Posted on: 11:39 am,July4
In May 2009 my boyfriend and I did a 9 day overland trip with TibetCtrip. After spending quite a bit of time on tripadvisor to research this trip beforehand I thought it only fair to post an update on our experiences.

The whole trip was extremely well organised from start to finish. Our guide and driver were very friendly and Tony, the manager, was very quick in answering any queries beforehand. I think he must have had his laptop by the side of his bed, because sometimes emails came through mid afternoon UK time..

It seemed nothing was too much trouble - they had arranged for a large supply of water when we arrived (which is not meant to be included in the price but very welcome when arriving at high altitude) and our guide got us a few upgrades at hotels. We were also given brand new sleeping bags for our night at EBC, without which we would have been very cold.

Although the trip was quite expensive, it compared well with the quotes I was given by other companies. The guides are Tibetan and very knowlegdeable about all aspects of Tibetan life and most importantly they are happy to talk about this.
Our trip started and finished in Lhasa but we drove across to Shigatse and EBC. I would say that 5 days in Lhasa is one too many, mostly because we were unable to explore anywhere without our guide.

Overall we were very happy with all aspects of the trip and would genuinely recommend them.

If you have any questions about our experiences or TibetCtrip in particular please feel free to contact me.

Hi Tony,

the transfer of guides worked smoothly, thanks for the quick organization.

We also wanted to reiterate that Bimbha has been a truly outstanding guide to us and has given us deep and meaningful insights into Tibetan culture and society that we couldn't have dreamed of. We are indeed very thankful to Bimbha for her exceptional service and great efforts and just wanted to let you know that we have been extremely satisfied with her.

Now we continue our tour to Everest and are already very excited.

Best wishes from Lhatse!

Hi Tony - Thank you so much for all of your help with everything. I really appreciate it.

This was an excellent tour that was flexible so that participants could manage their time as needed. The management is extremely responsible and trustworthy, and is helpful in knowledgeably and effectively dealing with whatever problems come up for participants. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and both he and the driver had very pleasant and easygoing personalities that put everyone at ease. I was completely satisfied in every way with the services and tour. I would be happy to serve as a reference for anyone who is considering going on a tour with this company.

Tibet and Nepal tour,Autumn 2006
I got acquainted with Tony while planning my trip to Tibet and Nepal.He was the first prson to contact me amongst all emailed tour agents.I wanted to have an idividual trip with my 5 years old daughter on my way to India. He took into consideration all peculiarities of our situation and wishes being constantly in a contact with me and giving some essential suggestions for our trip.
At last thahks to Tony and his great job my dream came true when we visited the roof of the world. During our 10 days tour in Tibet we recieved special care and attention fom Tony that made us feel as though we were at home all the time: safe and happy while keeping the spirit of adventures.
It was the first wonderful trip to this holy place and in the future it would be great to go there again, for sure I will rely on Tony's experience and professional service.
If you are planning your trip to this sacred part of the world it would definitely be the right choice to get all arrangements through this company. Make your dreams come true having a great experience in your life in Tibet with the right Tibet tour booking!

Hello Tony,

The tour was excellent and we felt very fortunately to have been able to travel seeing as they may stop the permits in March -- what a shame and we pray all gets sorted out.

The guide and driver were both very courteous and always on time.They were accommodating and willing to make adjustments as needed.

I believe the guides name was Basang.While his English was somewhat limited we were able to understand him,he was very knowledgeable and willing to share historical information and would ask others when he didn't know the answer.

The driver,sorry I don't recall his name.The vehicle was clear and in good condition and he was a safe driver.He had a warm smile and was also very accommodating.

Both made our trip very enjoyable and interesting.

The hotel as you wrote had a great location but we didn't feel it was "ready to serve" perhaps is was too near the Tibet New Years but the elevator was not working,no one at the front desk most of the time, no one spoke English.The breakfast staff was pleasant and tried very hard to communicate.The rooms were clean but most of the time no hot water.

The Cafe right outside the hotel was excellent -- very nice, always willing to give information.

Overall we give the trip to Tibet a very high rating mostly for the people of Tibet they really made us feel welcome.

Thanks again for making it all happen in a short time and we plan to return to Tibet!

Hi Tony,Dawa and Kyidrop,

How are you and how are your staff doing?

Well,re our Tibet tour experience,i am not a good writer to describe it very fancy,but I have little bit to put as below!

After comparison with other online agencies who sell their Tibet tour services online in Chengdu,Beijing,China,etc,at the last minute,three of us decided to travel Tibet for 14-days with you, Tibet Ctrip.Without hesitation,Tibet CTrip provided us urgent booking without a single glitch.We quickly discovered December was a great time to travel Tibet - almost no tourist's(!) and many Pilgrims in Lhasa from the countryside,which was fascinating. Traveling to the different villages was awe inspiring.Our guide (Dawa) and our driver (Kidrop) were ...THE VERY BEST! They did everything humanly possible to make us comfortable and informed at all times.These guys are the real deal,to the core.I hope to make this trip again with Tibet Ctrip some day,with Dawa and Kidrop as my escorts.

