Pre-Departure Information:
TRAVEL INFORMATION ON YOUR TOUR TO TIBET:
Most Importantly, all travelers
in Tibet are kindly requested to bear in mind that Tibet,
being extremely remote and isolated by the most formidable
Himalayan ranges, remains one of the most captivating but
least developed parts in the world. On top of that, with
its very short history of tourism (just about 15 years),
the facilities for tourists, although being upgraded, are
still at basic and limited scale. So, visitors are requested
not to have high expectation in terms of facilities in Tibet.
You can rather take this tour as an adventure from every
point of view, viz., road, hotels, vehicles, climate, visa,
etc. However, We will always put all our all our efforts
inmaking your journey as pleasant as possible.
ABOUT
THE FACILITIES FOR THE TOURIST IN TIBET:
Tibet has a very short history of tourism, just about fifteen
years. The facilities for tourist although being upgraded
are still at basic and limited scale. Most importantly,
all travelers traveling in Tibet are kindly requested to
bear in mind that Tibet being extremely remote and isolated
by the most formidable Himalayan ranges remains one of the
most captivating but least developed parts in the world.
We will always put all our efforts to make your journey
as pleasant as possible but the visitors are requested not
to have high expectation in terms of facilities in Tibet.
Besides, the road between Tibet and Nepal is not up to the
standard. It is rough, bumpy and full of bends. Particularly,
during monsoon (June-August), It can be temporarily obstructed
by landslide and erosion. Therefore, a bit sporty wears
and shoes are much advised facilitating the travelers to
walk over the landslide - especially in the Nepal portion.
