Tibet Horizon Omdömen 8

10-Day Lhasa-Everest Base Camp-Lake Namtso Tour with Tibet Horizon
We recently completed a 10-day tour of Lhasa, Everest Base Camp, and Lake Namtso organized by an agent representing Tibet Horizon (Tibet Tourism). Overall, we had a wonderful time exploring this incredible region. Highlights included witnessing the magnificent Mount Everest from Rongbuk Base Camp and exploring the beautiful Tibetan monasteries and the iconic Potala Palace in Lhasa. Both the driver and tour guides were super friendly and contributed greatly to making the trip comfortable and enjoyable.
However, there are a few areas where the company could improve their planning and organization to enhance the experience for future travellers:
1. Itinerary and Accommodation Information:
We were given a 9-day itinerary instead of the full 10 days, with no mention of the hotels where we would be staying. This lack of clear information caused confusion and delays during immigration in Beijing, as we were unsure about our accommodation details in Lhasa. Despite booking a 10-day tour with 4-star accommodations, we were provided with tent accommodation (without toilet facilities) at Rongbuk Base Camp and only a 3-star hotel near Lake Namtso. We believe customers should be given the exact accommodation details upfront to avoid any surprises.
2. Communication and Agent Responsiveness:
We tried to contact the agent who organized the tour regarding the itinerary and accommodation issues but received no response. Improved communication and timely support from the agent would greatly benefit travellers.
3. Tibet Permit Delivery Process:
The process for receiving the Tibet Travel Permit could be streamlined. We were informed that the original permit must be presented before boarding the flight in Beijing. This required rushing out of Beijing International Airport to obtain the permit before flying to Lhasa. However, no permit checks were conducted until we were traveling within Tibet, and only photocopies of the permit were checked at various points. A clearer and more efficient permit delivery system would reduce stress and make the process smoother.
In conclusion, while we thoroughly enjoyed the natural beauty and cultural richness of Tibet, improving the itinerary transparency, accommodation arrangements, agent communication, and permit handling would significantly enhance the overall travel experience.

I can’t write how happy we were with Tibet Horizon and Asia China Tours. Kalsang from Tibet Horizon planned our entire itinerary, which was Shanghai, Xining, Lhasa, Shigatse, Everest Base Camp, Xian and Beijing. They arranged all the internal flights, train tickets, hotel bookings, transportation, guides in the various cities and all tickets to the various attractions and sights. I would highly recommend them as well as the itinerary they suggested. Things could not have gone more smoothly; all guides were there at the airports to pick us up and ensured that we were checked in to the next travel leg. The guides Sally in Xining, Lobsang in Tibet, Kathy in Xian and Diana in Beijing were great. All of them asked us to contact them at any time in case of any issues and ensured we got what we wanted. The sights in all the cities especially Tibet were fantastic. Also a travel trip insist on staying at the guest house at EBC you will be able to watch sunrise and sunset on Everest with about 50 or so guests without the 100s of day trippers.

For those like me who enjoy experiencing different cultures, Tibet is definitely a place worth visiting. I was amazed to find that in such a modernized world, there are still places that maintain their ethnic uniqueness. The scenery of Namtso Lake is breathtaking: the lake is like a piece of green agate - beautiful and pure. But it's the cultural landscape that captivates me most - the sacred palaces and devout monks, and even the most ordinary people, all possess their own faith. I thoroughly enjoyed my six-day journey in Tibet and am grateful to Tibet Horizon for arranging everything for me.

Our experience with Tibet Horizon exceeded our expectations. They have arranged a great guide for us, who not only provided exceptional service but also went the extra mile to ensure we had an authentic and immersive experience in Tibet. From the delicious meals to the comfortable accommodations and insightful cultural experiences, every aspect of our trip was well-planned and executed. Highly recommend Tibet Horizon to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Tibet!

This was a wonderful Lhasa to Kathmandu overland tour that not only saved us some serious cash but also treated us to some of the most jaw-dropping vistas between Lhasa and Kathmandu. The journey was filled with laughter, adventure, and unforgettable moments, making every mile worth it! Throughout our adventure, our guide was very professional, ensuring our safety and comfort, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature. We weren't just tourists; we were like a group of explorers, creating precious memories together. Thank you, Tibet Horizon, for making our journey so unforgettable!

The eight-day trip to Tibet was truly an unforgettable experience! We visited Lhasa City, Mount Everest, and Yamdrok Lake in the 8 days, each destination leaving us with beautiful memories. Watching the magnificent sunrise and sunset at Everest Base Camp was awe-inspiring, and visiting the Potala Palace felt like a journey through time, experiencing its rich history. The guide was very professional, with a deep understanding of Tibet's history and culture, making the explanations vivid and engaging. The trip was full of surprises and touching moments, and I will cherish the memories forever!

Our Tibetan local drivers are seasoned navigators of the region's diverse terrain, ensuring safe and comfortable journeys for our guests. Our fleet of vehicles, equipped with portable oxygen and bottled water, provides the utmost convenience and comfort throughout your travels.

Thank Tibet Horizon for the wonderful Tibet trip they arranged for me! They are not just a travel agency, but more like friends who planned a tailor-made holiday for me. During the whole journey, they listened to my needs and did their best to meet them, providing an unparalleled service. I was satisfied with my guide, hotel and the views. Thanks again and look forward to my next trip.
