Tibet Travel Guidelines for Group Tours
Joining a licensed group tour is the smartest way to enjoy your Tibet tour, and our travel agency offers one-stop services to arrange all your accommodations, transportation, itinerary, guide and driver services, and so on.
Health Check: A Must Before You Go
Before you embark on this incredible journey, it's crucial to make sure you're in good health. No one wants to deal with health issues while exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Tibet. So, before you sign up for a group tour, ensure you don't have any conditions that might make high-altitude travel risky, like infectious diseases, cardiovascular issues, or respiratory problems. Trust me, it's better to be safe than sorry. If you've got the green light from your doctor, fantastic! But if you've got any doubts, it's best to hold off. And remember, once you're in Tibet, take it easy. Start taking medications like Rhodiola or Gao Yuan An at least 15 days before your trip, just to be on the safe side. Your body will thank you later.
Sticking to the Plan: The Key to a Smooth Trip
Once you're in Tibet, it's important to stick to the plan. Your guide is there to make sure everything runs smoothly, so listen up! They'll let you know when and where to meet, how long you'll be at each stop, and when it's time to move on. For example, when visiting the iconic Potala Palace, your guide will tell you exactly where and when to meet. Be there on time—you don't want to hold everyone up. And unless there's a good reason, like a health issue, don't go off on your own or change the schedule. If you decide to leave the tour early, you'll need to sign a form. Also, keep in mind that if you end up sharing a room and your roommate doesn't show, you might have to pay extra for a single room. And hey, if you're a foreign traveler, your tour will be specially arranged for international guests. You can't join a tour meant for Chinese tourists.
Respect the Culture: It's the Right Thing to Do
When you're in Tibet, you're not just a tourist—you're a guest. And being a good guest means respecting the local culture, traditions, and religious beliefs. Your guide will fill you in on all the dos and don'ts, so pay attention. For instance, when you're taking photos, be mindful of local rules and customs. Some places, like temples and sky burial sites, are off-limits for photography. It's all about showing respect and understanding. Embrace the local way of life, and you'll have a richer, more meaningful experience.
Free Time: Safety First
After a long day of sightseeing, you'll have some free time to explore on your own. But remember, safety comes first. Stick to well-populated areas and avoid wandering off alone, especially to remote spots. If you feel unwell or run into any trouble, reach out to your guide right away. They're there to help, and it's always better to be cautious.
Protecting Tibet's Beauty: A Responsibility for All
Tibet is a place of stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. It's our job to keep it that way. That means no littering and staying out of areas that are off-limits. Let's all do our part to preserve this incredible place for future generations.
Conclusion

Research our services, check the itinerary, and look into the accommodation standards. With us, you're guaranteed a safe, enjoyable, and authentic Tibetan experience. We can't wait to explore Tibet with you!

plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April
Hi! I would like to plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April (3rd to 10th ideally) to Nepal, Tibet, and, if possible, Bhutan. Do you think it would be doable? Based on what I read, there are some places/things to do to consider: Nepal: Everest Base Camp trek and the Annapurna Circuit, ancient temples, sacred sites like Lumbini, Kathmandu, Tibet: The Potala Palace in Lhasa and the Jokhang Temple. eventually the holy Mount Kailash or the high-altitude plains. Bhutan: Thimphu, Paro, and the famous Tiger’s Nest Monastery. To take part in cultural traditions, yoga, meditation... Of course I am open to any recommendations you could make. For your reference, we are both based in Asia: him, in Bangkok and myself in Macau. Thank you so much for the information you could provide and, if possible, an estimated budget for your offer.
