West China Expeditions organized a private tour for me across Tibet, from Lhasa to Ali (Ngari). It worked out very well! Everything went as agreed.
I visited various monasteries and historic sights near Lhasa and also the Guge Kingdom site near Ngari. But the high points of the tour were definitely seeing the views over Mount Everest and Mount Khailash!
Dawa was a very knowledgeable, patient, and helpful guide. He was flexible in optimizing the tour for me, which I appreciate.
I had hoped to also do the Ali to Kashgar section, but that is not permitted this year. So maybe I will come back to do that in a future year!

Travelling in Xinjiang and Tibet is somewhat more difficult to arrange and negotiate than the rest of China. However my trip from Kashgar to Xian and into Tibet was seamless thanks to Adi and his team at West China Expeditions. After travelling extensively over the last 55 years I am at an age when I enjoy a good moan, however, there was nothing on this journey which hadn't been anticipated by Adi and dealt with. Transport and hotels were first class and trip highlights numerous throughout the four weeks.
I spent a few days in Beijing before taking the trans-Siberian train into Mongolia (freezing in late November). Again this was all superbly arranged through West China and their partners.
Many thanks to Adi and his team for their advice, organisation and companionship
which made this trip so memorable.

It was a pleasant trip during winter. Adil, the director, was knowledgeable and accommodating. My family engaged the company's service for the Urumqi and Turpan sector.
Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly. The driver engaged by Adil, Mr Tay, was hip and I liked the music selection he played during our long drive to Turpan. I was very happy to see Adil at the airport with his winsome manner and he had the big brother persona even though we were much older.
One of the most important thing for any tour guide is the ability to engage and know their clients. As a frequent business and social traveller, I would like to be engaged and felt welcome in a foreign land. He made the effort to guide us through the modern bazaar in Urumqi as it was the only place that we could buy local stuff for remembrance. It was our last day after 10 days of roadtrip. It was a nice gesture and we appreciated it.
I would recommend West China expedition to anyone travelling to China's northwest and beyond. Do give this company your support as you have an insightful guide and someone whom you would feel comfortable to be with!

Nothing was too much for this travel company.. the trip started in Tianshui.. not to be missed for its exquisite rock caves high up a precarious set up steps. Then to Lanzhou.. (pay extra to see the secret grottos above the Buddha), Urumqi, Turpan, kuche and Kashgar. We insisted on flights , which meant doubling back but avoided long car journeys. Our guides were patient and adapted to our needs - showing us secret caves once they New what we liked .. the Buddhist art where not damaged is exquisite . We had mostly Han Chinese guides which eased the checking by the security. I can’t recommend this company enough..

Xinjiang is a unique and complex place, with vast distances and diverse landscapes. Even though I'd studied Chinese and had experience travelling in China, trying to arrange hotels in Urumqi felt incredibly frustrating to me. Fortunately, West China Expeditions made it easy: they booked decent hotels for me, helped me customize a trip and provided an interesting introduction to the main sights in both Urumqi and Turpan over the course of several days.

Adi did an amazing job organising all paper work and guides for overland trip with my own car from Nepal through Tibet over the highest road in the world with amazing views. We continued to Kashgar and West China facilitatied all check points, paperwork and permits to get through to the Kyrgystan border. Very responsive and always with full information and answers on all my questions. Fantastic job!

Booked a 10-day silk route tour with Adi, starting in Xi'an and ending in Xinjiang. Adi was really great and efficient at organising the trip. He brought us around in Turpan and Urumqi himself and went beyond expectations to cater to our every needs. He was honest and sincere in sharing with us his culture while making sure we were as comfortable as possible. His affiliates in the other cities that brought us around were amazing as well, and we felt really taken care of by them. Would definitely recommend his services.

Adi is a very professional tour guide. His English is even better than his Mandarin :)
His intergrity, strong sense of responsibility and intimate knowledge of local history and culture have made our trip from Urumqi to Turpan a very enjoyable one! Thank you!

Even with the hard checking and the high control from the Chinese border, we had a nice and smooth crossing in the hands of west China expeditions. Adi was rally helpful, on the distance organisation and at the same moment in China. Very profesional and eficiente.
Thanks a lot for the great experience, and from this adventure we came out like a big family!
