7 Days Lhasa to Everest Base Camp Tibet Tour

In April 2019 we (me and my girlfriend) did a 7 days trip which started off with 2,5 days in Lhasa and some monastery’s close by, and then took us over the breath-taking Tibetan highlands via the Everest basecamp to the Nepalese boarder, where another car picked us up to drive us to Kathmandu. This great mix between on the one hand the mysterious and still very present traditional and friendly Tibetan culture with all its rituals, monasteries, temples and prayer flags and on the other hand the stunning view off the vast Tibetan mountains, where being over 5000m is almost normal and the top off the world only seems to be a glimpse away, is something which is worth every journey there, no matter how long it is. Best you don`t fly directly into Lhasa but acclimatize a bit beforehand, else the first days could give you a bit of a “headache”. We took the train from Beijing and had a stopover in Xining where we also did a very nice daytrip into the nearby hills (up to 3800m). If you plan a similar trip, maybe try to stay one or two days longer in Lhasa and also on the road trip in the Tibetan highlands, there is plenty to see and not enough time (unfortunately we did not have these additional 2 days).
One important thing why this trip was such a great experience surely was Anup and his counterpart in Tibet, Norbu. They did an absolutely amazing job organizing this whole trip, starting with the train tickets from Beijing and ending up in Kathmandu. Anup was extremely responsive throughout the whole organization phase, which helped us a lot to get a good feeling about what was coming up. Also it was important for us to get a Tibetan guide in Tibet and not a Chinese one. You could really feel that Himalayan Windows is still a small company which engages in a personal relationship with its clients and is very concerned that they will have the best time possible – and this is worth a lot from my past experiences. I would give 6 stars if it was possible.

I was very impressed with the trekking arranged from Himalayan Windows.

Anup is so friendly and willing to help with all the query and info before the trek and also during my visit.

This was my solo Trek and Anup arranged guide and porter.

My guide was Santosh and porter was Robin ,who were very friendly and took care of all the necessities during the trek.

They both done a amazing job in my impossible journey possible.

Overall trip was fantastic and everything went well a per the assurance from Himalayan Windows.

Anup did best in organizing my trip.

Himalayan Windows is highly recommended for any tours.

Thank you so much for the wonderful trip.

I had a great 15 days Trek to Everest Base camp and Chola pass, When I look back Anup from Himalayan Windows and my Sherpa Sonam and Porter Mankumar played a big role in making my trip a well-organized and worry free.

I am really thank full to Anup to be available to me from Day 1 of meeting him online and answering all my questions and give me the confidence to do my first Himalayan trek.

I would recommend Himalayan windows to everyone who is looking for a worry-free experience, especially for first timers who may have a lot of questions and don’t have the confidence. Anup is very patient in explaining all your questions and will make you comfortable and ensure your needs are fully taken care, he is 100% reliable and committed to make your trip a memorable one

Thank You, Anup again for all your support.

What else we can expect more than the service of HimalayanWindows Tours. They are simply RELIABLE & AFFORDABLE! My first visit to Nepal and Trek to Everest Base camp (10 Days) was one of the unforgettable moments because of HW team! Due to our time constraint, we had to complete the trek within 10 days. But, we were physically fit and had done other high altitude treks earlier in India. Our guide Rajan was very professional and friendly. We had very wonderful moments during the trek. The mountain views are splendid. I would strongly recommend HimalayanWindows Tours if you are planning for your adventure trekking in Nepal.

I had an incredible experience with my short tour to Tibet with Himalayan Windows Tours. It was excellent customer service all the way around, from my booking agent, to my driver, and from my tour operator to my fantastic tour guide. Everyone was very knowledgeable and made me feel like one of the family. I highly recommend Himalayan Windows Tours to for your next adventure. You are in for a pure delight.

Anup made organising this trip really easy. Quick and efficient replies to emails and he came in person to deliver the papaerwork, visa and sort out the payment. Excellent service which added to the overall tour. Bhutan itself was an amazing experience and thoroughly recommend, the guides were great ambassadors for their country and i had a short but excellent time.

My wife and I recently used Himalayan Windows to coordinate a short trip to Bhutan. Anup was kind, prompt and professional throughout the process. He arranged a 3-day, 2-night trip that packed in the best of Bhutan for the time that we had. We enjoyed the flight over Mount Everest, the incredible dzongs, and the trek up to the Tiger’s Nest monastery. The price was very reasonable, considering the package included a driver and a guide who took us everywhere. Himalayan Windows made sure that our travel visas and airline tickets were ready when we arrived.

Anup also coordinated a hike for us from Nagarkot to Dhulikel in Nepal. Once again, the price was reasonable and the experience was incredible. Our guide and driver were knowledgeable, courteous and accommodating.

We plan to return to Nepal soon, and will once again rely on Anup and Himalayan Windows to provide a great time at a great price.
