We really enjoyed this trip. I won’t deny that I was a little apprehensive booking it, re overnight train sharing with strangers and EBC accommodation. The train was comfortable and enough space for 4 in our carriage. Western style toilet on board was fine too. You also get amazing scenery from the train!
At EBC they have electric blankets!! We didn’t use them as the bedding was warm enough. The sunrise over Everest was spectacular, we had clear views and it was a great way to mark my birthday.
All the hotel rooms/beds were very comfortable.
We were a group of 15 ranging in age to 70+ and all coped with the altitude, no supplementary oxygen needed. This was down to following the great advice from our National Guide.
A good mix of free time and guided tours with the local guides, who seem to be experts on every Buddhist temple!
Most meals were delicious but could get a bit repetitive and there was always plenty of food but we never knew how many dishes would be served at a lazy Susan which meant full up by the time the best dish was brought out, usually Yak.
There is a lot of walking/steps so a good level of fitness helps. So pleased we did this trip.

A very well thought out itinerary starting with the highest railroad in the world to help ease you into Lhasa. For me the iconic Potala Palace didn’t disappoint. Each monastery we visited had a different special feature and then the view of Everest at the base camp was majestic even though the scenery was stunning all the way with blue lakes and white topped mountains as background. Huge variety of food and tea!!

A great tour, everyone enjoyed it. And everyone worked as a team. We had our up,s and down,s , and coped with the train journey, and looked forward to our trip to Lhasa and Tibet. All accomodation was good, with a few hick-up.s over faulty rooms. But all sorted by the Tour Guide, who has done us proud. The tour was a bit challenging for the older folk, but we all managed to see an amazing amount of things. The highlight being Mt Everest and in awe of what we were seeing! The food was very good, as was the Local Tour Guides who showed us around. In all, very good.
The other Wendy groups that we bumped into were struggling after flying into Lhasa and not being aclimatised for touring!
But for me, a good trip.

Well organized. Excellent tour guides.
