Nepal Tibet Tour 2023/2024

A tour of Nepal and Tibet would combine visits to two distinct and culturally rich countries in the Himalayas. A combined tour would cover the highlights of both countries, including Kathmandu & Lhasa City sightseeing, Mountain flight & Potala Palace, and a combination of scenic drive and flight. Nepal Tibet Tour offers natural beauty in its original form. Travelers can witness the diversity in culture, traditions, and festivals, visit the cultural heritages listed in UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and Jungle Safari for natural lovers. The true beauty of both of these countries is in the countless small, but meaningful experiences and cultural interactions that travelers can have throughout the trip. Traveling to most major cities and settlements here in these both nations, travelers can understand these beautiful nations better.

Nepal is known for its stunning mountain landscapes, including Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. Travelers can take a scenic flight around the mountain, do short hikes, sightsee around World Heritage Sites, do jungle Safari, and enjoy the sunrise views from the destinations like Nagarkot, and Sarangkot.

Tibet is an Autonomous Region of China that lies in a plateau region in Asia. This Himalayan kingdom has its unique culture, religion, and history. Lhasa is the capital city of Tibet and has many important Tibetan Buddhist sites. Some major attractions of Tibet are Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and Sera Monastery. Travelers can also visit Northern EBC (Everest Base Camp), explore a large turquoise lake Yamdrok Lake, and visit sacred monasteries.

Tibet is re-open for tourists after COVID-19: Updated April, 2023

Foreigners are allowed to visit Tibet, but flights from Kathmandu (Nepal) to Lhasa (Tibet) or vice versa are currently not available. However, there are other tour options such as overland or driving tours.

One option is to start the tour in Lhasa (Tibet) and end in Kathmandu, with the possibility of continuing on to Bhutan.

•  This is an overland tour and traveling route is Lhasa – Sighatse – Rongbuk Monastery – Nepal Border and Kathmandu.
• To participate in this tour, travelers need to apply for a China visa in their home country and spend one night in mainland China (such as Chengdu, Shanghai, Beijing, etc.) to obtain the Tibet Travel Permit (which is necessary to enter Tibet). We will send a hard copy of the permit to your hotel.

Second option is to take an overland tour that begins and ends in Lhasa (Tibet)

• It includes a visit to Lhasa, Sighatse, Rongbuk Monastery (EBC), and return to Lhasa.
• To participate in this tour, travelers must apply for a China visa in their home country and spend one night in mainland China (such as Chengdu, Shanghai, Beijing, etc.) to obtain the Tibet Travel Permit. We will send a hard copy of the permit to your hotel, as it is required for entry into Tibet.

Third Option is an overland tour that starts and ends in Kathmandu, with a visit to Lhasa (Tibet).

•  The tour route covers Kathmandu, Tibet border, Rongbuk Monastery (EBC), Sighatse, Lhasa, Xegar/Sigatse, and Nepal border and returning to Kathmandu.
• To participate in this tour, we will apply for a Tibet visa from the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu using your original passport & photographs.

Best season to visit Nepal and Tibet

Nepal:

Nepal is ideal to visit all around the year and each season has some uniqueness to offer. But, Spring (Mar-May) seasons are considered best followed by the Autumn (Sep-Nov) season to travel to Nepal. The weather is moderate, the skies are clear, and the temperature during the day is warm and colder in the mountains than in the lower regions.

During winter (Dec-Feb), it is slightly warm during the day and cold in the morning and night. Expect snowfalls in the higher regions. But, the views are clear and you can still enjoy traveling during the winter season in Nepal.

Tibet:

Tibet is situated on a high plateau and hence, experiences low temperatures and frost for most of the months. It lies at a high elevation compared to Nepal. So, the best time to travel to Tibet is the Summer season (Jun-Aug). This is the peak season and the chance of altitude sickness is very low. The oxygen level in the atmosphere is high during this season as the temperature is between 12℃-24℃ which helps travelers to properly acclimatize.

Spring (Apr-May) and Autumn (Sep-Oct) seasons are also the best time to travel to Tibet if you want to skip the peak season crowd. The temperature during the day is warm but nights are cold and colder at high altitudes. For the best view of Mt. Everest from the Northern EBC, the Spring and Autumn seasons are best and provide clear views. The winter season (Dec-Mar) is very cold in Tibet.

And, typically Tibet remains closed in February and March for foreigners to travel. Sometimes until early April, Tibet can remain closed.

Altitude sickness

Altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS), is a common condition that can occur when people ascend/climb to high elevations without giving proper rest to the body. Altitude sickness is common at the high-altitudes. But, travelers must know the symptoms and preventions of altitude sickness.

Symptoms of AMS include:

Headache, nausea, shortness of breath, fatigue, and confusion. In some cases, AMS can be severe, and even life-threatening.

Altitude Sickness Prevention:

• Consult a doctor and get advice before visiting high-altitude areas
• Immediately inform the guide or group members
• Immediately descend
• Acclimatize properly
• Ascend slowly
• Drink plenty of water
• Eat foods that are rich in Carbohydrates, Vitamins, Iron, and Vitamin E
• Urinate Frequently
• Avoid salty foods, alcohol, and smoking
• Seek medical attention if they experience any symptoms or consult an expert or guide

Nepal: Altitude sickness is there in the higher regions. During the Nepal visit, we travel to most of the lower regions and there is no fear of getting altitude sickness. Still, we recommend you do some exercises and get fit and healthy for the travel.

Tibet: As mentioned earlier, Tibet is on a high plateau and its elevation is higher compared to Nepal. It has an initial altitude at Lhasa of approx. 3650m from the sea level. So, we recommend you before visiting Tibet, get as fit and healthy as possible, both physically and mentally. It is advised that travelers having records of heart, lung, or other organ problems or anemia must consult their doctor before traveling to Tibet. If anyone planning to travel to Northern EBC, we advise you to spend at least 2-3 days in Lhasa city to acclimatize and adjust to the temperature. During the Tibet visit, we have the facility of oxygen cylinders for emergency and traveler’s safety.
