What people love about Tibet Tours
- Glimpses of Nepal and Tibet Tour 14 Days
Absolutely loved the Glimpse of Nepal and Tibet Tour with Peregrine Treks! The tour was exceptionally well-planned and executed, and we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. However, it's worth mentioning that some of our co-travelers were complaining about the situation with the Tibet visa delay. It's essential to clarify that this delay was completely beyond the control of Peregrine Treks. The Chinese Embassy's processing time caused the delay, not our tour operator. Despite this unforeseen circumstance, Peregrine Treks handled the situation with the utmost professionalism and communicated effectively with all travelers. Due to the visa delay, we spent an additional 5 nights in Pokhara, which turned out to be an unexpected delight. We had 5 delightful nights in Pokhara, enjoying sightseeing and short hikes that left us with unforgettable memories. The team at the company was extremely professional, handling all arrangements efficiently despite the short notice. Pradip deserves special praise for his exceptional customer service. He skillfully managed the complaints from some of our fellow travelers, helping them understand the actual situation. Pradip's patience, understanding, and willingness to go the extra mile were commendable. He even provided complimentary massage services and arranged return flight tickets without any extra cost to ease the inconvenience caused by the visa delay. In conclusion, despite the visa challenge, the Glimpse of Nepal and Tibet Tour was an incredible adventure, thanks to Peregrine Treks' professional arrangements and Pradip's outstanding efforts. We highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking a well-organized and memorable experience in Nepal and Tibet!

"My husband and I recently completed the Lhasa Tour from Kathmandu, and overall, it was an incredible experience. The tour was well-organized, and everything went smoothly from the moment we were picked up in Kathmandu. The arrangements, including transportation and guides, were top-notch, ensuring we could fully enjoy the breathtaking landscapes and cultural experiences. The accommodations were basic but manageable, which is typical for the region. One thing to note, however, is that restroom facilities along the way were in very poor condition—this is beyond the control of the Peregrine. I highly recommend carrying hand sanitizer and being prepared to use open toilets when necessary. This small inconvenience was easily outweighed by the stunning scenery and unique cultural experiences. Despite these challenges, the tour provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore Lhasa’s spiritual and historical landmarks. The visits to Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple were unforgettable highlights. If you’re prepared for a bit of adventure and some rustic conditions, this tour is an amazing way to experience the heart of Tibet. Highly recommended!

Demographics
The Kathmandu to Lhasa overland routes work really well if you're traveling solo - you'll share transport with other curious travelers while keeping the budget in check. Our guests love diving into local life, whether that's joining the morning prayers at Jokhang Temple, watching monks debate at Sera Monastery or exploring the maze-like Barkhor Street with new friends from the group. The 8-14 day trips give your body proper time to handle the altitude changes while taking in Tibet's key sites. The local guides make all the difference here, creating real chances to connect with local culture - you might learn to make momos with a Lhasa family or share butter tea with monks at Drepung Monastery.
Our Lhasa to Everest Base Camp routes get fantastic feedback from couples looking to share something special together. These 9-14 day journeys start with quiet walks through old Lhasa before heading into Tibet's mountain country. Our travelers tell us they love those shared moments - catching sunrise together at Everest's north base camp, taking photos by the bright blue Yamdrok Lake and exploring monastery halls filled with incense smoke. It's that mix of culture and mountain scenery that really works - one day you're walking with pilgrims around Tashilhunpo Monastery, the next you're looking out at Himalayan peaks from Gawula Pass.
The 8-9 day Kathmandu to Lhasa overland trips pull in younger travelers who want both culture and real high-altitude adventure. You'll cross several 5,000-meter passes, visit remote monasteries and stay in local guesthouses along the way. Our guides know exactly where to take you - to busy tea houses hidden in Lhasa's streets, to nomad camps on the Tibetan plateau and to catch the monk debates at Sera Monastery. It's proper adventure territory up here - you'll definitely earn your stripes crossing Gyatso La pass at 5,220 meters and staying in places like Gyantse where old Tibet meets new in the most interesting ways.
