Luxury Tibet Tours

Travel+Leisure World's Best Awards 2023 logo in white

In western China, between the indomitable peaks of the Himalayan range to the south and the Taklamakan Desert to the north, you’ll find the Tibet Autonomous Region, sat upon the Tibetan Plateau.

Home to the world-famous spiritual leader, The Dalai Lama, here you will not only find awe-inspiring views of the world’s highest mountains but also the opportunity for unparalleled high-altitude walks, mesmerising monasteries and one of the most unique and inviting cultures in the world.

Tibet is also known for its intricate and tumultuous history in which its independence has been a central topic. Stretching back to the mid-7th century, when Songtsan Gampo established the unified Tibetan Empire, it’s history outlines Chinese and Mongol control, as well as a British invasion.

Much of Tibet’s rich cultural heritage was laid in ruins due to the Communist government-inspired Cultural Revolution movement between 1966 and 1976. However, tensions have since somewhat calmed, allowing Tibet’s rich traditional culture to gradually recover.

Its capital Lhasa is truly a one-of-a-kind destination and upon arrival, you’ll understand why Lhasa means “place of the gods”. As one of the world’s highest cities, the remote location of Tibet’s capital makes it a thoroughly exclusive destination, with more than 1,000 years of cultural and spiritual history.

Not to be missed are Potala Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the old chief residence of the Dalai Lama; the graceful Lhasa Zhol Pillar, which is inscribed with what may be the oldest known example of Tibetan writing; the Norbulingka Palace, once the Dalai Lama’s Summer Palace; and the Jokhang temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Barkhor pilgrim circuit and for some, the most the most sacred and important temple in Tibet.

Located at the bottom of a small basin surrounded by the Himalaya Mountains, Lhasa features mostly uninhabited marshlands to the Nnrth and an area of great scenic beauty to the south where the Kyi River – the ‘merry blue waves’ – flows through. Lhasa is surrounded by three parks, the Norbulingka – the largest man-made garden in Tibet, the Shugtri and the Lukhang, and spending time within them is an integral part of life in this city.

Very few place names in the world evoke such powerful images as Tibet – it remains endlessly mysterious and fascinating, and whilst it bears many similarities to mainland China, it offers an entirely unique culture and experience at the same time.

Private and Luxury Tibet Tours

On your Tibet travel you’ll spot Buddhist monks and nuns prostrate in front of  Lhasa’s Jokhang Temple . Its rooftop offers a spectacular view of  Barkhor Square  and the iconic  Potala Palace . Near  Sera Monastery , an elderly woman, spinning a prayer wheel, smiles warmly. In no time at all you feel the spiritual energy of Tibet, shining through the landscape, radiating from every colorful door and quiet niche.

This is no more the forbidden kingdom. If Tibet has long been on your bucket-list, it’s time to tick it off. It may be a longish journey to get there, and permits, paperwork and guides are required. But you can leave all of that to your friends at Enchanting Travels; they’ll orchestrate a private Tibet tour that you’ll be talking to your grandchildren about.

Turquoise blue  Yamdrok Lake  shimmers in the bright sunshine, reflecting cloudless Himalayan skies. Shaggy yaks, most beloved animal of the Tibetans, graze on the vast high-altitude plateaus.  Mt Everest’s North Base Camp  is accessible by road, without any need for trekking. It is a fascinating place, this massive plateau in the Himalayas—an almost inhospitable terrain, with a welcoming people.

You’ve probably been in love with the idea of Tibet for a long time. Now the reality of it will touch your soul.

*Please note that Tibet tours are only possible for five or more people traveling together as per the new Visa regulations by the Chinese government.

Luxury Tibet Holidays

Tibet is one of the world’s most remote, and least-travelled destinations and has traditionally been the go-to of choice for spiritual seekers, adventurers and wanderers. Today, luxury holidays to Tibet are opening up the region to visitors in a whole new way and Lightfoot Travel has travelled there to make sure we tailor the best holiday for you.

Monasteries still hum with the morning chanting of monks and prayer flags ripple in the wind against the backdrop of dramatic mountain ranges, including the world’s highest peak (Everest), one of the highest lakes (the Lhagba Pool), and the highest railway in the world.

