9 German Travelers to Kailash 2023

First of all, gratitude to Mareike (Group Leader) for reaching out to us about the tour to Tibet.  After numerous exchanges via WeChat, the tour was officially confirmed on April 28th, with the departure from Beijing to Tibet.

The Journey Begins 

We had a group of 9 travelers, and 5 of them planned to take the train from Xining, for which Tibet Travelers managed to secure last-minute tickets. The remaining 4 travelers opted for a flight, which was also booked by Tibet Travelers.

At the beginning of 2023, we were fortunate enough to be one of the first travel agencies to obtain the Tibet travel permit to Mount Kailash. Our travelers were delighted that we managed to obtain the train and flight tickets, as well as the Tibet travel permits, all in a timely manner. 

Finally, on the afternoon of the 28th, we gathered at our favorite hotel near the old town, Kyichu Garden Restaurant Hotel, where we discussed the tour details and the weather conditions in the Ngari Mount Kailash region.

On April 29th, 2023, our journey to western Tibet Ngari began, led by our professional local Tour Guide, Gelek. 

Usually, there are no issues with the kora around Mount Kailash in May. However, due to heavy snowfall this year, the local authorities decided to postpone the opening of Mount Kailash Kora until May 4th. 

During this time, our travelers stayed in Darchen, engaging in day hikes from Lake Manasarovar to Nagtso Lake, as well as exploring the Gangdrak Monastery Serlong in the inner Kora area.

Although we were unable to complete the kora due to the excessive snow, our travelers were delighted with the flexibility of our tour. 

We decided to spend a few additional nights near Mount Kailash and visited the Guge Kingdom, which was a favorite destination for some of our travelers. 

Our tour concluded with a flight from western Tibet Ngari Ali Shiquanhe city to Lhasa, which lasted for approximately 2 hours. We then spent two more nights in Lhasa to visit the Potala Palace. 

On the rooftop of Lhasa City View Restaurant, we presented our travelers with small Tibet gifts as a token of our gratitude, which they greatly appreciated.

Conclusion 

In conclusion, I would like to extend a special thanks to the lovely Mareike and the kind-hearted German travelers for their love of Tibet's beauty and for choosing Tibet Travelers. 

We eagerly look forward to welcoming all of you back to Tibet in the near future. It was a pleasure arranging your tour and ensuring your enjoyable experience in Tibet.

Thanks for writing a great review for us on Trip Advisor.

May you all be healthy and happy! Greetings from Tibet once again.
