    So, I just got back from this trip, and it was truly an experience. Yamdrok Lake was stunning, serene, and had unreal turquoise water. Watching the sunrise at Everest Base Camp was a major moment and definitely a highlight. Durbar Square in Kathmandu was vibrant, with many temples and activities to soak in. The hike to Tiger’s Nest in Bhutan was challenging, but the view from the top was worthwhile. The guides were excellent, always ready with information and quick to assist. The hotels were comfortable, the food was delicious, and the trip ran smoothly overall. I had a couple of minor issues, but the team resolved them quickly. I’d say it was worth every penny.

    Pam

    Asked on January 16th, 2025

    What is the difference on this tour between the 3 star and 4 star accommodation (ie. Lhasa)? Would the group be at different hotels, or differing room levels within the same hotel?

    Accommodation
    • Great Tibet TourOperatorWritten January 2025

      Usually, we arrange the 3*: Gang-Gyan Hotel Lhasa or similar class; and 4*: Thangka Hotel or similar in Lhasa. Usually, they are different 3* and 4* hotels.

      TravelerWritten February 2024

      Is it also possible in April? I would arrive in Kathmandu first, from the end of the tour, the flight back to kathmandu is also included? So what would be the total cost for a single traveler?

    • Great Tibet TourOperatorWritten February 2024

      We don't have a confirmed departure date in April. But you can join 7 days group tour on April 17 in Tibet. We can arrange a Kathmandu & Bhutan private tour after 7 days Tibet tour. The 13 days tour starts from Lhasa, then Kathmandu overland from Lhasa and ends in Bhutan. The tour cost includes the transfer from the Gyirong border to Kathmandu by Jeep.