Lhasa is the cultural heart of Tibet, and many of the most spectacular sites are found here, including the immense 1000-roomed Potala Palace , once the seat of the Tibetan government and the traditional winter home of the Dalai Lama. Here, you can take a shopping trip with a difference in Barkhor street, which winds around Jokhang Temple. This busy marketplace is a pilgrim circuit – according to local tradition you should walk clockwise as you bargain for souvenirs.

Shigatse is Tibet’s second largest city and once the capital of the Tsang kingdom. One of the highlights is the majestic, golden-roofed Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, founded in 1447 by the first Dalai Lama, who is buried there. Explore the maze of paved alleyways and discover more about monastery life.

Tibet hasn’t always been easily accessible to travellers, but a new crop of airports, infrastructure and stylish boutique hotels are paving the way for tourism in the region – all the more reason to experience this incredible land while it’s still untouched.

If the client needs to or wishes to return to Lhasa before the scheduled end of the Group Tour, Tibet Highland Tours will arrange for an additional vehicle to transport the client at the clients cost. For this reason, we recommend a travel insurance policy that would cover unexpected illness and trip interruption.

Tour Cancelation by Tibet Highland Tours

However rare, Tibet Highland Tours reserves the right to cancel a tour for any reason related to forces outside of our control such as natural disasters, political instability or other Force Majure reasons. If this happens, Tibet Highland Tours will notify you in writing immediately. For any tours that are cancelled by us, we will either offer you a comparable alternative journey or refund you the entire tour cost, minus $50 for processing your refund.

Group Tour Cancellation or Cost Changes due to Low Booking

Tibet Highland Tours reserves the right to cancel or change the costs for a Professionally Guided Tour due to low booking numbers. For Professionally Guided Tours, the minimum number of participants to make the tour viable is 5. If we receive less than the required number of clients to make the tour viable, Tibet Highland Tours will either cancel the tour, offer the client a different date to begin their tour or continue the scheduled tour at a revised cost per person. Tibet Highland Tours will let clients know at least 60 days in advance if a Professionally Guided Tour has to be cancelled.

If the tour is canceled, Tibet Highland Tours will refund you the entire tour cost minus $50 for processing your refund. If Tibet Highland Tours offers to move you to a different departure date, no compensation will be given.

If a client chooses to cancel their journey rather than paying the adjusted price, Tibet High Land will offer them a full refund, minus $50 for processing your refund.

Force Majeure and Tour Changes

Tibet Highland Tours will not offer compensation for Force Majeure (aka: Act of God or forces outside our control). These include, but are not limited to, road closures due to weather, natural disasters, political instability, government closure, riots, war or threat of war, loss of power, fire, technical or maintenance problems with transport, airport delays or closures, unexpected flight or train time changes or other similar situations outside the control of Tibet High Land.

Changes to Hotels

Though uncommon, Tibet Highland Tours reserves the right to change the hotel(s) that is/are listed in the original travel itinerary. If we have to do this, it will only be done for your comfort and safety. When this does happen, it is usually due to the original hotel being renovated, the hotel being unsafe due to reasons outside our control (natural disaster or political protests) or because we have found a better hotel in the same price range as the original hotel that was booked. If you have requested a specific hotel for us to book during your journey, we will stay to that booking unless there is a real concern for comfort and safety that would require us to move you to a more suitable hotel.

Hotels and Guesthouses in Remote Areas

Many regions of the Tibet, including the Everest Region in both Tibet, the Kailash Region, and other poor and undeveloped regions have poor hotels and guesthouses and sometimes do not offer any type of shower or bathing facility. These guesthouses are usually well below international standards. They usually have no heating, but have plenty of blankets. In addition, the toilets are often very 3rd World and located outside. The overall cleanliness of hotels and guesthouses in the remote Tibet is below international standards. Often times these are the only hotels that are available for the journeys that we arrange. Clients should understand this before booking a journey. Tibet Highland Tours always tries to book clients in comfortable and clean accommodations, even in the most remote of regions. However, Tibet Highland Tours will not be held responsible for any disputes regarding the conditions of hotels in the poor and remote regions of the Himalaya.

Price Changes

However rare, Tibet Highland Tours reserves the right to increase the costs of a tour because of unexpected government regulations that we have to abide by that are outside our control. Things like tourist vehicle prices and entrance fees to parks, temples and monasteries in Tibet are strictly regulated by the government and can increase at anytime without warning. In this rare occurrence, we will give you as much advanced notice as possible.

