    Asked on March 28th, 2026

    I'm a solo traveller shopping around for the best priced 7/8 day tour from Lhasa starting on 26th, 27th or 28th April. Please can you confirm: 1. whether you have any such tours, 2. what they include (I am happy to share accommodation, but if you will charge me extra if no other solo travellers are present please specify) and 3. what the cost is. If you already have someone I could share a room with, please let me know as it will help me choose a tour company based on cost.

    • Great Tibet TourOperatorWritten March 2026

      Yes, we can arrange the 8 Day Lhasa EBC Group tour for you on April 27th. Yes, there is a male traveler who wants to share a 4* hotel room. In this case, you won't pay the single supplement. You can check the tour price based on 4* hotel without a single supplement.

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      can you please answer all my questions to help me make an informed decision? It's a very big expense so I'm sure you understand I'd like to go with the cheapest quote. For question number 2 please can you list the itinerary day by day. Additional question (number 4) is that my flight to Lhasa would arrive at 23:15 on 26th April, would the pick-up service be included?

      Frances

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      Could we book train tickets from Xi'an to Lhasa on the Z265/Z165 route for September 17th, specifically in soft sleepers? If this option is unavailable, can we instead book tickets from Xi'an to Xining on a fast train, and then from Xining to Lhasa in soft sleepers?

    • Great Tibet TourOperatorWritten February 2026

      This itinerary is organized as a group tour, Pingcuo Kangsang is about 40km away from the scheduled EBC tent, which can affect arrangements for other guests. We can help book soft sleeper tickets from Xi'an to Lhasa if needed.
