Greatest Tibet experience, October 2026
Our group did a 15-day Kailash tour with Tibet Vista from September 27 to October 11, 2026. It was an unforgettable Tibet experience, and we would like to share what made it so special. We worked on the organisation of the trip with Laura Tang, who was a great organiser. The program was perfectly constructed for visiting the most important spiritual and natural places, and it followed a medically recommended acclimatisation schedule. We acclimatised so well in four days that all of us slept without problems at Everest Base Camp (5,200 m) and during the Kailash Kora, and we were surprised that our bodies could do it. Because our group's organiser was very busy, we often had to make decisions at the last minute, sometimes within minutes. Laura was always very open to adapting to the changes we asked for. For example, the usual three-day Kailash Kora was done in four days, and that was no problem for her. At the end of the journey, our group asked her to organise an extra one-day trip to Beijing, and she arranged everything in two days. Really great skills. Beyond that, she is very easy to communicate with and very friendly. Even without knowing her personally, it was easy to talk to her about difficulties during the trip, and she would support us and adapt. In recognition of our cooperation, she offered me one free night at the hotel, which I found extremely kind. She is a great person and a true professional. We already talked to her about future cooperations. A special note goes to the choice of guide. Sonam Tenphel was the heart of this journey. He combines deep knowledge, professionalism, spirituality, empathy, open-mindedness, honesty, and a great sense of humour. Our group was rather chaotic, with frequent changes of plans for hotels and the Kora, yet Sonam handled everything perfectly, always with several solutions at hand, even at night. He looked after us when we struggled with the altitude, encouraged each of us during the Kora, and reorganised the final days so we would be more comfortable. Thanks to his knowledge of both everyday Tibetan life and its spiritual culture, nobody in our group was disappointed. He is genuine and big-hearted, and it was easy to connect with him. We could not have asked for a better guide. Our driver was also very well chosen. Although the language barrier limited our conversations, he always greeted us with warm energy and a big smile, helped with the luggage, and drove very well. We loved this incredible journey. We came home proud of ourselves and a little sad that it ended so soon. We would be happy to visit Tibet again, and we will definitely choose the same agency. Thank you Tibet Vista!