Thanks Tibet CTrip whole team,thanks to our guide Dawa and driver Kidrop for the trip of my lifetime!Greatly appreciated.

I can't thank you enough for such a wonderful trip in Tibet. The Ganden to Sayme trek was superb.You and your team were very organized and made me feel at home. The driver was fabulous on those long drives, the cook made the best meals - including home made French fries and the guide’s knowledge and explanation of the sites was excellent.

Hi Tony
We 11 arrived home safely this afternoon and all of us thank you for the amazing tour we all had.. The other 5 also,so thank you for helping them with their change of travel plans. A big thank you is not enough

I look back in amazement,at what we saw and experienced as we ‘went with the flow” seeing a lot of China over those 4 weeks while praying Tibet would re open. How you managed to organise 5 or so days in advance going with the flow after the massive earthquake that you and your family experienced, proved to me what an amazing man(and tour agent)you are.Words cannot express how I feel.Tibet was the sole purpose of coming over, but you showed us China and most of us came home very happy with what we got. The others,well it was not your fault due to the Govt.closing the Tibetan border.

Thank you once again for the most incredible journey. As “spirit stated” I would take 12 ladies into Tibet and how right they were. Even if only 100 years late! Shangri-la was as real to Tibet as any one of us could ever imagine. The temple that looked just like the Potala Palace and mixing with the monks etc was amazing.; we all felt we got to Tibet! Thank you.I have come home feeling satisfied.

Tony, we will carry on corresponding as you are so embedded into my life and wee Joshua will have a Kiwi Auntie for life now.

Love and many God felt wishes and thanks to you and your family

Subject: Thank you Tony
Dear Tony

It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. Your baby is beautiful. I am so sorry to hear all the earthquakes that is happening in China and keep praying that all your loved ones are safe.

I would like to personally thank you for all you have done for ray, Jackie and I. I think out of all three of us I benefited a lot from leaving the group.

It was a very hard decision for me to make,in fact in the end the decision was made for me when all the arrangements were made without much decision with me. I wanted to go to Shangri-la and than break from the group, it was not meant to be.

I love Gail dearly and it was hard for me and I was very torn to leave her in particular,but the journey I went through after leaving was what I was meant to do.

We flew to Cunming and I got very sick so I stayed in bed and rested. The hotel we stayed in was full of energy even Jackie who never feels anything felt energy each time we went into the hotel. I knew that it was something special so we inquired about it and it seems the "queen herself has stayed in the Hotel and during the war it was used as headquarters. After I rested we went to a cultural village where we saw a Tibetan show, the Buddhist temple which was amazing, nothing else compared. We set and chanted with the monks and was allowed to be part of the ceremony and received the water drink with the head monks blessings.

We also experienced the "Yuk" buttered tea (sweet and salty) and Tibetan donut looking thing which was really yummy.

We were also present when the documentary for the games were made in little Tibet. After we left the grounds with so much happiness, we were in little Tibet and it just felt great to be in that atmosphere. I had a major energy shift happen.

We enjoyed staying in cunming for two full days where we experienced flower markets,essential oils, massages and the beautiful surroundings of our hotel,water from my room. We flew to Kathmandu.

From the minute I arrived to the day I left the trip was totally awesome and out of this world and for once I felt like I belonged somewhere in the world. I have come home to appreciated my family, culture and my own self worth as a person and the knowledge that has lied dormant in me for years. I feel very enriched by the experience that I had in Kathmandu personally. I feel I have found myself again, no longer feeling lost. The spiritual journey is a very lonely journey.
I would like to thank you for Birendra for he was great, now the guide he gave us was priceless. He was just so spiritual and we just felt at home with him.

We drove to the boarder and Tibet was an arms reach away, we saw the friendship bridge and we saw the Tibetan getting on with the normal life. At that stage I was content and knew in my heart that I had done everything to get into Tibet. We also went to Little Tibet in Katmandu and experienced what I feel we would have if we were in Tibet. We spoke to Tibetan that are living in Nepal as refugees. We were able to pray with them again. I felt I was in Tibet as I was surrounded by Tibetan everywhere I looked. There are about 50000 Tibetan refugees in Kathmandu so I was amongst them.

The Temples and Suptas we saw was just like nothing I had seen before, the energy in the temples were very high. The suptas that I spent at nearly all day had the original Buddha thumb buried there and for all the Buddhist worldwide it is a very special place to go to.The monasteries were just unbelievable just in little Tibet there was about 20of them surrounding the suptas..

Thank you for arranging everything and making it possible without any hassles the extra that we asked you to do. I understand and feel very guilty that with the earthquake while you were coping with such a horrible/sad situation you seem to be able to help us as well. Tony you have showed me that you are truly spiritual and wonderful person even when you are faced with such difficulties.

May God keep you and your family safe during this ordeal. And you and your family will be in my prayers. Too many wonderful things happened in Kathmandu for me to write down but know that I am very happy with my journey.

Thank you
