    icon

    Namtso is the highest and the most beautiful lake in the world, and you may feel awesome while standing beside her, as if place yourself in a blue world, the eyes are full its divine. Somehow, the only regret is that from late october, Namtso started to snow and get into ice period in an all-round way, the tour-bus can not enter into the scenery, which means Namtso is certainly can't be visited in winter.

    icon

    Essential items include warm clothing like thermal layers, a heavy coat, gloves, and a hat. Also, bring sturdy, insulated boots for walking in snow. Due to strong UV radiation at high altitudes, don't forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and lip balm. Other useful items are a good quality moisturizer, a first-aid kit, and any necessary medications.

  • icon
    10. Is it easier to get High altitude sickness if visiting Tibet in winter?
    icon

    In response to this problem, I would like to say that there will be a little impact, but not that much. Because if you got high altitude sickness, regardless when to go, you will get affected anyway. The best way to prevent high altitude is depend on how your physical can adapt with the environment and always maintain a positive attitude. By the time you reached there, you may discover it is actually not as horrible as you would imagine.

Trip to Tibet
We used Asia Odyssey to arrange a tour (just for two) to Tibet, including train from Xi'an to Lhasa, hotel and transfers in Lhasa, a car + driver + guide there for a day, flight back to Chongqing and, of course, the vital Tibet Entry Permit. There was a little initial difficulty in making our bespoke requirements clear to them (worth checking the draft itinerary carefully) but once our needs were understood, everything went extremely well. Jasmine was our co-ordinator. Communications were clear, our trip went according to plan, costs were as initially stated and payable by international credit card, our Tibet Entry Permit was delivered by post to our hotel in Xi'an. In addition, Asia Odyssey proved flexible and agile. Firstly, they were happy to delay agreement of the contract while I consulted my doctor about altitude sickness issues. Secondly, the train tickets we wanted from Xi'an to Lhasa were unavailable but the company sought alternatives, got round a quirk in the China Rail booking system, and bought tickets for the same train but from a previous station (at no extra cost to us) - which worked fine. And our guide in Lhasa was more than helpful, accommodating our unusual photographic requests, taking us exactly where and when we wanted, and answering all our questions. I would use their services again.

Enchanting China and Tibet Tour
We recently returned from a 21-day trip to Hong Kong, China, and Tibet, organized through Asia Odyssey Travel (asiaodysseytravel.com). From the moment we landed in Hong Kong until our departure from Shanghai, the level of care, assistance, and coordination provided by the Asia Odyssey team was simply outstanding.

Though our time in Hong Kong was short, the organizers managed to fit in a number of key highlights, including a sampan boat tour and a visit to a Michelin-starred dumpling restaurant that felt more like a palace. From there, we took a high-speed train to Shenzhen, followed by a trip to Guilin—a charming town famous for its rice noodles. Our journey continued with a river cruise to Yangshuo, where we explored a picturesque village, soaked in the local culture, and rode e-bikes through rice paddies, streams, and winding paths.

Next, we took a train to Kunming, a vibrant city with incredibly friendly people. After enjoying the city, we flew to Lhasa, Tibet—a long-held dream of ours. Asia Odyssey took care of the necessary permits and flights, making the experience seamless. Tibet exceeded every expectation. Lhasa was clean, organized, and safe. We spent nine days in the region visiting Shigatse, Basum Tso Lake, Yamdrok Lake, and even a Himalayan glacier. The natural beauty—snow-capped peaks, endless lakes, and lush landscapes—was breathtaking.

One of the highlights of our trip was the 18-hour train ride from Lhasa to Xining. It was a peaceful, scenic journey through untouched nature—something everyone should experience. Oxygen was provided on the train, buses, and even in hotels, ensuring a comfortable trip. Though we didn’t spend much time in Xining, we found it charming and refreshingly cool, even in summer.

Our final destination was Shanghai, where we spent four days enjoying luxury, modernity, diverse cuisine, efficient high-speed trains, immaculate metro lines, and countless attractions. It was the perfect finale to our incredible journey.

From a traveler’s perspective, China is a remarkable destination. The infrastructure is world-class—we visited remote areas in Tibet without experiencing a single power outage or mobile network issue. All taxis were electric, the air quality in Shanghai was comparable to Florida, and greenery was abundant in every city. Cleanliness and safety stood out. We never once felt unsafe, and we didn’t see homelessness or begging anywhere we went.

A special thanks to the local guides in each city—they were knowledgeable, hospitable, and always one step ahead of our needs. And most importantly, a huge thank you to Jojo, our dedicated agent and point of contact throughout the trip. She was always in touch, ensured smooth transitions between destinations, and even upgraded our hotels to 4-star or better accommodations.

We wholeheartedly recommend Asia Odyssey Travel for anyone planning a trip to Asia. Go with an open mind—you’ll be amazed.
