Nepal Tibet Tour

Nepal Tibet Tour Packages

The planning of a trip to Nepal and Tibet can be accomplished by two different ways. Are you going between Nepal through Tibet and vice versa? Or do you go to Tibet back to Nepal? Which is the better route to travel? We suggest the route that connects Tibet to Nepal instead of the reverse route for the best option to follow.

Tibet through Nepal Tour

One of the most important factors to consider when looking to embark on an overland journey in the Tibetan plateau is the time. In addition, the journey overland between Nepal to Tibet will take more duration than the trip to Tibet towards Nepal.

If you’re thinking of beginning your journey in Nepal and then traveling via land to Tibet and Tibet, then you’ll require an additional 3 to 5 days for the trip. It is at minimum three days to get the entry visa needed to go in to Tibet in Nepal. This Chinese Group Visa can only be issued after you arrive in Kathmandu because it requires your passport’s original form and can take up to three working days for processing. The visa must be requested through your travel agent. That means instead of rushing off to Tibet when you get to Nepal you must be patient for at least three working days prior to your departure on the plateau.

Sickness and Altitude

The highest region on Earth, Tibet Autonomous Region has an average altitude of 4,500m. But, Nepal, which neighbors Tibet close, is the lowest altitude. If you travel between Kathmandu to Lhasa it is possible to experience an abrupt increase in altitude throughout the journey. This means the chance of suffering from altitude sickness increases because of the rapid ascent upon entering the Tibetan plateaus from Nepal.

Tourists are able to enter Tibet via Nepal through Gyirong Port, and go further into Tibet via Gyirong County which is about 100 km away from the harbor. While Kathmandu is located at 1400 meters in altitude, Gyirong Port lies at an elevation of 1,850 meters. Gyirong Town, which is just 25km of the Port has elevated to 2,700m higher than sea-level. The majority of Kathmandu is the first stop on Tibet tours include an overnight stay here prior to heading towards EBC and Kailash by Gyirong County which stands 4,200 meters above sea level and is about 70km distant from Gyirong Town.

If you’re traveling to Everest Base Camp on the Nepal tour, from Tibet tour, there’s an increase of 2,700m without the need for a full day to get used to. When you leave Gyirong Town, you ascend quickly through the Gyirong Valley to more than 4000 meters in only 70 km of driving and then drive straight to EBC with 5,200m elevation. You will then travel over Gawula Pass (5,211m) back before arriving at Tingri (4348m) then spend the over night there. In the days to come you’ll pass Gyatsola Pass (5,248m) and Tsola Pass (4,600m) on the route up to Shigatse (3,900m) as well as ascend over Simila Mountain Pass (5,150m) and Gampala Pass (4,998m) on the journey between Gyantse (3,977m) up to Lhasa.

If you are traveling to Kailash from Nepal and after leaving Gyirong Port, you will travel through Zhongba County (4,772m) via Gyirong County and stay overnight there, before making your way towards Lake Manasarovar at 4,590m and Darchen at 475 meters.However should you be traveling through Tibet to Nepal and back, you will have plenty of time to adjust to the elevation change from EBC as well as Mt. Kailash. Once you reach Lhasa it is possible to adjust to the higher elevation for a few days, before moving out over the plateau. This is crucial in the journey from Tibet to Nepal in the sense that you’ll rise to altitudes of more than 5,000 metres at different spots throughout the region.

After you leave Lhasa After leaving Lhasa, you will travel through Gyantse (3,977m) as well as Shigatse (3,900m) then spend the night there in order to climb slowly. After that, you’ll be able to reach Tingri at 4,390m before arriving at EBC at 4,390 meters. From EBC the journey is downhill until Kathmandu making the journey easier in terms of elevation.

