We Help You Planning Your Journey

Welcome to Shigatse Travels – your personalized travel planning partner. We are passionate travel experts dedicated to providing authentic and unique travel experiences for our clients.

Our aim is to work with you to design and customise your itinerary, its standards & inclusions to suit you and to provide as much flexibility along the way as is permitted by local regulations. Itineraries can be designed for all areas of the Tibetan Plateau – from Kailash and Guge, even as far as Kashgar in the west to Kham and Amdo in the east; from the northern Changtang to Everest and Nepal. All trips are individually designed and tailored to your specific needs and interests – cultural tours, trekking, camping, sightseeing, hotel and guest house accommodations and transport.

Shigatse Travels works with numerous international agencies as well as offering our own fixed group tours and arranging private, customised tours. All are handled personally from our Lhasa office.

We know that travel planning can be overwhelming, especially in this time of changing regulations, which is why our team handles everything – permits, accommodations, transport … At Shigatse Travels, we pride ourselves on exceptional customer service and ensuring every aspect of your trip runs smoothly. We are available 24/7 to assist you before, during and after your trip.

We are committed to responsible and sustainable tourism practices, ensuring a positive impact on the local communities and environments we visit. Whether you’re traveling solo or with a group, we can help you plan an unforgettable travel experience. Contact us today to get started.

Why Tibet ?

Travel in Tibet offers myriad possibilities. This is a world like no other, with one of the world’s richest cultural and spiritual traditions along with some of the most spectacular landscapes on Earth, including its highest mountain, one of its deepest gorges and is the source of many of Asia’s great rivers.
Here men and deities inhabit the same landscape, both physical and mental. To travel across the incredible Tibetan Plateau is to venture into the realm of the gods. A world where colours are enhanced; the atmosphere a constant reminder that you truly are on the “Roof of the world”.
