Our private tour to Everest Base Camp was the trip of a lifetime! The views of the Himalayas were breathtaking. Our guide, Tenzin, was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable with the altitude. Having the private car allowed us to stop for photos whenever we wanted.
This was an epic 6-day journey. The Potala Palace is a must-see, but the real highlight was standing at the base of Everest. The Karola Glacier was also a stunning surprise. The private tour service was top-notch, handling all permits seamlessly.
The organization was flawless from start to finish. The private car was very comfortable, and our driver was a true professional on the winding mountain roads. Our guide's passion for Tibetan culture made the monasteries of Lhasa and Shigatse come alive.
This private tour is worth every penny for the flexibility alone. We could adjust our pace and stay longer at places like Yamdrok Lake. The turquoise water against the snow-capped mountains is something I will never forget.
I am so glad we chose the private option for this trip to EBC. The guide gave us his undivided attention and tailored the commentary to our interests. The sunset over Everest from the base camp was absolutely magical.

A very professional and memorable private tour. The drive to Everest Base Camp was long but made enjoyable by our guide's stories and the stunning views. The stop at the Karola Glacier was a definite highlight. I highly recommend it!

Frequently Asked Questions
QWill someone help me check in for my flight to Tibet?
In major departure cities such as Chengdu, a guide or local representative may assist travelers with check-in procedures for flights to Tibet, depending on the tour arrangement.
QWhat permits do foreign travelers need to enter Tibet?
All foreign passport holders, including Taiwanese compatriots, must obtain a Tibet Travel Permit to enter Tibet. This permit is issued by the Tibet Tourism Development Bureau. It is separate from a Chinese visa; both a valid Chinese visa and a Tibet Travel Permit may be required.
QCan I apply for the Tibet Travel Permit myself?
No. Individual applications are not accepted. The permit must be applied for through a licensed local Tibet travel agency authorized to handle foreign travelers. If you book a Tibet tour with Tours4fun, our local operator will assist with the application on your behalf.
QHow far in advance should I apply for the Tibet Travel Permit?
We recommend applying at least 30-45 days in advance. During peak seasons or special events, such as the 2026 Mount Kailash pilgrimage year, applying 2 months or more ahead is recommended.
QWhat documents are needed for the Tibet Travel Permit?
Required documents usually include a scanned passport information page valid for at least 6 months, a scanned Chinese visa if required, personal details, and a confirmed Tibet itinerary including route, duration, and attractions.
