Would the tour be guaranteed to take place even if I am traveling alone? By when would the tour be guaranteed to take place?

When and where will I receive the Tibet Travel Permit from you? (I would need it for the journey there).

How many hours of driving are required per day for this trip? Is the May 6 departure for the '5 Days Lhasa & Yamdrotso Lake Group Tour' a guaranteed departure?

In Lhasa city, there's not too much driving because the scenic spots are all in the city. On Day 4, the driving time is around 5 hours. This tour on 6 May is not confirmed. We have a confirmed departure on 12 May, would you consider joining?

The scenery of Namtso Lake left a deep impression on us, the lake is very clear, the snow mountain is very majestic.

I had the 6 Days Lhasa & Namtso Lake Group Tour with my mom this time, she is 70 years old. Our driver and guide were very caring for her, I very appreciate them. We like the hotel in Lhasa very much, The bed is very comfortable, so my mother got a good rest. The scenery of Namtso Lake left a deep impression on us, the lake is very clear, the snow mountain is very majestic. I can't imagine that there would be such a huge lake at such a high altitude. We are home now and often flips through those photos. Our Tibet journey was really good! Thank you all!Show more

  Traveler•Written March 2026
  I've read that the Tibet Travel Permit is only issued for travel groups of at least 5 people. If the group size really matters, would that be fulfilled?
- Great Tibet TourOperator•Written March 2026
  There are group dates on May 6th and 8th.
- Great Tibet TourOperator•Written March 2026
  Actually, there is no group size limit. Solo travelers can also enter Tibet on their own. However, the tour fee will be higher.