Flights and/or Train Tickets

Tibet Highland Tours does not offer air ticket or train ticket sales except when they are part of one of our Package or Professionally Guided Tours. Otherwise, all international flights and domestic flights are the responsibility of the client. Tibet Highland Tours will not be held responsible for any losses or costs incurred due to delays or cancellations of flights and/or trains. Any dispute regarding train or flight tickets must be taken up directly with the airline or railway company.

Travel Insurance

All clients of Tibet Highland Tours MUST take out a travel insurance policy that should provide coverage before, during and after your journey for any medical expenses coming from personal illness or accident, as well as provide coverage for emergency evacuation and repatriation. In addition, we strongly recommend a policy that includes coverage in case of lost luggage, cancelled and/or changed flights and/or trains, or unexpected trip cancellation. It will be the clients responsibility to take out this insurance policy. At Tibet Highland Tours, we highly recommend both World Nomads and Travel Guard. When taking out a travel insurance policy, be sure to inquire if the Himalayan regions of Tibet, China, India, Nepal and Bhutan are covered. If you plan to go rafting or trekking on your journey with us, make sure your policy covers these activities. Tibet Highland Tours will not be held responsible for any dispute or claim that arises from the client not having travel insurance or adequate travel insurance.

Passport, Visas and Travel Permits

Each client should make sure that their passport has a minimum of 6 months validity remaining from the time that your journey with us is finished. For our journeys to Tibet (China), India and Nepal, it will be the clients responsibility to obtain these visas. Visas for China and India must be obtained in advance, while visas for Nepal can be obtained on arrival for a fee. Tibet Highland Tours will assist each customer with obtaining the required tourist visa for journeys to Bhutan. Tibet Highland Tours will also assist each client in getting a Group Chinese Visa when going from Nepal to Tibet (note: for standard journeys to Tibet starting in Mainland China, customers can obtain the required Chinese visa on their own through a Chinese Embassy or Visa Service Center). Tibet High Land offers advice on how to easily obtain the required visas for the Himalayas. All passport and visa costs are the responsibility of the client to cover.

Tibet require travel permits in addition to a visa, including all of Tibet and parts of India, Bhutan and Nepal. For journeys that required travel permits, Tibet High Land will take care of all details. These permit costs are included in the tour price, unless specifically stated.

Travel Vaccinations

It will be each clients responsibility to know the specific travel vaccinations required/recommended for the region(s) they are traveling to. It is also the clients responsibility to cover the costs of all travel vaccinations needed. For a list of required and recommend travel vaccines, we recommend the following website: http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel

Tibet Transportation Co-Operatives

In Tibet, tourism vehicles are all owned and maintained through a handful of transportation co-operatives which are operated by a branch of the State own company. All foreign travelers to Tibet must use these vehicles owned by transportation co-ops for the duration of their journey in Tibet. As Tibet Highland Tours does not own these tourism vehicles, any dispute with the vehicle, however rare this occurs, must be brought directly to the attention of the transportation co-op. Tibet Highland Tours will not be held responsible for any disputes in regards to tourism vehicles.

Complaints and Refunds

If you have a complaint during the course of your journey, it should be made known to Tibet Highland Tours staff immediately so that we can resolve the issue. Failure to bring up a matter at the time it happens will affect the clients rights to receive compensation. Should a matter remain unsolved by the end of your journey, the client should contact Tibet Highland Tours in writing within 15 days of the end of the tour regarding the matter. Complaints received after 15 days from the end of the journey will not be considered. All complaints received within 15 days will be thoroughly investigated and refunds or partial refunds will be at the discretion of Tibet High Land. No refunds will be given for unused services during the clients journey. This includes any unused hotels, entrance fees, train tickets, flights, meals or other unused activities.

Behavior, Politics and Law

Each client is required to behave in a respectful and law-abiding matter when traveling with Tibet Highland Tours. The laws in Himalayan nations might be very different than the laws in your country. Nonetheless, clients are required to obey the laws in the country they are traveling in. If a client is found breaking the law, Tibet Highland Tours will cooperate with local law enforcement and the client will be forced to leave the journey immediately without any refund for unused portions of their tour. If a client is being disrespectful, rude and/or disruptive during a Group Journey or Professionally Guided Journey, the customer could be expelled from the tour, at the sole discretion of Tibet Highland Tours, while forfeiting any right for refund.

