Tibetan travel agency in Lhasa

Most local Tibetan travel agencies in Lhasa, are not very visible on popular search engine like google, bing and etc. It is rather hard to find them directly or you might end up choosing a non local base agency claiming to be one.  The main reason is people working in travel agencies in Lhasa are not tech savvy and websites are something they get for free from their well wishers.

Most owner of the travel agencies in Lhasa are a former Tour guides and they gradually owns a travel agency or run a Travel website.

There is always a significant benefit in choosing a local Tibetan travel agency for the local knowledge, on the field presence in Lhasa and expertise in Tourism. Their many travel companies own and run by non-experienced outsiders. Most of them do not have field experience, which is why many travellers end up in a nightmare when it comes to reality during the tour.

This is why it is a must for every traveller to choose you, service provider, wisely before booking a Tibet tour.

The benefit of booking your Tibet tour with a Tibetan travel agency in Lhasa

1) Local experience and knowledge

Tibetan travel agency is mainly based in Lhasa, and there are either owned by or supported by former Tibet tour guides. This makes them stand tall in front of their counterpart in providing quality services, the most enriching and enjoyable tours in Tibet.

They know the place. They know the local customs and routes like no other non-Tibetan travel agency. So it is a must for you to book a Tibet tour with a Tibetan travel agency in Lhasa or Tibet if you want more significant value for your money.

2) Your money goes directly to your tour provider, which means a more economical tour.

If you book a tour with a local Tibetan travel agency in Lhasa, your money goes directly to your Tibet travel agency. This is because there are no middlemen so that the tour will be more reasonable for you. For example, suppose a tour agency in Nepal pass your tour to a Tibet travel agency, and they (Tibet travel agency) will have to give them the price. The Nepal agency will make some extra in their services, and the tour will be more expensive for travellers.

Sometimes other travel agencies force us to cut the price so that they can add some price as a middleman, which in total, will be equal to the price offered by the local travel agency. This makes you get low-quality service at the end.

Last year we met a french man, who booked his tour with the travel agencies based in Nepal. When he enters China, he realizes that his guide can’t even speak understandable English, and he got a car, which is very old, and all the accommodations are given in local cheap guest house thought out the tour.

He regretted not spending more time on the internet and emails to find an excellent reasonable travel agency in Lhasa. We hope this will not happen to you.

3) You will support the local economy.

Many Lhasa based Tibet travel agency hires local help, from the guide to the crew members like cooks, if you’re trekking in Tibet. Many travellers want to travel in Tibet with local Tibetans.

Almost every Tibetan travel agency hire a local Tibetan guide, cab drivers and crew members. So if you go with the local Tibetan guide, there is always an advantage, like they speak the same language as locals and share the same culture and beliefs. So if in need, there can arrange help where ever you go.

Many of the Tibetan guides know the hotels and other service providers very well, and this would do better quality service for you. If you have very tricky questions about the monastery or any attractions, all the monks or staff in the temple will immediately give you the correct answer.

4) Better service.

In the case of cars, local Tibet travel agencies are in better personal touch with the cab drivers. For guides too, local travel agencies have better personal relations with them. This personal relationship and continuous business relations make the local travel agencies offer you a better guide and better cabs for the tour.

All the local travel agencies have a contract with all the hotels and the guest house. Therefore, if you book your tour with local agencies in Lhasa, there will be able to give you a better price for the hotels due to the contact they make every year.
