What Travelers say about us?

Li  Siwei from Singapore
I traveled with Tibet Nature Tour for two weeks on a private, customized tour of Amdo, Lhasa, and the surrounding area. Together, we created a tour that fit my needs and utilized their vast experience. I was given access to knowledgeable drivers and guides who were familiar with the landscape and who deepened the cultural, historical, and spiritual experience. There isn't a better way to combine planning, assistance, information, and direction, in my opinion. Everything about the plan—the accommodations, the tempo, and the scope—was ideal. Being adaptable is necessary for this environment because unforeseen incidents or schedule changes are probably going to happen. Everything was handled expertly.