The Himalayas are often politically sensitive regions. Clients will be forced to leave any journey in which they participate in political protests or any form of public criticism of local governments. If you are removed from a journey due to participating in political protest, you immediately forfeit your right to be refunded for any unused portion of your journey.

Health, Fitness, Age, Pregnancy and Disability

All clients should be in overall good health before joining any of our journeys. Many of our journeys take place in high elevations between 3100 meters and 6100 meters (10,000 feet and 20,000 feet). Eliminating the risk of altitude sickness is impossible when traveling at high elevation, but all of our travel routes are built with acclimatization in mind to help reduce the risk of serious altitude-related illness. Our sales managers will NOT design customized travel routes that do not allow for proper altitude acclimatization. Our overland journeys do not require any strenuous trekking or climbing, but will have clients spending considerable time each day walking though towns, villages and monasteries. Though most of our treks do not require any prior high altitude or extensive trekking experience, all of our treks and climbs that take clients above 5200 meters (17,000 feet) require clients to have previous high altitude experience and be at a top level in fitness.

Tibet Highland Tours will not accept any unaccompanied minor that is under the age of 18. Some regions of the Himalaya, such as the Mt. Kailash region of Tibet, have travel regulations that will not accept travelers aged 70 and above. Travelers over the age of 70 will be required to answer a few simple health questions to ensure your safety when traveling in the Himalayas.

Due to the high elevations found across Tibet, Tibet Highland Tours cannot accept any pregnant women or any children under the age of 7 on tours to these locations due to increased health risks. In addition, Tibet Highland Tours will not arrange any treks that go above 3100 meters (10,000 feet) for pregnant women or children under the age of 6. Other journeys under 3100 meters can be joined by pregnant women who are in their first trimester of pregnancy and by children under the age of 7, granted they are part of a Package Journey or Custom Journey. Tibet Highland Tours cannot accept women who are beyond their first trimester of pregnancy on any of our journeys.

Any client who has a physical or mental disability or who is undergoing treatment for an illness must make it known to Tibet Highland tours at the time of booking. Having a disability or illness does NOT disqualify you from participating in one of our journeys, however, it could place a limitation in the type of journey we can offer. In some cases, We will require a note from your physician stating you are able to travel to the Himalayas.

Special Requests

Any special requests for one of our journeys should be communicated clearly to us in writing and should be made known as early as possible. This includes dietary restrictions, single room supplements or anything else that we should know about. We cannot guarantee that we can accommodate all special requests, but we will try! Some special requests will require an additional cost that the client is responsible for.

All clients of Tibet Highland Tours must agree to the above Booking Conditions, Terms and Conditions before they can be accepted on any of our journeys. In addition, they will have to accept our additional Cultural Policies as well as our Camera Policies. A signed agreement is required from each client before their journey can be processed.

We continually work in numerous cultural preservation projects, which we are very proud of. Our Cultural Polices are not meant to be restrictive or controlling but are in place to help you adjust and fit into a culture that is most likely much different than your own.

By joining any of Tibet Highland Tours tours, the client agrees to the following cultural policies:

Be respectful of the culture you are visiting

Most of the locals are followers of Buddhism. All clients should be respectful when entering temples and monasteries by removing shoes when required, speaking in a low voice, not smoking near temples/monasteries, not touching painting or tapestries, not touching monks or nuns (unless your guide says it’s permissible) and not photographing inside temples and monasteries (unless your guide says it’s permissible).

Dress Appropriately

Most locals dress very modestly and can feel uncomfortable when foreign travelers are not dressed appropriately for Buddhist culture. This is especially true inside temples and monasteries. When entering temples and monasteries, hats should always be removed. In addition, it is best to wear long pants and avoid sleeveless shirts in temples and monasteries and to overall dress modestly.

No Recreational Drug Use

All areas of the Tibet have strict drug laws. Clients of Tibet Highland Tours should not be involved with any type of drug use.

