My 8 Day Tibet Tour with Travel Vista…

My 8 Day Tibet Tour with Travel Vista was amazing.

My guide, Lhakdon, went above and beyond to make this a great experience. From bringing coffee for us on the long bus rides to finding me medicine for my cold, I always felt safe and cared for. She, of course, also provided detailed insights into the local monasteries and answered any question about local life, culture and Tibetan Buddhism.

Another highlight of my trip was the culture workshop Tibet Vista organized. Following the instructions of the master we participated in different activities, including printing our very own Tibetan prayer flags, which we then hung at the highest point of our journey for good luck.

I highly recommend this trip if you are looking for a balance of nature and culture and want to gain more insight into Tibetan life.

Tibet tour experience

We’ve just finished the tour with Tibet Vista and from the beginning, the communication with the travel agent was excellent and response time was quick. During the tour, our guide Gelek and the driver was very accommodating and always on time. Service was good and the tour guide is very knowledgeable. Overall the experience was great and all 4 of us enjoyed this trip very much.

Mt Kailash Trek

I joined in halfway through the 15 day Mt Kailash trip. It was a group of five people which made it more intimate and made it easier to integrate into the group. The journey from Everest Base Camp to Mt Kailash was long but the Dashi (the driver) was incredibly safe on the road which made the journey as comfortable as a ten hour drive can be. Dicky (the guide) was conscious of our needs and checked in on those feeling unwell from the altitude. All the restaurants along the way were authentically Tibetan and welcomed us. Dicky ensured to manage our expectations of some of the facilities along the way, particularly the toilets. She ensured we were informed of our itinerary the day before and helped with any other requests. The hike itself was a hard one. I was able to complete it with one other member of the group and Dicky supported members of our group that were not feeling well. She was very conscious of our health and ensuring we all stay safe. Throughout the trek, Dicky called and checked in with us. The views at the top were beautiful and having the opportunity to complete the pilgrimage with local people was a once and a lifetime opportunity. I had a great time and knew I was well looked after the whole time.

Tibet trip

Lhakdon is my tour guide and Lee 师父 is my driver. Lhakdon is very friendly and helpful, very attentive to requests and issues. She is knowledgeable, shared with me lots of history about the monastery and culture.

Driver Lee was very friendly too. Keep reminding us not to forget to take things if it's important. And most importantly, drove us around tibet and back safely. Nice ride!

15 days around heavenly Tibet with Tibet Vista

Tibet had long been on my bucket list, and this 15-day tour with Tibet Vista exceeded every expectation. i contacted almost a dozen of Tibetan, Chinese and even Nepalese tour operators over the past year, and I am glad I have chosen this one. in my view, the trip was thoughtfully designed to take to the best sights and scenery around beautiful Tibet, as well as well-paced that allowed smooth acclimatization. to my surprise, accommodations and meals were excellent throughout the trip: we get to stay in the best hotels in each town. Kudos to Tibet Vista for that too!

What truly set the experience apart was our guide, Dorjee and the driver Tchimpu, two people I came to associate tibetan hospitality, character, n culture with.
Beyond his deep knowledge of Tibetan geography, history, and Buddhist philosophy, Dorjee stood out for his genuine kindness, patience, and quiet attentiveness. During the 3-day Kora, he struck the perfect balance—respecting our personal space while always being present to help. As a solo female traveler, I especially appreciated his care, including offering to carry part of my load on the toughest trek day—something I was deeply grateful for. Tchimpu, our driver, kept the bus clean, always helped us with suitcases, and his lighthearted, warm sense of humor made long drives fun :)

The pre-trip communication with Gigi, the travel agent in Chengdu, was also seamless—efficient, helpful, and responsive at every stage. at some point, i suspected she could be an AI bot ^_*, she was that efficient :)

I’m already planning my next trip to Tibet—with Tibet Vista and hopefully with Dorjee as my guide again.

Kailash and Manosaravar trip was a life…

Kailash and Manosaravar trip was a life changing experience for me. Our tour guide Lhakdon was a true leader in terms of everything i e. right from giving the proper guidance, advice, prearrangements and preemptive leads. She stood by for everything for me For example, when I felt the high altitude sickness at EBC, she immediately came to rescue by helping me with oxygen cylinder. Also, resolved all issues in arranging a single occupancy room that I was entitled for. After crossing the Dom La Pass, she was waiting for me at the Tea house to further guide me for the remainder of the journey.
I highly recommend Lhakdon and Tibet Vista for any tour if you are intending to take up in Tibet including Mount Kailash and Manosarvar. I am thankful to Tibet Vista for arranging this great memorable tour and helping me with a guide like Lhakdon to make it a success I wish her all good in her career path. Thank you.

