necessary Tibet travel permit and the Tibet travel permit for a restrict area Tibet tour takes 25-30 days finish all the necessary Tibet travel permits. So, keeping a time frame of around 20-30 days before traveling to Tibet is the best possible ways to ensure you have your permit in hand long before you start traveling to Tibet. To make your Tibet travel permit, you need to provide a valid passport and china visa copies, the travel agencies and tour operators in Tibet will not book your trip packages unless you provide them all. At the same time, you also need to provide them an exact travel date to Tibet and with a final confirmed Tibet tour program before processing Tibet travel permit. Hence, a permit is the first thing to apply for and can be done through the Tibet tourism bureau. However, the permit will also ask for details such as the tour date, your itinerary and the tour operator detail too. An identity is a mandatory document to travel even when the permit has come through. Now, there are certain areas which are restricted and come with different permit requirements. The restricted areas or tours include: • Mount Kailash tour • Eastern Tibet tour • Kham trekking and some more These tours might need you to make more than one permit. You need to also get permission from the foreign affairs office and Military Lhasa head office and so on, before you are allowed to travel to Tibet on these permits and to these restricted areas. For the unrestricted areas, such as the Shigatse, Lhasa city and so on, Tibet entry permit, road permit and alien’s permits are required. There is a list of restricted tours and the required permits for these areas are always better to check with your local Travel agent. Alternatively, you can also approach a tour operator who is going to organize the tour within Tibet to arrange the permit for you or help you with the forms. A local tour operator, with an experience of arranging such travel permits and treks across the country, will be aware of what needs to be filled where and what permits are required. Even for restricted travels, there are different government offices to approach and a local tour operator will have access to them all. Also, since they will be arranging the treks and tours for you when you are in the country, it will make it easier for them to arrange all permits necessary for your travels. There are two entries to Tibet, one from mainland China, where you need to show the Tibet tour permit at the boarding gate, and so you would need the permit in hand when you board the flight from mainland China to Tibet. The entry through Nepal will allow you to travel through the country and the permit can be shown at the entry gate of Tibet, where your tour guide will be waiting for you but you need to apply the China visa from the Chinese embassy in Kathmandu and will get group visa to enter Tibet and nowadays, you need to wait for three working days in Kathmandu for the visa so you need to think well before deciding to come to Tibet from Kathmandu as you need to wait for a pretty long time there for the visa. Whichever way you prefer, the Tibet tour permit is a mandatory requirement and needs to be obtained well before you start your travel to this beautiful country. Plan your applications well in advance or let the tour operators do the job for you to enjoy a stress-free trip to the rooftop of the world!

Are you planning on a trekking holiday to Tibet? Then its time you contact the best Tibet Trekking agency to book your tour!

When it comes to Tibet, just one visit is not enough to cover up the whole country and its plethora of beauties and marvels. The snow-covered peaks, the sprawling and mysterious mountains, the crystal-clear lakes and the enchanting valleys, all offer a great treat to any visitor, first time or otherwise. The monasteries, the beautiful smiles from wrinkled faces hardened with harsh weather and the traditional cuisines all make a traveler want to visit the country again and again to unravel its mystery. The famous treks, from the Mt Kailash trek and the Everest base camp trek all, offer innumerable opportunities for the adventurists in you!

Thankfully for travel enthusiasts like us, there are many local Tibet trekking agencies which offer many tour packages. These packages are designed keeping in mind the fact that every traveler is different, and their interests are completely varied. Not everyone wants to just lie around and wonder at the lull presented by the scenic beauty of the landscape. And not all travelers are trekking enthusiasts or adventurists too. Each to his own and the travel agencies in Tibet realize this very well and have designed trekking packages for everyone to enjoy.

There are, for an instant, cultural treks offered by Tibet Trekking agencies. These treks are designed exclusively to visit the places that offer an insight into cultural and traditional practices of Tibet. The Potala Palace, Jokang temple, the Thangka painting factory and so on, come under these treks. While the whole trip is done walking down on the mountainous terrains, the local guides who accompany the trekkers have enough supply of food and medicines for any eventualities. From Pubuchok Monastery to Pabongka temple, Norbu Lingka, and many more places of cultural significance are visited in such treks to make it a worthwhile experience.

