关于西藏之旅的最常见问题
What Are the Top Attractions You Must Visit for a Tibet Tour?
Radiating from Lhasa, the best-known attractions are mainly
scattered from Lhasa to Everest Base Camp. As the spiritual heart of Tibet, Lhasa is
peppered with Buddhist architectural wonders. Hike the iconic Potala Palace; join
the kora around holy Barkhor Street and visit the life-sized statue of 12-year-old
Buddha in Jokhang Temple.
What’s more? The “Great Three Gelugpa Monasteries”, i.e.
Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery ,and Ganden Monastery will offer you perfect
chances to explore monastic life and mystery of Tibetan Buddhism.
Besides, to meditate or stroll the serene lakes in Tibet,
never miss the chance to visit tranquil Namtso Lake (around 250km from Lhasa). The
world’s highest saline lake will make your day.
If you come to Tibet for the Mt.Everest, then Everest Base
Camp should be your ultimate destination. Traveling from Lhasa to EBC, you will pass
turquoise Yamdrok Lake and massive Karola Glacier. While making a stopover at
Gyantse, you will hike the Nepali-style Kumbum stupa in Palcho Monastery.
As the journey continues, you will tour the legendary
Tashilunpo Monastery in Shigatse, and later enjoy the panorama of Himalayan Range at
renowned Gawu La Pass (5198m) and explore Rongbuk Monastery, the world’s highest
Buddhist site at EBC.
How Many Days Are Needed for Touring Tibet?
Well, the answer depends on what your interest is and where
you want to visit and what activities you intend to do in Tibet.
For the classic Tibet tour in Lhasa, normally 4 days are
needed. If you want to visit heavenly Namtso Lake, an additional 2 days are required
for the long drive. To experience the most popular Lhasa to EBC tour, 8 days are the
right formula. With 3 days spent in Lhasa for sightseeing and acclimatization, on
Day 4 and Day 5 you will finish the visit at EBC and later travel back to Lhasa.
What is the Minimal Cost for a Tibet Tour?
The cost for Tibet tour varies greatly from tour season,
No. of travelers, and personal preference as to hotel, dining and guide services,
etc. So, for the minimal cost for 4-day Lhasa small group tour alone with 3-star
accommodation is from $460 in the winter season. However, due to your personal
expense for dining and souvenir, etc. and cost for flight and Chinese Visa and
flight, etc. the total cost can be much more.
Yet, join in our
small group
tours remains the best choice you because you can team up with a bunch of
global tourists to share the tour cost.

What is the Best Time to Tour Tibet?
Tibet can be visited all year round except for late Feb to
March. Traditionally, April to early June and Sept to Oct are two of the best time
frame for touring Tibet. Free from the influence of monsoon season with mild weather
and fantastic visibility, it’s the prime time for all outdoor activities in Tibet.
If you are a student and travel on a shoestring, then
visiting Tibet from Nov to mid-Feb (off-season of Tibet tour) will save you lots of
money. Besides, the less crowded attractions and intense Buddhist atmosphere and
lively migratory birds, the cheaper hotel will make you feel like traveling in
heaven.
For cultural explorers, touring Tibet during major
religious festivals like Saga Festival (May or June) and Shoton Festival (August)
and Tsongkhapa Butter Lamp Festival (Dec) and Tibetan New Year ( Feb) would be your
most
ideal time for Tibet
tour.
Should I Travel by Flight or Tibet Train to Lhasa?
Well, so long as you are not pressed for time, traveling to
Lhasa by
Tibet train is definitely the best option. It’s
a lot more cost-effective, punctual and much better for you to get acclimatized to
altitude ascent than traveling by flight.
In addition, the incredible window view from Golumd to
Lhasa from Tibet train will give you a real sense of traveling on the road than
flight. Highly recommended.
How to Prevent Acute Altitude Sickness When Touring Tibet?
Firstly, all travelers may respond physically to the
altitude change 2-3hrs later after they land in Lhasa. Symptoms like higher pulse
rate, shortness of breath and dizziness, slight headache, etc. are pretty common.
Please stay calm.
Never rush to visit attractions; having a good sleep at
your hotel really helps you avoid acute altitude sickness. Meanwhile, drink plenty
of water to stay hydrated.
As you plan your Tibet tour, try to avoid abrupt (up to
1500m or 2500m) ascent in a single day, which is the key to prevent acute altitude
sickness.
You may travel high in the day time but sleep at lower
places at night. Bring down jacket even in summer as you pass high passes to
minimize the chance to get a cold.
Since all of our Tibet tours are crafted by our Tibet
travel experts and we have ample oxygen supply and first-aid kit like hyperbaric
oxygen chamber at extreme places like EBC and Mt.Kailash, you can enjoy a pleasant
and safe journey in Tibet.
During My Tour, What Food to Eat in Tibet?
As a crucial business hub connecting inland China, Nepal
and India, Lhasa offers foodies a culinary delight you never expect.
Not only can you savor the traditional Tibetan food like
home-made Tsampa, Tibetan momo and dried Yak meat and Tibetan noodles and Tibetan
yogurt, etc., but also treat your taste buds with finger-licking Nepali and Indian
cuisines like yak curry, yak steak, and butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, etc.
No to mention the wide choice of Sichuan dishes and typical western food in the
restaurants around Barkhor Street.
For veggies, there are also a lot of options available in
Lhasa, such as vegetable momos, mushroom masala, etc. If you
join in a small group tour, a special welcome
banquet is also available to you.
As you leave Lhasa to more remote areas in Tibet, the food
tends to be more basic. Egg fried rice, cabbage with rice, and dumplings, noodle
soups, etc. are readily available. All of the restaurants you dine in are
well-choice with food safety guarantee.
What about the Hotel and Accommodation for a Tibet Tour?
Tibet is never a destination for an extravagant hotel
experience. Due to the extreme altitude and inhospitable environment, overall the
hotels and accommodation facilities are somewhat inferior to that of hotels you stay
in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu and Guangzhou, etc. So are the
hotel services compared with that of the western standards.
However, when greeted by lofty peaks and welcoming smile
from our Tibetan guides the moment you get out from your rooms, you realize how
special Tibet is.
Overall, the best hotels available are found in Lhasa. From
budget-friendly 3-star hotel to best-value Tibetan-themed hotels and 5-star St.
Regis Lhasa Resort, etc., there is a wide array of choices that can fit every pocket
and preference.
As you travel beyond Lhasa and Shigatse, esp. to remote
regions like EBC, Mt.Kailash and northern Tibet and border areas close to Nepal, the
lodging facilities and options become to dwindle. The local guesthouses and tents
are a frequent scene. And the sanitation is also not so good. You may bring your
sleeping bag if you intend to visit remote places like EBC or rent one from us.
However, the incredible Himalayan vista and a palpable
sense of holiness you feel will make up all the ordeal. Each year, we keep sampling
and updating the best hotel choices across Tibet for a better travel experience to
our clients. -
