    This tour was fantastic! Time flew by, and I didn’t even realize it had ended. Our guide, Lobsang, was friendly and knowledgeable, teaching us a ton about fascinating Tibetan culture. The driver was enthusiastic, and everything ran smoothly. The altitude sickness was kinda annoying, but their crew took excellent care of me, and I recovered quickly. Highly recommend!

    My trip to Lhasa was absolutely unreal! Our driver, Dorje, was highly skilled. Our guide, Jigme, was like a walking storybook, making every temple and street feel alive. The Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple? Mind-blowing. So much history, and so much beauty—I couldn’t stop taking pictures! The momo dumplings were to die for, but yak butter tea? Let’s just say it’s... an acquired taste, haha. Lhasa is pure magic, and I’m already dreaming about going back.

    I spent four unforgettable days in Lhasa, Tibet. Thank you for all the services you provided me. The hotel we stayed at in downtown Lhasa was quite comfortable and had a Tibetan style. The facilities were complete, and the service was attentive. Additionally, it was conveniently located near the attractions, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lhasa. In Lhasa, I encountered many devout monks and pilgrims. Their faith left a deep impression on me and helped me gain a deeper understanding of the charm of Tibetan Buddhism. My favorite part was relaxing in the teahouses and drinking butter tea, which was incredibly relaxing and enjoyable. The weather in Lhasa was also fantastic, and the shade under the trees was very refreshing. I am very satisfied with this trip. Thank you! Terry

      We can apply for your Tibet Travel Permit with the copy of your passport and China Visa. It takes about 12 days. May I know if you have a China Visa?

    • Great Tibet TourOperatorWritten April 2025

      Please do not mention Tibet(Lhasa) during your China Visa application. If you mention that you would travel to Tibet during your stay in China, China Embassy would require you to present Tibet Tourism Bureau Permit.
