5.00I had been doing a tour of Nepal with a group of 14 people also organized by them and wanted to meet Tibet. It was the dream of my life: to meet Lhasa, the Potala... I signed up for the Tibet tour with a visit to the EBC, Everest’s base camp. The experience was great. It was a private tour where we were only two tourists plus the guide and the driver. The organization was perfect, the schedules to see all the monasteries and temples, the climb to Potala, the visit to the EBC everything was organized perfectly. The hotels were great and the restaurant recommendations were also excellent. I totally recommend this agency for visits to Tibet and Nepal! If I ever decide that I want to do a trek I'm sure I'll trust them again.

5.00I had an amazing experience in Tibet thanks to Alpine Club Himalaya. The views of himalayas were amazing, we saw many snowy mountains and 8000'sners especially Everest which we visited in its basecamp. But Tibet is not just beautiful scenery is also a cultural experience and we visited many temples in Shigatse Gyantse and ofcourse Lhasa. Our guide was knowledgeable and we learned so much. Hotels and restaurants never dissappointed. Thank you to all the team that made it possible.
