Budget Tips for a Journey from Nepal to Tibet

From Nepal to the Tibet Autonomous Region, it is a real journey that requires crossing the Himalayas. This kind of trips seems quite costly. In fact, it is not much different from the prices of other travel packages in Tibet. Here are some ways that you can control the cost of traveling.

Select an Affordable Tibet Group Tour Package     

In terms of the number of days, I strongly recommend that choose an intermediate one, such as 7 to 8 days. This way, the trip won't be rushed and the package price can be kept within an acceptable range at the same time. At present, there are only two types of Tibet tour models. One is the group tour, where one tour guide and one driver lead no more than 12 tourists in a small group. Throughout the entire trip, you and your group members can be partners or even friends, traveling together by car between various scenic spots. Another type is the private customized tour, where you enjoy the service of both the tour guide and the driver all by yourself. However, since the latter is much more expensive than the former, budget-friendly options are always group tours. On the market, a diverse range of Tibet travel packages is available. While comparing prices from multiple sources, it is also necessary to be cautious of low-price traps.

Opt for the Economy Package Over Comfort

Our travel agency offers two options for each Tibet group travel package: one is the economy type and the other is the comfort type. We do this merely because the hotel budgets of different tourists vary. Frankly speaking, the two packages only differ in terms of hotel prices and quality, while all other available travel services are exactly the same. The hotels provided in the Economy Package are all around three-star hotels, which can fully meet the basic travel needs. 24-hour hot water, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, clean beds and modern facilities are all configurations. Speaking of the Comfort Package, it provides 4-star hotels that all come with oxygen systems. Restful nights and easier breathing guaranteed. Overall, the price difference between the Economy Package and the Comfort Package ranges from several hundred yuan. If you don't have a strong need for an oxygen-supplied room, the former is more than sufficient and money-saving.

Make the Most of Our Travel Agency's Transportation Service to Pick You up from Kathmandu to Tibet

You'll never believe how fast you can fly from Kathmandu to Lhasa: no more than 2 hours. Before you start searching for air tickets, let me tell you a cruel fact: There are only about three flights per week, and even in economy class, it costs several hundred dollars. It is currently the peak tourist season, and the one-way economy class ticket price has already started at 400 dollars. To be honest, you are able to travel across the border from Kathmandu to Tibet without spending a penny on transportation. The 8 Days Kathmandu to Lhasa Overland with EBC Tour provided by our travel agency includes land transportation services to pick you up from Kathmandu to the customs port and then into Tibet. Kathmandu is only over 100 kilometers away from the border crossing between Nepal and China. You can arrive on the same day you set off, and the next day will be the perfect time to start your Tibet tour.

Choose to travel from November to February

Between November and February, traveling to Nepal or Tibet reveals a special period that favors both destinations equally. First of all, from the perspective of Nepal, this period of time is the completely dry season, which fully guarantees that your trekking itinerary will not be disturbed by the rainy season. Now let's shift our perspective to Tibet. The lowest point of the annual travel package prices occurs during this period.

Lock in the Limited Discount Slots Several Months in Advance

Let me tell you a secret. Sometimes, our travel agency will follow the official tourism policies and offer a free service to upgrade economy travel packages to comfort travel packages. The number of such packages is very limited. Besides, our travel agency will also actively offer discounts to both new and old customers, and from time to time release some discounted prices, but only to tourists who make reservations in advance. After all, opportunities favor those who are well-prepared!
