Can I customize my tour?
Yes, you can.

How do I enter Tibet from Nepal?
There are two ways to enter Tibet from Nepal. You can either drive in from the Nepal-Tibet border at Kerung, which is one of the best ways for acclimatization as we drive to Lhasa. The second option is to take a flight to Lhasa.
Is it safe to fly into Lhasa directly? Do I have to worry about altitude sickness?
Yes, it is safe to fly into Lhasa directly. However, some people may experience altitude sickness due to the significant altitude variation from 1300 meters in Kathmandu to 3600 meters in Lhasa. To prevent sickness, we take necessary precautions and advise our clients not to consume alcoholic beverages a few days before their flight or drive and to drink plenty of water. Additionally, we provide Acetazolamide (Diamox) 24 hours prior to your travel and throughout the trip. It is important to consult your doctor before taking such medication. Furthermore, we carry handy oxygen cylinders throughout the trip to mitigate altitude sickness.
How is the weather in Tibet?
Due to the country’s expansive terrain at high elevations, the climate tends to be quite unpredictable. Most of the time, it is cold, with Lhasa and its surroundings experiencing cool and bright days. However, evenings, nights, and mornings can be quite chilly, so it is advisable to bring warm clothing.
When is the best time to travel to Lhasa?
The most ideal time to travel is from August to September, although April to November is also a good period to visit.
Does Tibet have its own currency?
No, the unit of currency is the Chinese Yuan. All foreign currencies can be exchanged at banks, and you can also exchange some in Kathmandu.
Are there ATMs in Tibet?
Yes, ATMs are easily available in major towns like Lhasa and Shigatse. However, they may be more difficult to find in smaller towns.
Are specific nationalities barred from obtaining a visa to Tibet?
Not really. If you are not involved in politics and remain a tourist who stays with their tour, you will not encounter any issues.
