A meaningful 15 Day journey in Tibet 🙏🏻🪷
The 15-day Tibet tour from Lhasa to Everest Base Camp, and Mount Kailash (including Kora) was a truly unforgettable pilgrimage. Visiting sacred places and witnessing the breathtaking landscapes and culture of Tibetan was a deeply meaningful experience that I will always cherish. During the whole trip, I was grateful to had great experiences and being able to enjoyed daily programs without getting sick in such high altitude environments. I believe take into consideration on the preparation process played essential part of this trip. I personally, love going trekking and once in a while climbing a few thousands meter route. However, the highest and latest elevations I climbed was around four thousand meters in Nepal last year which was more than a thousand meters less than Tibet with totally different climates. So, while getting prepared, allowed sometime consulting with the tour agent person and your Physician if you needed. Given that the itinerary was well organized, allowing us to experience the spiritual significance of Mount Kailash, the majesty of Everest Base Camp, and the rich culture and history of Tibet while maintaining good paces for everyone’s acclimatization. In addition, some important notes that future travelers should be aware of is that to make sure you allow yourself enough time to go through itinerary details thoroughly and read the REVIEWs which will help you understand and foreseen the arrangement on ground (eg., what to expect in case you travel during the peak season of Kora, confirm the list of Hotels and hotel booking status prior to your arrival, porter conditions, and you also want to have some pictures of the 3 day kora beforehand, etc.). On the last day in Lhasa, a few of us were having some unexpected yet uncommunicated changes of Airport/ Train transfer plan but then all sorted out in the following time and we did not miss our flight/train, thankfully. I trusted that everyone involved were doing their best within their capacities to ensure smooth and memorable trip experiences for every guests. Furthermore, our guide Mr. Khunchok was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared for the group throughout the journey. As well, our chauffeur was kind, helpful and experience on those rural road conditions. Additionally, I would also like to give special thanks to Miss Amy (Zhang) from Chengdu office for her incredible supportive from the moment I started to consult about the trip package. Her professionalism and kindness gave me confidence and made the entire experience much smoother. Overall, this was an incredible journey that I would happily recommend to anyone seeking a once-in-a-lifetime experience combining adventure, culture, and spiritual pilgrimage. Thanks to the entire Tibet Vista team, especially Miss Amy and our guide Khunchok, for making this journey so memorable.
