About Experience Tibet

We are a locally owned travel agency in Lhasa, dedicated to crafting authentic, responsible, and unforgettable journeys across the Roof of the World since 2015.

Born in Tibet, Rooted in Culture

Experience Tibet Travel was founded in 2015 by a group of passionate Tibetan travel professionals who wanted to share the true essence of their homeland with the world. We are not just a tour operator—we are storytellers, cultural ambassadors, and guardians of the Tibetan plateau.

Headquartered in Lhasa, with branch offices in Kathmandu and Chengdu, we offer seamless travel experiences that combine deep local knowledge with international service standards. Every journey we design is a bridge between travelers and the living culture of Tibet.

From the sacred halls of the Potala Palace to the windswept trails of Everest Base Camp, we believe that travel should be transformative, respectful, and deeply human. That's the Experience Tibet difference.
