Based on Tibet travel agency service experience, foreign tourists would like to take the train to Lhasa, and they would like to board the train in Guangzhou ,Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Xining, and Xian. Therefore, Tibet travel service often provides many suggestions of the entry cities, as well as other advice.
Some tourists would like to plan their Tibet tour itinerary on their own, including the tickets, the route, the accommodation, the car, and even the scenic spots. Some tourists would like to ask Tibet travel agency service to plan a reasonable and cost-effective Tibet tour itinerary.
Therefore Tibet travel service listed some advice of Tibet tour itinerary. If you have limit and short time, we kindly suggest you join our 4-day group tour or private tour, as 4 days circulation of Lhasa Tibet almost covers the main worthy scenic spots in Lhasa city, just in Lhasa city. If there is one more day for you, Tibet travel service kindly suggest you choose Namtso, not Yamdrok Lake, as Yamdrok Lake is on the way to Shigatse. If you have more days to visit Mt. Everest Base Camp, it is reasonable, or Namtso is good for you.
If you would like to go to western Tibet, you'd better spend more than 12 days, as it is very far away from Lhasa Tibet.
In Lhasa and Shigatse, there are many hotels of 3-star, 4-star, and 5-star. But in some areas of Tibet, there are just only hostels and guesthouse, and tents. You are kindly suggested to talk to your Tibet travel agency to know more details.
