We have a good time in Tibet. We appreciate the service and arrangement provided by Great Tibet Tour. Our guide Tashi is an excellent guide. His spoken-English is very good. We can understand him easily. He also has a good experience of Tibetan culture and Buddhism. Our driver Passing is also a skilled driver. I would like to recommend this travel agency to my friends who would like to travel to Tibet in the future.

What our customers ask about Tibet Tours for Solo Travelers
What's the typical group size for Tibet tours?
Tibet group tours generally include 8-16 travelers which creates a balance between personal attention and social dynamics. Trips to Everest Base Camp keep numbers between 8-12 people due to limited rooms at the Tingri Qomolangma Hotel. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Our group of 10 was perfect - small enough to get to know everyone but big enough to always find someone to chat with or share meals with."
What accommodation arrangements are typical for solo travelers in Tibet?
Solo travelers can expect 3-4 star hotels in major cities such as the Xinding Hotel in Lhasa and Shiga Yangcha Grand Hotel in Shigatse. Remote locations near Everest Base Camp offer simpler guest houses with shared spaces. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The accommodations exceeded all our expectations especially in Lhasa where the hotels were perfect for socializing with other travelers in the evening after tours."
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to join Tibet tours?
May through October brings the most group tours and chances to meet fellow travelers. The weather supports outdoor exploration at sites like Yamdrok Lake and Potala Palace. April and November offer similar conditions with fewer tourists. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Visiting in June was perfect - the weather was great for outdoor activities and there were plenty of other solo travelers on the tours."
Which areas of Tibet are most solo traveler-friendly?
The heart of Lhasa around Barkhor Street and Jokhang Temple draws many tour groups making it easy to connect with others. Popular spots like the Potala Palace and Sera Monastery naturally bring travelers together. One TourRadar reviewer shared: "Walking through Barkhor Street and exploring the ancient monasteries offered great opportunities to connect with both locals and other solo travelers."
What is the typical single supplement cost for Tibet tours?
Single room charges range from 200-400 USD on standard 5-7 day tours based on hotel quality. Tours to Lhasa and Yamdrok Lake often let solo travelers share rooms to avoid extra costs. Upscale properties like the Tangka Hotel in Lhasa charge more for single rooms than guesthouses in smaller towns such as Shigatse.
How much free time do solo travelers get during guided Tibet tours?
Tours mix guided activities with independent time particularly in Lhasa where evenings often include 2-3 free hours to explore Barkhor or rest. The 5-day Lhasa Cultural Experience features open afternoons for personal interests or group activities. As one traveler noted: "I appreciated having free evenings in Lhasa to explore the local restaurants with new friends from the tour."
Do I need to be particularly fit for a Tibet tour as a solo traveler?
Basic fitness helps manage the altitude and places like Potala Palace with its 432 steps. Tours to Jokhang Temple and Yamdrok Lake move at a comfortable pace for altitude adjustment. A TourRadar review states: "The guides were very considerate of different fitness levels in our group ensuring everyone could enjoy the experience at their own pace."
