A 5 Star Lifetime Experience

globalsoul, Oct 2019
Incredible value providing a 5 star Tibet travel experience with a 2 dollar sign price. An itinerary to Tibet and its Kailash Kora are perhaps the most logistically challenging itinerary possible, especially considering the Tibet permit, innumerable checkpoints, unpredictable weather conditions, high altitidute sensibilities, etc. This tour program & guide completely take over, and so one just has to worry about getting the best photo op instead. Service is incredibly friendly, and made additional requests like Tibet train and hotel room change a breeze. Madeleine (tour consultant) and Mithun (our tireless tour guide to Kailash) were outstanding, infectiously passionate professionals. Kailash is a life-changing experience, so come prepared, fit, informed and respectful. My highest recommendations!

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Dear Walt Shaw, Thank you so much for your kind review. We really appreciated that you could share your experience with us. It is my pleasure to work with you. We're trying to be better and provide our best service. Thank you again. Best regards Madeleine
