Essential Things You Need to Know When Signing up for a Tibet Group Tour
Overall, more tourists tend to choose Tibet small group tours, mostly because of their extremely high cost-effectiveness. If it's your first time visiting Tibet, some knowledge about group tours will be very useful.
Group Tours Have Fixed Departure Dates
The frequency of group departures varies among different tourist routes. Generally speaking, the more popular a route is, the more frequently it departs. For instance, the 5-day Lhasa and Yamdrok Lake tour and the 8-day Lhasa-Shigatse-EBC tour usually have a departure every two days. However, the 15-day Lhasa-Shigatse-EBC-Mount Kailash tour will be held approximately once a week, as it requires visits to remote areas.
Group Tours Have a Minimum Number of Tourists Required for Departure
At present, almost all group tours on the market require at least 2 to 4 tourists to sign up before they can depart, except for a 4-day tour in Lhasa which can depart with a minimum of one person.
The Number of Members in a Group Tour Usually Does Not Exceed 12
The standard configuration consists of one tour guide and one driver, with a maximum of no more than 12 tourists per tour vehicle. However, during the Saga Dawa Festival, the number of people in the Mount Kailash group may exceed 12 per vehicle. When there are more than 12 tourists, usually two tour guides will provide services.
The Specifications of Group Tours Are Divided into Economy Type and Comfort Type with the Only Difference Being the Hotel Rooms
When you sign up for a group tour, you will find that for each route, there are both economy type and comfort type for you to choose from. The only difference between these two types lies in the hotel rooms. The economy package is equipped with three-star hotels, while the comfort package is equipped with four-star hotels. There is a slight difference in comfort, and many four-star hotels have oxygen supply rooms. It should be noted that the main difference between hotels lies in the itineraries in Lhasa and Shigatse. However, when it comes to some remote areas, such as those including the Everest Base Camp and Mount Kailash, the same type of guesthouse will be arranged equally.
Every Tourist Should Be Aware of the Existence of Single Room supplements
Whether you choose an economy or a comfortable travel package, the hotel rooms included in the package are all double standard rooms. This means that you need to successfully share a room with your companion or a member of the group to avoid paying the single room supplement. Otherwise, if you stay in a hotel room alone, you will have to pay the supplement.
Tourists Can Specify Hotels But Need to Consider the Specific Circumstances
Tourists can clearly state their hotel requirements when signing up for a tour group. Under the same price range, our travel agency can help arrange as much as possible. However, if the prices of hotels of the same level vary greatly during the same time period, the company will need to charge the additional price difference of the designated hotel. And it is necessary to take into account that the geographical location should not be too far from other members of the group.
Conclusion

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.