The Tibet Trekking agencies also offer a very different kind of trek to the mountains, such as the treks across the terrains to visit glories of nature, including the lakes. From the Yamdrok lake to the great nomadic valley and the Lasar la pass, the nature exploration trek takes you across various landscapes of Tibet. If you love nature, such nature treks can offer what none another can, and with the local guides, you will not miss any view or any valley of importance along the way.

The adventurous treks towards the Everest base camp or to the Gangkar mountain range and the hiking trips across the Kangshung valley, all can feed on to the adventurous spirit in you, full time! Even at that high altitude and the air so rare, you will enjoy these pre-organized treks arranged by the Tibet trekking agencies.

The thought behind such treks is that every visitor comes with a different travel perspective, and not everyone is happy about visiting Everest or monasteries. Hence, the trek camps and tours are arranged in such a way that you get to choose from a varied list of availabilities. This presents you with an opportunity to travel and see what you love the most, and not just what is on offer.

Tibet, although a small country, still has several wonders to offer, and each one is better than the next. So, if you are worried about missing out on any of the marvels the country has on offer, book a tour with the Tibet trekking agency to ensure you take back a lifetime of memories on each trip to the country.

When it comes to traveling to an unknown country and that too, places like the snow kingdom of Tibet, the local tour agencies are the best bet to explore the place.

The Tibet trip packages that the local agencies offers are well-researched and completely segregated according to the interests of the varied travelers that visit the place. However, that is not the only reason or reasons why we need to look into local agencies to provide us with a packaged trip to explore Tibet.

One of the primary reasons, according to many seasoned travelers, is that a local agency is most preferable because they know the best places to visit and stay too. When you are operating from Tibet, you and your employees are all locals who know the cultural and traditional practices of people in the country. They are actually an integral part of the community, and therefore, are connected to several other business communities, including restaurants and hotels where you stay.

When this is the case, you also end up staying at some of the best places because the tour agencies have their own reputation to consider, and therefore, offer the best hotels to stay. Also, the cost incurred can considerably be reduced because the local tour agencies will have considerable discounts offered to them as locals.

Now, if you are planning on selecting a Tibet trip package from a local agency, the chances are that you end up visiting the choicest of places and staying in premium hotels. Most of these trip packages include a well-organized trip which is designed for a select group of people.

There are adventure trips for those who want to enjoy the challenge the landscape presents and cultural treks to the beautiful monasteries strewn around Tibet. All these trips require careful planning, coordination, and a higher level of reconnaissance before the trip begins. There is also safety and security of travelers to consider when they are traveling along the mountains.

As a local agency organizing the trip, the trip organizers will know where or when to stop, how to tackle a difficult climb or even employ localities in that place when required. Medical aids, suitable packaged food and water, and many such things are arranged with the help of the natives, and only a local agency can make this successful.

A foreign tour guide, how much ever experienced they are, will have to eventually depend upon the local agencies to plan their Tibet trip package. This, in turn, will not only increase the package cost but also may lead to confusions and arrangement problems along the way.

That is why the local tour agencies are much-preferred option to travel, not just in Tibet, but anywhere around the world. It is more so in Tibet, because of the challenges it poses to a visitor, including the altitude, language, culture, food options and many more.

However, remember that there are several tour operators who offer the best packages in Tibet. Pick one which gives you what you require- a personalized tour of Tibet within your budget.

So, the next time you are planning on a trip to Tibet, do not forget to contact the best local tour agencies to book your customized Tibet Trip package. It will not only be cost-effective but also be completely worthwhile and remarkable!

If you are planning to visit a country, what is the best way you would choose to explore the place?

While exploring any new country is best done on foot, some of the places, such as Tibet present quite a challenge when done unguided. The Tibet small group tours, therefore, are a great way to enjoy a trip to the Roof of the world and all that it has on offer.

Even though many of us may not be comfortable with traveling in groups or occupying couches and buses with complete strangers, the small group tours are the best bet in a place like Tibet. Below-mentioned is some of the advantages of exploring the country with Tibet small group tours.

Explore the Unexplored with Group tours:

Yes, this is one of the reasons why many who travel to Tibet take up on what the tour operators have on offer. Instead of going to a snow-covered and completely impossible terrain of a country, people prefer to travel with a group to ensure they visit all the places that are there to explore. How do we know which monastery offers the best traditional and cultural view of Tibet or where to go for some beautiful artifacts of the country? Or, even how to reach the Everest base camp without putting up too much stress and strain along the way? The Tibet small group tours, therefore, are best bet for those uninitiated to the pleasures of the place. Moreover, nowadays, the tour cost of Tibet becomes higher and higher because of the expenses and living standard of the locals have been improved a lot and all the expenses have been increased so it is a smart way to join a small group tour in order to share your cost with other people for the same trip.

