Hello, we (2) are very interrested in your “8days Mt. Everes tBase camp overland tour to KTM” We will arrive in KTM on 25th of September and return on 15 th of October.

Victoria Zhu Thu, 09/12/2019

Dear Bernd,

Thank you for your inquiry! This is Victoria, one of the trip advisors of WindhorseTour responding to you. I am more than happy to assist you on your Tibet trip planning.

To enter Tibet from Nepal side, you must prepare about 3-4 working days in Kathmandu to apply for a Group China Visa in Chinese embassy in Kathmandu, however, the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu will be closed from 19 September till 7 October 2019, therefore, we would suggest you may consider entering Tibet from one of the cities of mainland China, we can provide an invitation letter if you need for your personal China visa application.

For more details, I have sent you by email, please check the details and feel free to get back to me for any questions that you might have. With your replies, we can adjust the proposal to meet your requirements best.

All the best!

Victoria

I am looking for trip to Lhasa and base camp. Could you advise the best time to visit so that i get clear views of all the peaks ?

Victoria Zhu Thu, 11/16/2017

Dear Mohan,
Thanks for your inquiry. This is Victoria from WindhorseTour responding to you. I am more than happy to help you with your Tibet tour planning.
Generally speaking, the best times of the year to explore the route from Lhasa to Kathmandu are from May to June and early October when the views of Mt. Everest are usually clear before and after the monsoon brings cloud cover. And more detailed information has been sent to you by email. Please read over the details and kindly share me your thoughts. With your replies, we can offer you some further assistance.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Victoria

Mathias Hantzsch Thu, 04/13/2017

Hi. I want to book a tour from Lhasa to Kathmandu via EBC in end of september 2017. Is there a transit to Kathmandu possible, cause of the damaged Friendship bridge in Zhangmu?

Victoria Zhu Fri, 04/14/2017

Hi Mathias,

Thank you for contacting us. This is Victoria from WindhorseTour responding you.
I would like to answer your question first, as I aware that you have heard the damage of Friendship Bridge and it is still under re-construction, with regrets to share you that it is still closed till now and we are not sure if it will be open at the end of September or later. At this stage, the only transit to Kathmandu is taking flight from Lhasa airport.

Colin Merryweather Wed, 11/16/2016

Hi Guys,

I would like to arrange a trip that allows me to take in Lhasa, Kathmandu, Everest and more importantly the Buddhist temples, Monasteries and to really feel the spiritual culture of the people and the Buddhist monks etc. I would like to do a 10 to 15 day trip and would also like to know the following:

1. I would like to travel alone
2. Do I arrange my own flights to Kathmandu or Lhasa? Are there flights direct from UK? How much are they return?
3. What type of clothes / shoes are recommended at the various times of the year?
4. What is the price going to be approximately? Please break this down into the various costs
5. I want to do this trip in 2018 as my year in 2017 is planned. But I need to know what that overall cost is likely to be
6. I would like to be tattooed by a Buddhist Monk. Is their anywhere on the tour where I can have this done?
7. I am already heavily tattooed but can easily cover up (they are all buddhist related)…is this a problem with travelling in Tibet and Nepal?

I hope you can help as this is the trip I have longed for my whole life

Thanks

Colin

Many

Anita Fan Thu, 11/17/2016

Hi Colin,

Thanks for your inquiry. This is Anita from WindhorseTour.
I would love to answer your question as below:
1. For the flights to Kathmandu or Lhasa, we would love to book the flights to Lhasa, or you can also book it on your own, if you preferred. But we do not organize international flight tickets. For your information, there is no direct flight from UK to Lhasa or Kathmandu. As for the cost of flights to Lhasa, it depends on where you will take the flight. There are daily flights/ trains to Lhasa from Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shanghai etc, Chengdu and Chongqing could be the best choices as they are called the gateway cities to Lhasa with more flights options.

2. In June, light winter clothes are still needed around Lhasa, and you could wear T-shirts in the sunshine, but we suggest that you cover up to avoid sunburn. For shoes, sturdy sneakers or hiking boots are recommend. The solar radiation is more intense the higher you go. Have a coat and gloves for higher mountains. Sunglasses and sun hats can protect you too.

3. With respect to the tattoo, there isn’t any problem for traveling in Tibet or Nepal with tattoo. If you would like to be tattooed by a Buddhist Monk, I would suggest you do it at Kathmandu, as it is not available in Tibet.

4. I would like to share with you that the border Zhangmu between Tibet and Kathmandu was destroyed badly and closed for tourist groups since last April earthquake in Nepal, we are not sure when it will be open again since the geology condition in that area is still not stable. Now the government plans to open another border between Tibet and Nepal called Gyirong, but currently, the exact open date hasn’t been confirmed yet.

I just sent you an email with more details, please kindly have a check and feel free to get back to me if you have any further concerns.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards,
Anita

Tommy Fri, 10/28/2016

Hi, I would like to know if you can do tibet tour on just mountains and nature without the temples. I am keen to do the 8 days for 2 pax. Kindly advice

Alessa Widmaier Mon, 03/21/2016

Hi Lycoris,

we are a group of 3 travelling to China in June and would like to visit Tibet and Nepal.
Your tour sounds like something we are looking for.
Is there a group starting in late June? Or would it only be possible to have a private tour for the three of us?
Please also let me know how much it would cost extra to upgrade to higher class hotels.
Also, I would like to have some advise how to get to Lhasa from Xi’an best/cheapest.

Thank you,
Alessa

Sreyoshi Mon, 02/22/2016

Hi,

My husband and I with our 9 year old son would like to take this trip in early October this year. Do you think that is a good time for the views of the mountain?

Also we would not like to spend 3 days in Lhasa as the itinerary since we are a bit short on time. Please let us know if that is possible. Also is there a way we can go from Kathmandu and come back via Kathmandu as well (instead of reaching from Lhasa to the Base Camp)?

Please let me know if these are possible.

Thanks,

Sreyoshi

WindhorseTour Tue, 02/23/2016

Hi Sreyoshi,

Thanks very much for your inquiry! July and August are the best season to visit Tibet, October is also ok. Yes based on a private tour you can make this tour shorter. For more details I have sent you an e-mail with tour proposal and quotation, please kindly check it.

Best regards

Nicole Fri, 02/08/2013

Hi, a few questions please. 1. Firstly, can I bring my son? He will be 11yrs old at the time of travel – we would like to depart in August or September 2013. The rest of our trip (other countries) still in planning stage. 2. I see we travel very high up – is this a problem for children? If so, is oxygen available for purchase if required? 3. can i take a train from Kathmandu to Lhasa? Otherwise I can organize flights. 4. i work for Qantas Airways in Australia in sales department – do you kindly provide travel industry discount for airline sales staff? If so, what would the discount be? Thank you. I hope to hear from you soon. Nicole

Helen Wang Wed, 02/13/2013

Hi Nicole,

Happy to receive your message. I also sent my reply via email:

It should not be any problem for you 11 year old son to Travel to Tibet. As a parent also I would suggest you to have a general health check prior to departure.
High Altitude effects everyone differently. Age and physcical condition often does not matter, just depends on how each person's body responds.
We wil provided canned oxygen in the car and the guide is trained to ensure you and your family are safe during the entire trip. There are several clinics on the route.
There is no train from Kathmandu to Lhasa.

Looking forward to your reply.

Cheers,

Helen