Lhakdon was an exceptional guide

Lhakdon was an exceptional guide. She was patient and helpful at all times. She was very knowledgeable and shared this with us. She showed concern for our comfort and health for us during the 16 day Mt Kailash trip. She was able to overcome many challenges that arose ensuring we had the best experience possible.
Tibet Vista was very good at communication and always kept me up to date. The itinerary was designed to ensure we acclimatised to the altitude and I was able to complete all activities. The Kora around Mt Kailash was challenging but I really enjoyed it.
Thanks also to our very competent driver who got us everywhere safely and thanks also to Tashi the trainee guide.

16 Days EBC and Mt Kailash Tour with Yangzom

Booked a 16 day tour to EBC and Mt Kailash during the Saga Dawa Festival. Our guide Yangzom (Grace) and driver Chungda made sure our trip was as comfortable as possible, and went out of their way to ensure everything went smoothly and every members’ request was fulfilled.

Yangzom is very knowledgeable on Tibetan history, and I learnt a lot from her. She also answered all questions our group had.

Thanks to Yangzom and her guidance, all members of our group managed to complete the trek around Mt Kailash, which is no mean feat.

Overall, I enjoyed my first trip to Tibet thanks to the expert guidance of Yangzom and Chungda.

Thank you for making this an enjoyable trip!

My Pilgrimage to Mount Kailash was made…

My Pilgrimage to Mount Kailash was made possible by Tibet Vista and Lakhdon.The dream journey became reality when I did the Kailash Kora.The Drolmala pass phase was extremely difficult but Lakhdon arranged horses ,oxygen and medication and above all moral support through out the journey.
My wife suffered exhaustion on the third day of Kora and Lakhdon was quick to arrange the ambulance and rescue her.
My thank you from my bottom of my heart.

Lhakdon was one in a million

Lhakdon was one in a million. I have traveled extensively but never met a genuine person like this. She has lot of experience every place we visited and was a good storyteller never a dull moment. She gave that personal touch to very moment even the places where we had to stop for lunch was pre booked this is how much she was organized. She is a great asset and truly a great guide

Yangzom the best guide

Yangzom, Grace was absolutely best guide. The tour I did was 16 days to Mt, Kailash and everything was very well thought after. I always felt we were in good hands. Group size was 12 people which was about right, and while I usually prefer independent travel, Yangzom made the experience enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend it.

Small group, good pace!

Enjoyed the small group departure. There are only 12 persons in a group so we move efficiently and no need to rush or wait for too long at every spot. The whole trip was really enjoyable and both the driver Dawa and guide Yangzom took very good care of us. Both tried their very best to meet our requests and ensure that we are well throughout the trip. The hike to Mount Kailash was very challenging but all of us made it thanks to Yangzom. Highly recommend Tibetvista if you’ll want to go Tibet!! Thank you for the wonderful experience! 🙏🏼

16 days Everest + Kailash Kora + Sagadawa celebrations

It was a great life experience to celebrate Saga Dewa @ Mount Kailash and to Kora @ Mount Kailash, so blessed and rejoice.

Our tour guide - Grace / Yang Zom / 央宗, did an excellent job to explain in details for all the places that we went, gave us many insights of Tibet & Buddha history.
She gave full supports during this tour and has 100% warm hearted to accommodate the needs for every single of us, take good care when some guests failed sick during the trip.

Our driver - Chu Da / 冲搭, did a good job for keeping the whole journey safely and smoothly, on time and is a good accompany to have along this tour.

Yang Zom was very helpful

Yang Zom was very helpful! She was flexible and made sure each individual in our 12 person group had a good time (which is no small thing, since each person’s needs were varied and unique). When I was sick she took care of me and helped me at the pharmacy. When some people underestimated the difficulty of the kora she helped them to get porters and a horse. She supported dietary restrictions and made sure we always ordered food what was right for us. All of this ON TOP of being a very knowledgeable tour guide. Her mastery of English, Chinese, and Tibetan helped us to all to fully understand the amazing sites we were visiting. Her expertise of Buddhism was amazing while we were at temples and religious sites and I gained so much more from this tour than I had even hoped. I’m so grateful to have been matched with Grace as our guide and she is an incredible, approachable, and patient guide. She even aided others in other groups when separated from their guides and in need of help. She’s so very well networked with the hotels, guides, porters, drivers, and sites we visited. I can’t imagine a better guide.