Safety and Security along the way:

Although Tibet is safe and sound for any traveler and the people are friendlier than any, there are safety concerns due to the kind of landscape the country offers, showing all your travel documents including your passport and Tibet permits to the security checkpoint during your trip. The tour operators who organize the small group tours are well aware of these concerns and carry with them sufficient permit and passport photo copies to give to the checkpoint on the way, medications and other essentials to cover up for any eventualities. The safety and security become a concern when you are in such a country which is covered with glaciers and mountains all around. Even if Mother Nature is at its docile best, there are times when a brewing storm or rain can play havoc on our nerves. A guided and small group tour, therefore, can offer safety and security that our own personalized exploration might not possess.

Traveling with like-minded People:

Most of these Tibet small group tours are organized according to preferences. There are cultural trips, adventure tours and treks and explorations of nature to choose from when it comes to small group tours. Hence, it is easier to end up with like-minded people who can also form a great connect on such tours. These tours are also a great way to connect to people from across borders and geographical boundaries and form new friendships along the way.

Visit places you always wanted, with suitable guides:

Enjoy the Tibet small group tours and visit places that you always wanted to visit when in Tibet. The guides who come on these tours are mostly local Tibetians with enough knowledge about the customs and places to ensure you learn a lot from these travels. With guides in hand, you can also bargain on the prices for souvenirs you take back home or enjoy scrumptious local delights without the fear of eating something you do not quite know.

Cost-effective and budget-friendly:

One of the most possible reasons that people pick small group tours is because they can come within your budget range. The tour operators pick out Tibet small group tours and offer them at different price ranges. You can pick one such tour or trek which will not only tickle your interest but also fit within your budget. Such tours, therefore, can help you save money on the travel, and at the same time, satisfy your quest for traveling a new country such as Tibet.

So, with such a plethora of benefits to consider, the Tibet small group tours are best ways to explore the beautiful Himalayan country. Book one such tour to ensure you take back a basket full of memories to cherish and revisit whenever your mind seeks solace and peace!

There is no place more enchanting or endearing than Tibet, the land of the Llamas, and snow peaks and beautiful monasteries of the world. The Tibet Guided tours and the world of enchanting opportunities it brings is something that remains forever etched in the minds of people who have already visited the place.

And for the uninitiated, you are missing out something extremely precious, and very difficult to explain. There are adventure, mystery, fun, spirituality, history and many more to enjoy in this place aptly called the rooftop of the world. A guided tour, however, is the only way to ensure you do not miss out on anything precious or enchanting unless you have visited the place several times in the past.

Even for a seasoned traveler to Tibet, there are areas and towns which are just not accessible or simply unexplored, unless taken on a Tibet guided tour. The reason behind this is that the country itself is endowed with different landscapes and surfaces every kilometer or less along the way. The country, located and secluded from the prying eyes in the confines of Himalayas, has held avid interest among the traveler’s world over due to its location and culture.

Even those who have visited Tibet many times in the past have found something new every time they have visited the country. This is the reason why there is not one or two but a myriad of different Tibet guided tours to make any trip indelible. Each tourist is different, and so is the experience they are offered on these guided tours.

For the adventurers, for instance, there are the Everest base camp treks and the base camp tour through the rugged Tibetian landscapes. And for those who are spiritually inclined, there is nothing like the Mt Kailash pilgrimage tour to connect with the higher one. There is one guided tour for everyone, and each one offers the best of what the country has to offer.

The Tibet cultural tour, for instance, takes you through the traditional and cultural sights of interest. So, when you embark on such a guided tour, the trip operator will take you to the innumerable monasteries and temples across the terrains and landscapes. All these trips are accompanied by suitable tour guides who speak the local language and English to ensure your path is well laid out and any difficulties that may arise is ironed out easily.

Apart from this, if you are a nature lover, and are enchanted with the varied landscapes, fauna, and flora, you can go on a trek through Tibetan plateau. One such guided tour will help you explore the marvels of nature, the sources where river originates or the place where mountains meet ranges and so on.

