A Safe and Successful Kailash Parikrama with Tibet Vista
Booking a spiritual trip like the Kailash yatra is a huge deal, and you really need a team you can trust with your safety. I recently travelled with Tibet Vista in a large group of 34, and they absolutely delivered. Just a heads-up for anyone booking in the future, the Kathmandu portion of the trip was a bit disorganised, and the local partners in Nepal weren't the most helpful. However, the moment we crossed the border into Tibet, the service became excellent. Our lead guide, Kelsang Dorje (who goes by KD), was incredible. He is extremely knowledgeable and really brought the background of all the monasteries we toured, as well as the capital city and Everest Base Camp, to life. He even went out of his way to show us real local spots for tea/restaurants/shopping and was always snapping amazing photos of our group. Whenever we hit a rough patch KD, and our other guide Tensing, stayed completely calm under pressure. They worked their magic to navigate the local restrictions, lock down our paperwork, find us places to sleep when there was very limited availability during the Kora, and get us the horses and oxygen we needed to keep us going safely. Also must mention our Sherpa crew here (Shera, Nitesh, Babu). Trekking at that altitude is brutal, but they kept our spirits up with constant smiles and were always there to help us when we were struggling. They cooked fresh meals for us every single day, and keeping a massive group fed without a single case of a stomach bug is commendable. If you are thinking of doing the Kailash trek or visiting Tibet, this is the company to use. They truly looked out for us and made sure we all finished the journey safely.
