‚Breathtaking‘ trip across Tibet

‚Breathtaking‘ trip across Tibet. We took the train from Chengdu to Lhasa and exited Tibet in Gyirong to cross into Nepal. All along the way we were surrounded by beautiful scenery.

Kiki took us under her wings, showing us her culture and discovering places of Tibet that were new to her, too. She‘s helped us bridging language barriers many times and thanks to her we had several encounters with the curious and open Tibetans. Thank you.

Everest Base Camp 8 Day Group Tour

You can trust Tibet Vista to provide a well planned and cost effective tour. There is a lot packed in to 8 days so be prepared for some busy days. The monasteries, palaces, temples and scenery are amazing. My advice is wear some good footwear as there is a lot of walking and steps. We stayed in local hotels and eat in local restaurants all arranged or advised by Tibet Vista. Amy in the office answered all my queries. Thank you. Our guide Lobsang and his driver looked after me really well as I walk with a stick and need help with the steps. Thank you Lobsang. In summary, I really enjoyed this tour and the assistance from all the Tibet Vista staff and travelling companions meant I could do so much more. Thank you everyone.

At first everything seemed fine

At first everything seemed fine. The contact with this company was friendly and helpful but after you paid the problems start. They make false promises about being able to arrange visiting places which is absolutely not possible at all.
Then it is not possible to visit places twice and they don't offer anything substantial as a replacement for the whole afternoon.
Then they tell you you'll get a single room for the whole tour and suddenly someone shows up to your room to share .without any explanation or without even asking.
They kept promising things and not keeping their word and also not replying to answers.

The tour itself was all about being shepherded from one viewpoint to the next without seeing the real Tibet. Not visiting villages or any interaction with locals at all. The guides don't speak english sufficient enough to give you more than the basics and questions will remain unanswered. All and all very disappointing.

Excellent tour, guide, driver and service

My husband and I did a 10 day tour with Lhakdon as our guide and Namdol as our driver, organisedby Tibet Vista. Lhakdon was absolutely amazing. Her knowledge of the country and culture etc was extensive and she was able to share this in an engaging way. She was kind, considerate and respectful not only to us but others around us too. Nothing was too much trouble and she ensured we had the best tour. Lhakdon was sensitive to our needs and wellbeing at all times. Namdol was a brilliant driver and always drove carefully and safely, and stopped whenever there was something to see. They both did a phenomenal job and we can't recommend them highly enough. An exceptional and unforgettable trip thanks to them.

Lhakdon was our wonderful tour guide in Shigatse…

Lhakdon was our tour guide in Shigatse and accompanied us all the way back to Lhasa by train. We had an absolute perfect experience with her. She was waiting for her at the hotel when we arrived and explained all the itinerary and gave us good advice on where to get dinner. The next morning she was punctual, agile and extremely warm, friendly and helpful, especially with my elderly mother. She gave us lengthy explanations, taught us words in Tibetan and gave us an unforgetable tour of Tashi Lhumpo Temple and then helped us shop for souvenirs at the Old Market before taking us to a delightful lunch at a traditional place. She took care of all the train arrangements and was attentive of my mother's needs and also gave us wonderful tips for our free time in Lhasa, and arranged for our airport transportation. All along she was friendly, curious and a great company. We have nothing but positive opinions on Lhakdon and hope that many other tourists are lucky to spend time visiting Tibet with her wonderful, capable and delightful company!

Great tour with Tibet Vista. Thank you Lhakdon!

Tibet Vista had put up a great itinerary based on our requirement. It was at a good pace, allowing us to acclimatize. Lhakdon is one of the best tour guides that I have met. She is friendly, shares lots of information about the places that we visited, local traditions and customs. She went all out to make sure that we are comfortable. She always kept a look out for me to make sure that I am doing ok. We had lots of fun together with her.
Phuntso, our driver, is friendly and keeps us safe for the entire journey.
Thank you Lhakdon and Phuntso for making our trip a very memorable one.

We had a great time with Ms Lhakdon and Mr Phuntso…

We had a great time with Ms Lhakdon during our recent trip to Tibet. She is a marvellous guide as she took great care of us. She is knowledgeable and shared lots of information about the places we visited. She is very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. She help take many photos for us and even joined in the fun! On our last day, we dirtied our shoes when we hiked Lulang Forest and she helped us washed our hiking gear. Really appreciate her.

