7-Day Lhasa to Kathmandu Overland Tour via Mount Everest Base Camp

A: We take care of the entire permit process for you. To apply for the Tibet Travel Permit, you simply need to provide us with high-quality copies of your passport and Chinese Visa at least 20–25 days before your tour start date. For travelers entering Nepal from Tibet, we will also provide necessary supporting documents for your border crossing at Gyirong Port.

A: To provide an authentic experience close to nature, accommodation at EBC is in traditional Nomad Tent Hotels or the Rongbuk Monastery Guesthouse. These lodgings are basic but cozy, equipped with yak-fur insulation, warm blankets, and a central heating stove. While there are no private showers or running water, it offers an unparalleled location to view the sunset and starry night sky over Mt. Everest.

A: Because the itinerary starts at 3,650m in Lhasa and peaks at 5,200m at EBC, mild symptoms like headaches or dizziness are common. We deliberately spend the first three days in Lhasa with minimal physical activity to allow your body to naturally acclimatize. Our tour vehicles are equipped with oxygen supplies for emergencies, and our guides are highly trained in altitude safety. We advise drinking plenty of water, staying warm, and avoiding alcohol during the first few days.

A: Once you pass through Chinese customs at Gyirong Port, you will walk across the Rasuwa Bridge to enter Nepal. At the Nepalese side (Rasuwa Gadhi), you will clear Nepal immigration (where Visa-on-Arrival is available). From the border, we can arrange or help you board a local transfer vehicle (usually a 4WD jeep due to the rugged, unpaved mountain roads) to drive through the valleys directly to your hotel in Kathmandu.
