Unique and amazing trip !! 3 routards, vaut le voyage. I had the chance to be part of a handful of foreigners to join this organised tour in August 2021 in Tibet. Did a 9 days tour to Lhasa, Everest base camp, Linzhi, Yamshok lake and Shigatse among others. At that time - strict control of foreigners, reinforced control over a beginning of COVID cases in China - , it was not all smooth and easy, it involved some amount paperwork and Covid testing we had to do in person to be allowed to proceed to each leg of our trip. this might change in the future. After a little somewhat chaotic first day, and amid daily changing policies from the Tibet gouvernement, the organisers, guides and drivers managed to show foresight, flexibility to give us an overall excellent experience.
Tibet offers such unique landscapes ranging from lunar-like desert, to the Alpine lakes and mountains, to snow storm in August, culture - Potala Palace just to name the obvious - and people acclimated to living at 5000m elevation, that this will be among the best and most unique trips I’ve ever done.
Do not expect:
- a smooth and easy trip like any normal place
Do expect:
- a unique experience like nowhere else
- a team of guides, drivers and management that will do their best to give you an enjoyable experience
- a lovely and welcoming people and culture
- to be in aww the whole time
