    • Great Tibet TourOperator•Written February 2026

      The group tour is confirmed based on 2 pax. However, there are 6 travelers joining the Lhasa city tour. If there is not enough travelers to Yamdrok lake, we can arrange it as a one-day private tour.

      Are there any tours including Yamdrok Lake in May that are guaranteed to take place? If so, what are the dates?

    • A

      Anita

      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.

    • Great Tibet TourOperator•Written April 2025

      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?
