which month of the year can stay in the yuk houses? Its depend to the wrather or time of the year?

The overnight stay in a traditional Tibetan yak-hair tent near Everest Base Camp is generally available from early April through the end of September. During the winter months (approximately October to early April), the tents close due to severe weather, and accommodation is provided in a nearby guesthouse instead. For the best chance of clear views of Mount Everest while still enjoying the authentic tent experience, May, June, and September are excellent times to travel.

  Traveler•Written July 2026
  Would your tour include China visa and Tibet permit? Or we'll have to get our China visa ahead of booking the tour?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2026
  The tour price includes the tibet permit (we arrange it for all travellers) however the Chinese visa we don't deal with. We do provide travellers with a link to complete their Letter of invitation (LOI) letter form which is needed as a supporting document when applying for a Chinese visa, then once you have received it from us, it is the travellers responsibility to apply and obtain for the visa.
