It was really an amazing experience to travel with Wonders of Tibet. Their team is very professional, helpful and considerate! My friends and I have the privilege to visit Tibet with their support along the way! The itinerary is very well designed, we received a small guide book with maps, restaurant suggestions and Tibetain language which is really helpful. Communication is very smooth the whole time, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Tibet!

Personalized service every step of the way enabled our group of 9 to have an incredible 8-day Lhasa EBC tour together! Gyalsten waited patiently with us for over a year, always promptly responding to our requests for information, and processed our permits seamlessly. Kalsang took care of all the behind the scenes details, so that we had no worries. And our guide Dhala was amazing. His calm nature made security check-points so easy. His knowledge of everything was incredible; we really learned so much. And his warm heart and contagious smile made us feel so welcomed. Wonders of Tibet truly enabled me to have a wonderfully amazing trip!

I travelled with Wonders of Tibet on the 15 Days Mount Kailash Pilgrimage Tour. Every member of the team that I met delivers high standards of service as mentioned by other clients in their reviews.
Upon arriving in Lhasa, 平措 and 丹增 picked me up from the airport, and they brought us (a small group) for sightseeing in Lhasa over the next 2-3 days. I learnt so much about Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism, much thanks to 平措 (who was very patient in repeating himself).
After Lhasa, the group travelled towards the west with Dhala and 强巴. As a passenger, I can confirm that 强巴 is very skilled in navigating various roads and terrains. We especially notice and appreciate how he proactively wipes the windows at the back, so that we could take photos from the backseat through clean windows. Our guide, Dhala demonstrated breadth and depth in his lived experience. From lighthearted conversations such as teaching me how to express my hunger and tiredness in Tibetan, to his knowledge and practice in Buddhism, I left the tour knowing that I was gifted an authentic experience with sincerity that could not be replicated elsewhere.
Can't speak highly enough of you guys. Looking forward to travelling around Tibet with the team again in the future :)

We travelled from 1-15 May 2024. The 15 day Mt Everest Base Camp and Mt Kailash. Our guide Tashi, was excellent in every way. His incredible knowledge and experience was outstanding and because of this he was so pleasant to be with. Our group was 9 from very different countries. All nice people and the trip went very smoothly. We were the eldest, 77 and 72 but we did make the first day of the Kora and because of clear weather we saw. Mt Kailash in her full glory. Also Mt Everest was clearly visible the day we were there. Thanks to Gyaltsen for his excellent communication before the tour, we were well prepared. He miraculously arranged our permits for this tour, which was rather difficult considering our age. We saw everything and the tour was great. If we were younger we would do the trip again perhaps in September although May was not really so cold. The Manasarovar Lake was extremely special and we had a lovely warm day to enjoy the peace of this beautiful place. A special thanks to Tashi, with 19 years experience, he was extremely patient, respectful and helpful in all ways. A true Tibetan with humility and dedication to making sure everyone was well cared for. We would recommend Wonders of Tibet to anyone wishing to discover these special places in the Himalayas. Hamid and Glenda (Austria)

I joined Wonders of Tibet for a 15-day Mt. Kailash tour in August 2023 and am very impressed with the high standard of organization. Very clear and prompt communication long before our arrival in Tibet and well designed itinerary to ensure we are fully acclimatised and visited all the iconic sites (EBC, monasteries, lakes etc). We certainly wouldn’t be able to complete the kora trekking in Mt. Kailash without the caring and guidance from everyone in the team. A huge thank-you to Gyaltsen, Kalsang, Gelek and Mr. Driver (sorry forgot his name) who made my trip of a lifetime come true! Highly recommended.

Tibet is beautiful! Definitely heaven on earth. It has lovely rivers and snow capped mountains, but what's even better are the people. My husband and went with a customised trip in Lhasa and EBC. Wonders of Tibet team( Gyaltsen, Kalsong and Gelek) were extremely responsive, accommodative, helpful and knowledgeable. Gyaltsen almost always responds instantaneously! He guided us through the entire process including visa application to arranging a personalised tour. Kalsong was so gracious to greet us at the hotel and provide us with valuable information about Tibet and the tour( specifically about altitude sickness). It was so nice of him to take my husband and me to the night view of Potala palace. It was just amazing. Gelek was extremely knowledgeable about Tibet and the Buddhist culture. It felt they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable.
We are vegetarians and Gelek made sure that he spoke to the the restaurants in Tibetan to help us. There are many options including choosing restaurants that have Nepali chefs. EBC was just breath-taking and so were Namsto and Yamdrok lake.
Kalsong and Gelek were there even to wave us goodbye just before the security check at the airport! Would highly recommend them if you are considering a trip to Tibet and more importantly they are a Tibetan tour agency - so even better :-)
Sincere thank you Gyaltsen, Kalsong and Gelek and of course the team! Trip of a lifetime.

