I am interested in this drive in/out tour to Tibet from Kathmandu. I am getting my Chinese visa in a couple of days and hold a US passport. I am interested on the tour leaving the 20th. Can you give me the cost of the trip as I have the visa already? Do you have slots open?

We have an open booking slot on this date, but I'm not sure about the minimum pax we can find. How many pax are in your group?

We are only 2 persons, but It doesn t Matter if we join with a group. Would like to know how many persons minimum are required for that tour, before to make the reservation.

We need minimum 4 people for private trip, but on September 20 we have a group for Tibet. So you can join with this group.

I am looking for 27th September to join your tour as a single traveller. 1. I plan to arrive 21/22. September in Kathmandu. Would this be enough for the Visa? Do I need a Chinese Visa as well or is this Visa enough? 2. are there enough people for the tour at this date? 3. I would like to go back by land. How is the time frame on the end of the tour? On day 7 in the description there are sights in Lhasa, I doubt that it is possible to go back in just one day (day 8). please tell me more about it. 4. unfortunately I will know in 3-4 weeks if I can book this tour. Is this still ok? 5. are there any additional costs but single room (195) and visa fee (125)?

Due to a landslide in the Nepal-Tibet border (Kerung), the border was closed. We are not sure whether the border was open or not until this date. Therefore, we can't take any bookings at this time.

Do you get our Tibet Visas? Do we need Chinas Visa with Tibet permit?

Yes, we get tibet visa with extra charge and need your passport 3 working days before tour depature in Kathmandu. You don't need to chinies visa for tibet tour. If you want to enter china you need chinies visa.

Do I have to request the Tibet Visa by myself or are you taking care of that? And for the transport from Lhasa to Kathmandu: What is planned there I am not sure since your system says 2 different things. Do I need to buy a flight ticket or is there a chance to drive back to kathmandu with the driver or by bus?

We will issue your Tibet visa but you need to pay extra 95 dollars for visa. And for the transport from Lhasa to Kathmandu, you have chance to drive to Kathmandu.

We had great experiences in the Himalayas with the Nepal Hiking Trek. The company owner, Sudip, was very attentive and friendly and helped us with figuring out the last details in regards to our approximate itinerary as well as handling the applications for all the different required permits and the Tibet visa. They looked after us during the whole trip. I can't begin to say how amazing the views are, and to experience the local culture was amazing, and the food was fab! If this trip is something you're considering, then just go for it!Show more
