The above private guided tour is tailored for you, your family or your friends exclusively. No other participants will be in your group. In other words, others will not join in your tour and you will not take part into any tours of others on our land services.

Almost every visitor is affected by the high altitude as Tibet is over 3000 meters above sea level with lots of its area above 5000 meters, which brings it the nickname "the roof of the world". Most of the visitors get used to the high altitude by taking a rest of around one to a couple of days, but please, still, pay high attention to your physical health. Several pieces of advice are suggested.

1. People with serious heart diseases not go there and people with light heart troubles follow doctors' suggestion.

2. People with high or low blood pressure follow doctor's suggestion.

3. Try to keep healthy and not to catch a cold before entering Tibet.

4. Try to keep healthy and not to catch a cold in Tibet.

5. The first day arriving in Tibet, suggest visitors not take a bath and smokers not smoke.

6. Drink plenty of water in Tibet for the first few days.

7. Tell in time the guide when you don't feel well and follow guide's advice.

8. The sunscreen, sunglasses or dark glasses and lip creams are advised to protect your eyes and skin, for Tibet's high altitude and the atmosphere allow the sun's solar radiation to strike the earth with unusual intensity.

9. In addition to the normal medications for travelling, just like the Aspirin and Ibuprofen etc, you should bring some high altitude medication. Better ask your doctor for suggestions.

I greatly enjoyed my Lhasa, Tibet Tour. The meals were all very good and my hotel was adequate and fine.

My Tibetan guide, Tashi, was excellent. His knowledge of his native Tibetan culture was outstanding, and greatly added to my Tibetan experience. His English was excellent and made the tours of the monastaries so fascinating. Also, he was able to explain to me the various religious figures and traditions of each monastary we visted. In addition, he explained the traditions and regions of the Tibetan native styles of clothes which I was very curious about. Also, when we visted a typical Tibetan family, it was helpful to speak Tibetan, as I had many questions about the typical Tibetan home.