First of all, I want to say thank you to all staff members of wonders of Tibet who helped me achieve my dream and took good care of us.
The service I received from them is extraordinary and I felt like being home. We took 15 days Mount Kailash trip to Western Tibet and it was best experience full of information about history, culture, Tibetan Buddhism and daily life of it’s people. We really enjoyed our trip. It is most amazing place and people who I met are beautiful.
The first impression was greetings by our guide Kalsang and his driver. They took care of us from the beginning till the end. They also offer some extras without additional fees. We had free welcome dinner,
expensive altitude medicine and water for whole trip. We also had private airport pick up and not shuttle buses that are more common. I know these are small things but it really makes a difference.
We compared many other agencies before booking this tour and I’m happy we visited with Kalsang and wonders of Tibet.
I planned this trip for a long time. Tibet is a must see. It is completely different from other places I visited. Many locals are still living according to their traditions, but cities become more modern. We stayed in comfortable hotels in Lhasa and Shigatse, tried local food, saw Tibetan mastiffs and yaks, took lots of photos, made friends and lasting memories. Trekking around Kailash was a little challenging but we completed it thanks to guide’s support.
I definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Gyaltsen and his crew did a great job - they secured permits and arranged logistics with ease. I walked away from my time in Tibet with great memories and stunning photographs. The guides and staff were kind, attentive, and welcoming. Unfortunately, my travel companion, listed among these reviewers as "Jchen229," was difficult to travel with, to say the least - his review and rating are unfair. The tour operators did their best for him; the fact that his review is the only "poor" rating among more than a hundred others that praise Wonders of Tibet indicates his bias. Of course, we're all entitled to our opinions - his just shouldn't be trusted!

My brother and I took a 14 day trip to Mt Kailash and Lake Mansarovar with Wonders of Tibet and they took care of all our permit needs for the trip.
Our tour guide Tashi was fantastic during the whole trip and was with us for the 3 day kora, laying down the path for us to complete the trek and making sure we are ok.
Our driver had amazing driving skills with the narrow two way lanes in some mountainous route s and we were always on time at the places we were heading.
The whole trip was filled with amazing sights of the Himalayas and the trek itself was a personal achievement as well as an item off the bucket list. The tour is not for everyone esp those not used to physical exertion in high altitude but we had the good fortune of being in a small group with only another Indian couple from US and they were a very sweet couple with many travel stories of their own.
All in all, an unforgettable trip that open up your mind to so many different experiences!

As a Spiritualist, I have always been interested in Buddism & when the opportunity arose to visit Lhasa in Tibet after touring China for three weeks, then I 'seized the day'!
Almost five hours to fly from Shanghai to Lhasa on China East Airways.
Met by Yankste who was to be my local guide for three days.
Excited by what Tibet had to offer! The Capital is one of the highest cities in the world & reaches 3,700 metres set high in the Himalayas.
Staying at the Gang Gyan Hotel in the old part of Lhasa was perfect for visiting the Potala Palace which has been the home of many of the Dalai Lamas. The present one being exciled in the 1950's & now living in India.
Next I visited the Jokhang Temple which is encircled by the Barkhor, a cluster of narrow streets that acts as a circle of pilgrimage for Buddists. This most sacred temple of Tibet dates back to the 7th Century & is a simple blend of Indian, Chinese & Nepalese designs & is a mix of stunning colours both inside & out.
After a visit to the Sera Monastery on the following day, I realised that my knowledge of the Buddist religion was growing minute by minute.
Thank you to my lovely guide Yangste who was provided by Wendy Wu tours.
Thank you for your friendship, knowledge & passion for your country.
The memories of Tibet & the wonderful, smiling & contented inhabitants will remain with me forever.