Nepal up to Tibet for a night at EBC

If you are traveling across Lhasa to Kathmandu since you’re well-acclimatized at high altitudes prior to leaving Lhasa it is also possible to get more used to the altitude when you travel by land and gradually ascend until you get to EBC. That means that since you will be well-acclimatized at the time you arrive there, you are able to spend the night at EBC which is the base camp located at the base of the world’s tallest mountain. This will allow you to capture some stunning sunrise and sunset photos of the glowing orange light on the mountain’s slopes. Also, you can see the many stars visible at this height as well as all of the stars in our galaxy which is that is, the Milky Way. You can also stay in a traditional tent of nomads at the well-known tent guesthouses.When travelling across Kathmandu to Lhasa it is not possible to get the additional days needed to adjust to higher altitudes. This means you will not be able to stay overnight in the camp at base. Instead, you’ll leave from Gyirong and travel towards the camp and leaving later in the afternoon, stopping for the night at Tingri in the route to Shigatse. This means you are missing out on one of the most exciting aspects of an excursion to EBC.

trekking in nepal- langtang goshainkunda lake trek

Complete Guide for Langtang Valley & Goshainkunda Trek

The journey started in a small group of fifteen members’ .Our enthusiasm and enthusiasm for the adventure was at an all-time high. We’ve all completed our thesis, and that sleepless night, the jury is coming to an end. So the call from the mountains in Nepal, Langtang Region was an extremely needed break for each of us.

Our journey began by driving 6-7 hours to Kathmandu towards Syaprubesi. We had planned to begin our journey on the next day, with a warm-up of about 4 hours before we reached our place of stay for the entire day in Khamjing.

The second day began with everyone laughing as we played around and eating lunch in the mountains, with horses roaring on the property. We then put on our bags, held the stick, put on our cap, and began our walk beginning from Khamjing towards a goal of River side. Since the group was a big group, we would always end having to split into smaller groups, which is why we had to indicate a place prior to the walk to sit and wait for everyone to arrive and that served as our lunch and resting place. After a long walking, Nepali thali served with the same authenticity and taste of the locals is sure to give your stomach with a happy glow. Food is delicious and easy to prepare on any hike. Be prepared for the fact that the shops are limited in quantity of electricity. So, better make use of your electric gadget in an appropriate manner.

We were always able to look at our loved ones, and walk around and choose the best place to stay in accordance with the needs of each. A long , muddy path that gives you an amazing grassy area within the strenuous walking, those spots just cheer you up so that during the night you will all walk more closely and spend time together by eating, singing and walking. Looking at your final destination in the day will make you feel in a state of relaxation. Everyone will gather around an unending fire of balms and ointments to ease another muscle. When you go on a trek an appropriate mindset that is to live and bear whatever conditions you’re given must be developed. We were able to go outside since all the rooms were booked at one station but experienced the most unforgettable memory of the trip.

From riverside from the riverside to kyanjinggomba in that it varies in altitude and distance, we have to walk making our bodies adjust to the conditions and air. We had lunch in Langtang Valley and then went to KyanjingGomba In ignorance of the symptoms caused by altitude, we continued walking, not adjusting our bodies, since we’ve seen more open and flat paths for a long time and in a rush we continued walking. The hustle caused my friends suffer from the effects of altitude sickness, so we were able to bring them back to the langtang valley. A different group of our group has reached Kyanjinggompa. While we hustle and run we see white drops of white cottons rushing everywhere from the sky. We all experienced it for the first-time. The snow made us forget discomfort in the legs, nausea, and everything else in just a few minutes.

The next day, me and a group of our friends set off from the Langtang Valley towards kyanjinggomba, to get to our friends. Help and hospitality from locals was always appreciated in the process of stabilizing our sick friend to reaching out to our friends from our other group. The journey to Kyanjing, to see mountains, rivers all eased our suffering and stress away. We met with our group of friends, went on a hike to kyanjingri and then stayed for the night in the kyanjinggomba. We were fortunate enough to witness with the Sherpa wedding on the same day. Being able to experience a different culture on any trip is a great feeling. We had a great time laughing, dancing, and playing around. The walks were all worthwhile by the beautiful surroundings of Kyanjing.

The idea of a trek that enthralled us from the beginning, but the same trek once it’s completed will help us remember it by the numerous areas.We were able to experience, learn and experience cultures not yet known to us while making new acquaintances. In the end, the peace and tranquility that brought us to the trail was achieved in a considerable. We were able to observe different behaviors of nature during our trek magnificent mountain covered with snow on a the rain, shattered snow on hills during the sun grassland, grassland and a ground location and from glaciers to rivers Mother Nature revealed the different patterns she has in her life. In the end, our 15 people learned more about the teamwork and were gifted with the memory of a lifetime which will inspire us to take the next adventure in the near future.
