I. Transportation

Standard tourist buses (7–26 seats) are used; if there are fewer than 4 participants joining the tour in Lhasa, the travel agency will arrange a taxi for transfers at no extra cost.

Vehicles and tour guides for group tours are subject to change; due to limited infrastructure in Tibet, the condition and age of buses may not match those in other regions of China.

Most buses on the plateau lack air conditioning or do not use it; using A/C can reduce vehicle speed, and the temperature difference increases the risk of catching a cold.

Speed

limits apply to certain road sections, requiring stops and waiting times; the bus will pick up other tourists along the way, so please be punctual. Vehicle types are assigned based on the number of passengers. No refunds are provided if a traveler withdraws from the tour midway.

Luggage is limited to one 26-inch suitcase and one carry-on bag per person; excess luggage must be stored at the Lhasa hotel to prevent engine strain.

II. Accommodation

Standard twin rooms are provided throughout the trip; double-bed rooms and extra beds are not available, and breakfast is not included.

Solo travelers may be assigned a triple room, paired with a roommate, or required to pay a single supplement; hotels are assigned centrally and cannot be specified by the traveler.

III. Dining

Breakfast is included at the hotel, along with one complimentary meal featuring local Lhasa cuisine (Tibetan or Nepalese style; no refund if forfeited); all other main meals are at the traveler's own expense. No refunds for missed meals; travelers may bring their own snacks. The tour guide may switch the complimentary meal between lunch and dinner, but the total number of meals remains unchanged.

IV. Tour Guide Services

Guides speaking Chinese, English, or both are provided; bilingual guides accompany groups with both Chinese and international tourists. Tour guides and vehicles may change during the itinerary.

V. Attraction Tickets

Admission tickets for the first entry to Sera Monastery, Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Yamdrok Lake, Shazhuling Monastery, and the Tibetan culture experience are included, and visits to all these sites are scheduled. If visits are impossible due to force majeure, alternative attractions will be arranged through consultation.

Low-season rates are calculated based on winter ticket discounts; no price adjustments (refunds or additional charges) will be made. Tickets for Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple require real-name reservation; please cooperate with the tour guide's arrangements.

VI. Complimentary Transfers (Valid only on the start and end dates of the itinerary)

Gonggar Airport: Free pickup (08:00–22:00) and drop-off (08:30–22:30); transfers outside these hours are at the traveler's own expense. Lhasa Railway Station: Free pickup and drop-off.

Separate charges apply for early arrivals or late departures. Transfers may be shared with other travelers arriving/departing around the same time, with a maximum waiting period of 2 hours; travelers may alternatively arrange a private transfer at their own expense by notifying the agency in advance. Staff will confirm transfer times one day prior.

VII. Complimentary Supplies

【Friendly Reminder for Traveling to Tibet】 Tibet, a charming tourist destination combining history, culture, ethnic customs, snowy scenery, and Tibetan Buddhism, is increasingly favored by tourists from all over the world. However, the following points must be noted before traveling to Tibet:

