    · June 19th, 2024
    The guide Kunchok was very good. The hotel in Lhase was terrible. Front desk ladies service very unpleasant. The hotel has no air conditioning and I was arranged a room at the south side which was a boiler room. I woke up twice sweating during the night sleep and in the moring with bleexing nose. Complaint but was declined. Had to request the guide to deal the situation and finally received a change room at the north side which was cooler. Very unpleasant experience and first impression was minus towards this hotel in Lhasa.

    How is the Visa process? What do you need and how long in advance? Are there additional Visa costs?

    Visa
    • Tibet VistaOperatorWritten July 2025

      Regarding Tibet entry permits - we've got it all covered! All we'll need from you is a copy of your passport. Since you are from Germany you don't need Chinese visa. We will submit the application of Tibet permit one month in advance, it will be issued around 7-5 days before your travel dates.

      Erin

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      What is the best way to book the train? Could you provide me with the accommodation names?

    • Tibet VistaOperatorWritten July 2025

      The hotel we used is Xining hotel or similar. The hotels are based on double occupancy (twin-bedded rooms) by default. If you prefer a single room or if room sharing isn't possible, a single room supplement is required.

    Annette

    Asked on July 5th, 2024

    Are we able to SEE Mount Everest at any time during the tour. We are not interested in going to the base camp. We are only interested in possibly seeing Mount Everest in the view during the six days.

    Tour Details
    • Tibet VistaOperatorWritten June 2024

      Our 6 Days Tibet Culture Join-in Tour Lhasa Gyantse & Shigatse doesn't include Mt.Everest, so here you have two options if you want to visit Mt.Everest. Option one: you two take 6 Days Lhasa to Everest Private Tour anytime based on your schedule but with much higher cost, Not highly recommended. Option two: you two join our 8 Days Lhasa to Everest Base Camp Group Tour for our currently already-booked date 6th, 10th, 13th, 17th, 20th, 24th, 27th, 29th or 31st Oct, can you join one of these available dates?

      Adriana

      TravelerWritten January 2024

      There is a note "Solo travellers are matched with a fellow guest of the same gender". My question is - will there be a single supplement required at the last minute when you are unable to match a roommate?

    • Tibet VistaOperatorWritten January 2024

      All our group tour cost are based on 3-star hotel double room for every 2 persons to share, as you are a solo traveler, we will try to find another same sex single traveler to share the double room with you to avoid paying for single supplement. But if there is No another same sex single traveler in this group to share the double room with you, single supplement of this tour $126 for you would be required to pay to stay in single room with big bed in the trip but can pay in Lhasa. Because some are a couple, or two friends to share, or some single travelers prefer to pay single supplement to stay in single room themselves. So we can find such single person to share the double room with you but it's not guaranteed(usually 80% of posibilities), so hope you can kindly understand.

    • Tibet VistaOperatorWritten January 2024

      You will get to know if we already found another same sex single traveler to share the double room with you or not usually 5-6 days before the tour starts, because sometimes we found that single person at last one day, this is possible too. Yes, you can see our opening dates for this tour for June, 9th June is one of opening dates of this tour that you can join, it's guaranteed happening. You can join this tour for 2nd, 9th, 13th, 23rd and 30th June, all these dates are available to join, so please choose the tour departure date accordingly based on your schedule, then book the tour.