No Political Activity

Clients of Tibet Highland Tours are required to abstain from any type of protests, discussions about government and from distributing any type of material of any kind relating government and policies. This includes distributing pictures of the Lamas, or any other sensitive figures. Clients are also required to abstinent from bringing any books, Tshirt, and Tattoos relating to internal matter of Chinese national. Any client disregarding this policy will be required to withdraw from the journey immediately without any compensation or right to recover a refund.

Displays of Affection

It is rare for people of the Tibet to show public displays of affection. In accordance with local culture, we kindly ask for our clients to also limit public displays of affection.

Alcohol and High Elevation

For some of the high elevation treks and climbs that Tibet Highland Tours arrange, we will recommend clients to either abstain from alcohol or to severely limit the amount of alcohol intake. This is to help our clients acclimatize better to the high elevation to reduce the risks of altitude-related sickness. The staff at Tibet Highland Tours will let you know if this special policy applies to you.

Tibet Highland Tours Camera and Photography Guidelines and Policies At Tibet Highland Tours, we highly encourage taking plenty of photos everyday capturing the amazing landscape and unique culture of the Himalayas. However, it is important to remember that the Himalayas are a politically sensitive region. This is especially true of Tibet. The following basic guidelines and policies are not meant to prohibit you from taking photographs, but are in place to help you avoid any potential problems. By joining any of Tibet Highland Tours tours, the client agrees to the following camera and photography/filming policies:

Inside Temples and Monasteries

At many temples and monasteries across the Tibet, photographing and filming inside is prohibited. Allow inside photography for a fee. During all journeys that we arrange, any photography or filming fees are the client’s responsibility to cover.

Police and Military Personnel

Clients should never photograph or film police or military personnel. Doing so, particularly in Tibet, you will be asked to delete the photo immediately and you might lose all the other pictures in your camera. Do not even joke like you are taking photos of police or military personnel. Your local guide will remind you of this at the start of your journey.

In the unlikely event that you see a protest, especially in Tibet, you are not permitted to photograph it. Doing so will almost certainly cause you to be in serious trouble with local authorities.

Professional Journalists

Professional journalists are not allowed to traveling in Tibet with normal travel agency like us, You will have to contact with a special agency assign to host the tour for your profession. Tibet Highland Tours cannot arrange tours to Tibet for any professional journalists. Yet we can direct you to the respected agencies. Hiding your profession is strictly not allowed.

Super Telephoto Lenses and Drone

In Tibet, having a super telephoto lens or even a lens that looks like it is super telephoto, can cause you to have problems with local authorities. Tibet Highland Tours requires clients to let us know if they plan to take a lens to Tibet that has a focal length of more than 300mm so that we can give you special instruction.

Cuisines are another highlight of this Nepal-Tibet tour. This tour allows you to discover and try new cuisines of different ethnicities which is a unique and new taste for travelers. Food is one of the ways to connect with the people and the place to which you travel. Nepal is a country with diverse ethnicities, cultures, traditions, and religions. Thus, travelers can find diversity in food and drinks. Many might find similarities in the food to that of the neighboring nations India and China. No doubt, there is a huge influence from these nations. But, authentic Nepalese cuisine is different and has its unique ingredients, flavors, spices, and techniques in making. The staple diet of Nepal is Dal-Bhat served with lentil soups and some fresh vegetable curry or meat.

The famous authentic drinks are Chhyang (Rice beer), local rakshi (alcohol), and Tongba. Tibetan cuisine is also one of a kind. There are not so many varieties like that in Nepal but the cuisines of Tibet are tasty. Yak meat and potatoes are mostly used ingredients for cooking. Some famous Tibetan foods are Tsampa, Tibetan momo, Tibetan bread, Tibetan noodles with meat or vegetables, Thenthuk, Syaphale, tomato & egg soups, noodle soups, and hotpot. Tibetan Butter Tea is a famous drink that they enjoy with tsampa. Tibetans don’t eat seafood and it may be hard to find seafood in Tibet.

Excellent tour. We really enjoyed all of our tour arrangements. Each tour guide was very flexible and allowed us to add tour sites and activities as we requested. This flexibility made the tour very very good.

While it is nice to have an option for having lunch stops, we were not always hungry at lunch time and would have preferred to continue touring or just make a very brief stop to get a drink or snack rather than a full stop fot lunch.
