Overview
A trip to Everest Base Camp in Tibet is one of the most popular adventure tours in the world as visitors cross the mighty Himalayas and view the panorama of the world’s highest peaks. Upon your arrival to the holy city of Lhasa, you will be greeted by the lovely blue sky and impressive glimpses of many monasteries. We will spend a couple of days in Lhasa, appreciating its prominent historical and religious sites like the breathtaking Potala Palace, and divine Jokhang Temple, as well as the expansive Drepung and Sera monasteries.
These first couple of days also tend to help many of our visitors recover from jet lag. Before we embark on our journey into the Himalayan region, we will view the holy Yamdrok Lake, beautiful Karo la glaciers, mystical Gyantse Khubum stupa, and the Tashi Lhunpo monastery. These sites will repeatedly stir you with astonishment and appreciation and will keep the trip memorable throughout our eight-day excursion. Then we will spend an overnight at the foot of the mighty peak of Mt.Everest and enjoy the spectacular views of the world’s highest peak from the base camp. Every year thousands of travelers travel to Everest Base Camp in Tibet. The best time to visit Everest Base Camp in Tibet is in Autumn.
Note: Sometimes may not be able to see Mt.Everest clearly due to the weather and climate changes, so please be prepared for all possibilities, especially in July and Aug which is the monsoon season. Sometimes if you can get up earlier in the morning, you will see the peak better, so please make sure that you don’t miss any single chance of enjoying the scenery.

Hi, I am interested in this tour. But I cannot exert myself much and was wondering if I can skip the Kailash Kora and use other forms of transportation. I do however want to see Mt. Kailash. Also are you able to provide oxygen?
Permit application:
Tibet travel permit process takes around 22 days and we need 3 days to send you the permit in mainland China . We also need your passport and China visa copy for the permit application. Please send me clear photos or scan copies. If your China Visa is not an “L” visa, then you must also provide additional documents such as student certificates, work permits, residence permits and so on. If you enter Tibet by plane, you need original permit which we will mail it to your last hotel in mainland China, if you by train, only need copy of the permit, which we will send you by email. Tour Information:
Here I recommend you 15 days Kailash group tour below, sorry, since this is group tour, basically everything is fixed, so, we cannot find other transportation for you to avoid the trekking. What’s more, there is no public bus.
Please check the details below. Also, please let me know if your nationality is India, thank you!
Have a wonderful day!
Best Regards,
