    Useful Info

    When is the best time to do the Nepal-Tibet Tour?

    While both Nepal and Tibet travel year-round each season, presenting travelers, trekkers, and visitors with something new to explore, marvel at, and reminisce about, spring and autumn are taken as the best time of months for a combined cultural heritage and nature experience tour.

    Not extremely cold nor hot, both of these seasons are ideal times for visiting even the high-altitude Himalayas and their natural splendor. The weather at these times is also mostly favorable, featuring a mild temperature, cool breeze, low risk of snowfall and rainfall, excellent views of the surrounding hills and Himalayas, and great condition of the roads.

    Spring in Nepal offers you blooming landscapes, especially the country's national flower, rhododendrons, while snow begins to melt in the Tibetan plateau. Likewise, the Dashain festival in Nepal and the Shoton festival in Tibet usually coincide with the months of autumn, further enhancing the cultural experience.

    Do you need special permits for the Nepal Tibet Cultural Heritage and Nature Experience Tour?

    Well, although there are no special permits on regulation for Nepal Tibet Cultural Heritage and Nature Experience Tour unless you are planning to visit some of the highly restricted areas, monuments, or heritages in Nepal and Tibet, it is absolute that you have required visas which are:

    Tourist Visa for Nepal: Except for the citizens of India, for those visiting Nepal for travel, trekking, and other purposes, it is a must that you obtain tourist visas, which are available on arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) or the various entry points at the borders. Conservation Area, Restricted Area, and Trekking Permits are generally applicable if you are heading to specific trekking, climbing, or hiking destinations.

    Chinese Visa, Tibet, and Alien Permit: These three are mandatory for visiting Tibet. Especially Chinese group visa and Tibet travel permit. Alien Travel permits are usually reserved for traveling outside Lhasa, and this combined tour does visit Yamdrok Tso and Shigatse outside the capital city; hence, to make sure you have a hassle-free experience, Adventure Himalayan Travels and Treks arrange the permits on your behalf as part of the package, or you can hire any other trustworthy tour operators.

    What kinds of heritages are forbidden to photograph in Nepal and Tibet?

    Usually, both in Nepal and Tibet, you are allowed to take photographs; however, for those heritages that are culturally, historically, and religiously sensitive, before you click them in your lens, make sure you ask for permission from concerned authorities or be in the company of local guides who will keep on updating about the region's customs, traditions, culture, and treasures so you leave a positive impression for generations to generations.

    For instance, photography is often restricted inside temples like Pashupatinath Temple (where non-Hindus are not allowed inside the temple), some areas of Boudhanath, the National Museum, or the Patan Museum in Nepal. In Tibet, Jokhang Temple, Sera Monastery, and Drepung Monastery may prohibit photography inside the halls.

    What are the foods and accommodations like on the Nepal Tibet Tour?

    Since the Nepal Tibet Cultural Heritage and Nature Experience Tour mostly ventures around some of the most popular travel destinations in both Nepal and Tibet, you can find a wide variety of menus and accommodation options, from local tea houses, three-star hotels, and resorts to the five stars.

    Generally, you can find traditional Nepalese dishes like Dal-Bhat (lentil soup with rice), momos (dumplings), and Thukpa (noodle soup) in Kathmandu and Pokhara, as well as international options like Indian, Chinese, and Continental. Tibetan staple foods like Tsampa, butter tea, yak meat, and Thenthuk are also common in Tibet and the high-altitude Himalayan regions of Nepal.

    The hotels, lodges, and luxury boutiques are also the places that take care of charging electronic devices, wifi, daily showers, and drinking water, sometimes at some additional cost, ensuring a smoother experience.

    Can children go for cultural heritage and nature experience tours to Nepal and Tibet?

    Yes, for children, it can be a life-changing journey that is both culturally and naturally enriching in every aspect. Both Nepal and Bhutan offer during this 12-day combined trip a mix of accessible activities, vibrant cultural sites, and stunning natural beauty suitable for all age groups, including kids and elderly family members, making it a family-friendly and educational journey.

    Much to your delight, it is an overland tour when you will use transportation throughout the journey, saving your time for several days of long treks that can be particularly demanding, and high altitude may raise concerns of acute mountain sickness (AMS) or altitude sickness, making acclimatization an integral part of the journey, which nonetheless is children and family-friendly tour to explore the best of both Nepal and Tibet.