Each of these guided tours, therefore, are planned and executed to give the traveler what they seek, instead of a pre-determined path to show. No two tours, even if they end up in the same place or start at the same place, are the same. Each of them is designed to ensure a particular group of people enjoy it to the fullest. From adventurers to nature lovers and spiritual guides, there is one tour that can please each one of them.

So, why opt for a Tibet guided tour when you can go to these places on your own? Well, there are several remarkable reasons, and here are some of them.

• Guided tours come with a pre-planned set of sights to see and pre-determined days, making it easier to plan a trip
• A guided tour may be a cheaper option when it comes to visiting multiple sites in a lesser number of days
• A guided tour is also a safer way to explore Tibet, what with guides and experts and even the locals to help you with any eventualities \
• A guided tour comes with an expert guide who will know more about the history and significance of a place. This will help you to learn many things about the country you visit.
• A guided tour can be booked well in advance, and all things such as stay and food to internal travels are all arranged to make your trip stress-free and enjoyable.
• Most importantly, a guided tour is essential in Tibet as you need to pass many checkpoints and security places when you visit some places or scenic spots so without a guided tour, you can not do the sightseeing on your own.

Book a Tibet guided tour today to make the trip an experience of a lifetime!

Tibet, with its very high altitude and the snow-covered peaks, remains something of a mystery to many of us low-landers across the world. It is not just the mountains or the snow that earmark Tibet as something quite enchanting, and yet unreachable, but the myriad of other things such as language, cultural differences and many more.

So, if you are planning a trip to Tibet or at least thinking about visiting the roof-top of the world, then it is the time you know what to expect or how to prepare for it in advance.

Visa and Travel Permits:

Ok, unless you are from China or Nepal, you need to apply for a Chinese Group Visa, which allows you permission to enter Tibet, from the Chinese side. Here again, plan it quite well in advance to ensure you are not restricted or not permitted due to the time-limits applicable for processing a Visa application. Check the websites and relevant information brochures to make sure that you have the Visa to enter this enchanting country long before the day of travel.

The ticket bookings and the travel bookings through tour operators can only be done when you have the visa in hand. So, this is your first step into the enthralling world of snow peaks and llamas!

Alternatively, if you are coming through Nepal, you can always apply for your Chinese group visa in the Kathmandu Chinese Embassy. Keep this option only if you have suddenly taken into your head to visit the Himalayan Kingdom.

Medical Checks and certificates:

While you do not need a certificate to prove your medical condition, Tibet may be well-above in altitude than the normal mountains your country has on offer. What this means is that acclimatizing yourself to such high altitude might take time. Air is rarer and much heavier, and therefore, requires your lungs and every part of the body to be in a fit condition to travel.

Mostly, the tour operators in Tibet give you a complete list of how or what to do when planning a trip to Tibet. However, having a medical done can give a clean chit to travel to this beautiful kingdom.

Fixing a perfect travel partner:

Now, here is where the whole process of planning a trip to Tibet comes into the picture. Tibet is a country that is not always touched by the modern amenities or the new-age technology that we have on offer. It is so high in altitude that many parts remain still inaccessible to technologies or the comforts it has on offer.

So, what this means is that you need a guide or a tour operator who can take you along to ensure you are well on the pre-determined path. A good tour operator, operating from Tibet itself, and comes with experience can only guide you through those mysterious pathways to help you explore Nature’s marvels. Hence, fixing up the best tour operator in place should be a mandatory and first priority. There are several tours on offer, and you will get to choose the best one when you come in contact with the tour operators.

Clothes and Travel Essentials:

When it comes to high altitude terrains, you need to be all the more careful about what you carry or how much you carry along with you. The clothes, baggage, shoes, and many such essentials need to be listed out and carefully planned well in advance. While you might get food supplies in the remote place of Tibet, you might not be lucky enough to get medicines or other essentials so it is always recommended to get these things in Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet before you travel to the remote area of Tibet.

Again here, if you have fixed a tour operator to take you along their treks, you will be given enough warning and maybe a list of supplies and clothes to carry. Why not remain alert and ready with or without the list or warnings?

Check out the climate, the clothing requirements and anything else that you might need to have a safe trip to Tibet. A bit of careful planning and preparedness can make the whole experience pleasant and enjoyable.

So, if you are planning a trip to Tibet anytime soon, make a checklist to ensure you have a remarkable experience all over!