Our driver, Phuntso, is a very safe driver. He is also very experienced and knowledgeable. We are glad to have a safe driver like him.

Lycoris, our contact person from Tibet Vista is very responsive and did a great job coordinating the entire trip.

Great experience in Tibet

We have a really great time for this trip to Tibet especially with our guide Lhakdon and driver Phuntso. Lhakdon has taken care of us not only during each tours but also during “off” hours during our stays. She was friendly and knowledgable in educating us about everything about Tibet. Phuntso was an excellent driver, got us safely for all our journey. He was also very patient and friendly too. Thanks for the great time!!

My wonderful experience. First contact people she the…

First contact people show the initiative, to follow up answer our questions and generate a price, and itinerary.
Our journey starts on11/5/2025,where we were picked up by driver of Tibet Vista.Next morning we met our tour guide Lhakdo stated tour, things went well, weather was nice. We are very lucky to have Lhakdo as a tour guide, she is knowledgeable, helpful kind enthusiastic.Especially when I had an altitude sickness , she tried very hard to help me. Even try to carry my bag .
The only problem occurred when on our final days tour, as charged by Tibet Vista, we travelled over 3 hours on totally unsuitable road to visit Holly Elephant Gate . As soon as we arrived view area,a police man approached Lhakdo, and told her we should not be there , we should leave immediately. Even though we had government papers to justify our staying. Lhakdo carmly spoke with the policeman for some time but could not change his mind.so we had to return on the same dirt road another 3 hours just to get to the bitumen and another 3or more hours back to the hotel all the time Lhakdo heard mine and others complaints patiently and calmed us down and arranged a solution that seemed to satisfy all where the company paid for our lunch and made an immediate refund of 300 Chinese yuan per person and a formal apology written by the company that everyone accepted. In general I am satisfied with my experience and would recommend the company

It was great experience in Tibet.

It was great experience in Tibet.
We were guided around by Kunga who gave us a great experience of Lhasa and E BC
Especially the knowledge of Tibetan
history and its customs was helpful to get a good understanding of Tibetan life. We highly recommend Kunga who is knowledgeable, speaks great English and is a great person.

Our guide Lhakdon was incredible

Our guide Lhakdon was incredible, so knowledgeable, kind, and generous with her time and energy. Any question we had, whether about Tibet, the altitude, or the programme, Lhakdon went above and beyond in answering. Overall the trip visited all the major must-see places in Tibet, a good balance of Tibetan culture and the Tibetan mountains and landscapes. The agency, Tibet Vista, was responsive whenever there was an issue.

Lhakdon is very good and patient tour guide

Lhakdon is very good and patient tour guide. She is willing to help and solve the problem whenever we have. Also, we would like to visit 扎基寺 which is outside of our program, she is willing to spend her own time (after settle all the remaining travelers) and bring us to this 扎基寺。Well done Lhakdon, hope to see you in my next visit to Tibet.

We booked our trip with Vista

We booked our trip with Vista, and everything was very well organized from the beginning—including visa arrangements and the full coordination of our journey. Our guide, Joy, who speaks perfect English, accompanied us for four days and impressed us with her extensive knowledge. Her sense of humor and kindness made the trip a truly enjoyable experience. We highly recommend Vista!

Pasang: The heart and soul of our unforgettable Kailash journey

Our guide Pasang was an amazing soul! He is a very experienced guide and in a very short timeframe, he made connections with us all and it was good vibes all around! He reads the room very well and balances the timings of his knowledge sharing and joining in with the group in singing and dancing. We highly recommend him. He made us extremely comfortable, his English is excellent, he could read the room, he throughly prepared us for the Kailash Kora and every place he took us. He had an excellent sense of humour, is very spiritual, shared lots of Buddhist beliefs and traditions with us along the 13 days. He knew when to share what. I personally could complete the Kailash Kora with his guidance. He ensured we were thoroughly prepared, along the way he did lots of little things to make us as comfortable like helping us with the backpacks and other very caring deeds. Along the Kailash Kora, at 1 point he uprighted a rubbish bin (drum) which had toppled down and he placed all the rubbish back in it together with stones. We highly recommend Pasang and will be sharing our experience with all our friends.