• Tibet is a high-altitude region. Tourists and their guardians should fully understand the risks of traveling to high altitudes. Tourists with illnesses that preclude travel to high altitudes should not join the tour (such as significant heart, lung, brain, liver, or kidney diseases, as well as severe anemia, high blood pressure, severe colds, etc.). The travel agency has fulfilled its obligation to remind travelers of these conditions, and this should not be concealed during registration.
• Get plenty of sleep 2-3 days before traveling to Tibet. Avoid staying up too late to prevent increased discomfort upon arrival. Tourists with psychological concerns can take Nodikang or Gaoyuan'an, or Rhodiola rosea 6-7 days in advance (during the high temperatures of July and August, if discomfort occurs after taking these medications, reduce or stop taking them). On the day of arrival in Tibet, Gaoyuan'an or Rhodiola rosea can be continued without side effects. For severe cases, intravenous fluids and oxygen therapy can be administered at a hospital to alleviate altitude sickness as quickly as possible. Most tourists acclimatize to Tibet within 1-1.5 days of arrival. Altitude sickness is caused by oxygen deficiency, and the most common symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and insomnia. The most significant factor is psychological, so tourists are advised to relax and not be afraid.
• On the day of arrival in Tibet, rest quietly in your hotel. Avoid showering at night to prevent catching a cold, which could lead to pulmonary edema or worsen altitude sickness due to oxygen deficiency. Even tourists without adverse reactions should avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and smoking to ensure a smooth completion of the rest of the trip.
• At high altitudes, speak softly and walk slowly. If you are not experiencing adverse reactions, drink plenty of water and eat plenty of fruit. Eat only until you are 70% full to avoid putting extra strain on your digestive system. Carry some high-energy snacks (such as chocolate, beef jerky, biscuits, etc.) with you, as high altitude consumes energy and you need to replenish it in time. Tourists who are in a sub-healthy state or have hidden ailments should bring some American ginseng to keep in their mouths to maintain energy and immunity.
• The temperature difference between day and night in Tibet is significant, reaching around 13 degrees Celsius. You must bring a thick coat or sweater, especially in high-altitude areas (such as Tingri and Mount Everest), where nighttime temperatures drop to around 0-5 degrees Celsius in August. Down jackets, thermal underwear, and other warm clothing are essential. Power outages are common in remote areas after midnight; tourists on adventure routes need to bring their own flashlights and toilet paper.
• Due to the vastness of Tibet, transportation between areas is mostly by local tourist buses. On some routes, the travel time may be longer than the sightseeing time. Please be prepared for this before departure and don't be impatient. May the beautiful scenery along the way help you forget your fatigue.
• Traveling in Tibet is a long and arduous journey, with significant climate differences that may cause travelers to experience acclimatization issues. Travelers should bring necessary medications and common remedies such as bandages, cold medicine, or gastrointestinal medication.
• Tibet's economic development lags behind that of mainland China, and local infrastructure needs improvement. Hotels, vehicles, and restaurants are not as readily available. Please be prepared and understanding.
• Tibet uses Beijing time, but there is a two-hour time difference. Therefore, daily routines are also two hours later than in mainland China. Travelers need to adjust accordingly, especially regarding waking up and meals, which are also done on "Tibetan time." Please be aware of the difference.
• While the Tibetan people are simple and honest, some differences may still exist in today's rapidly developing economy. If you are taking photos, please agree on the price with the photographers beforehand. Never negotiate the price after taking the photo to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
• Please pay attention to safety and remember not to leave the group or change the itinerary without permission. When going out at night, please travel in groups and be sure to return to the hotel before 12:00 AM to avoid affecting the next day's itinerary.
• Tibet has strong sunlight and a particularly dry climate; sunscreen, sunglasses, lip balm, and sun hats are essential.
• Tibet is predominantly inhabited by Tibetans; please respect local customs. When visiting temples, please walk clockwise. Photography, hats, and miniskirts are not allowed inside temples. Avoid discussing political issues with Tibetans, and do not eat dog meat, monkey meat, horse meat, or donkey meat. If Tibetans offer tea or alcohol, try to accept it; if you cannot, politely explain and ask for their forgiveness. Do not take the offered khata (ceremonial scarf) to toilets or other unclean places; keep it safe.

Because Tibetan temples and attractions are managed by the management committee and not by the tourism bureau, they may close early or open late. Please be understanding if you encounter such situations.

Entry visa to Tibet: Passport, Permit of entrance to Tibet(included in price, applied by our agency) 

Tibet has strong sunshine and a particularly dry climate; sunscreen, sunglasses, lip balm, and a sun hat are essential. 

Tibet has a rich religious and cultural atmosphere; please dress appropriately when visiting. Also, considering that temples and other buildings often require climbing stairs, flat shoes are recommended for easier and more comfortable movement.
