Client’s Reviews and Testimonials

I’ve always wanted to visit the places where the great Tibetan gurus Rinpoche and Milarepa lived and meditated. I wanted to see the ancient monasteries and do the Kora around Kailash.
Thanks to our experienced guide Tashi and Wonders of Tibet for everything I planned worked out.
It was an incredible experience of communicating, learning about the history of Buddhism, and doing the Kora around Kailash with the knowledgeable guide Tashi and a small group of people.
And most importantly, I had the opportunity to stay, feel, and be filled with the energy of the ancient places where the great people of Tibet lived.
I took away very pleasant memories that will stay with me for a long time.
With respect and gratitude to Tashi and Gyaltsen, Wonders of Tibet!

Déjà, leur excellent site web est excellent, plein d’informations judicieuses.
Nous avons pris le programme de 6 jours.
GYALTSEN, le boss, est gentil et compétent.
CHILE, notre driver, est trés bon ( ce qui est rare ici !) dans une voiture formidablement confortable.
TASHI est un très bon guide, réactif, toujours à l’heure.
Le programme était impeccable, avec une bonne organisation.
Seuls l(es) hôtel(s) de Lhassa sont en dessous du niveau – point à améliore impérativement- le “Gesar” de Shigatse est par contre tout à fait bien.
Détail ! et nous recommandons vivement cette très bonne agence tibétaine.

В этот особенный год Огненной Лошади агентство “Чудеса Тибета” приложило все усилия, чтобы Тибет, Кайлас стали для нас стимулом самосовершенствования, позитивного развития (тур Сага Дава 24.05.- 07.06.2026, кора вокруг Кайласа, базовый лагерь у Эвереста).
В этом огромную роль сыграли менеджеры Галсан Гьянцен, Галина, водитель автобуса Лубсан и наш гид Дорджи.Дорджи это не только профессиональный гид, но и Личность с Большой Буквы, Человек кристально чистой души, добрейшим, открытым сердцем.Мы доверяли Дорджи во всем, восхищались тем, как он дружелюбно, умело решает возникшие проблемы.
Благодаря правильно организованному агентством маршруту, индивидуальному подходу гида Дорджи, акклиматизацию прошли мы с супругом очень успешно, хотя были самыми возрастными в группе (65 лет), даже на удивление всех мы приходили в гестхаус после прохождения 1-2 дней коры вокруг Кайласа в числе первых.
Программа тура предусматривала посещение, кору вокруг множества монастырей, что в Священный месяц (Буята Сарда) было очень актуальным для нас.
Наша большая семья очарована нашими впечатлениями от Тибета.
Мы желаем процветания агентству ” Чудеса Тибета”, будем его рекомендовать всем.

Stunning landscapes, deeply spiritual culture, and the kindest people I’ve ever met. From the turquoise Yamdrok Lake to snow-capped peaks and pine forests — every day felt like a postcard.
Special thanks to Tashi from Wonders of Tibet – our amazing local guide who made the whole trip smooth, insightful, and full of heart. Highly recommend him and the agency if you’re planning a meaningful Tibet experience!

Our trip was nothing short of magical — breathtaking landscapes, deeply spiritual monasteries, and the warmest, kindest people I’ve ever met. From the turquoise beauty of Yamdrok Lake to the sacred peaks and peaceful valleys, every day was filled with awe and meaning.

A heartfelt thank you to Tashi, our outstanding guide. His deep knowledge of Tibetan culture, traditions, and cuisine gave us an authentic experience that went far beyond sightseeing. He didn’t just lead us — he shared stories, history, and wisdom that brought this sacred land to life.

Только вернулись из путешествия по Тибету, было невероятно! Огромная благодарность организатору поездки Гяльтсену, и нашему гиду Дорджи. Настолько внимательные к деталям и заботливые люди! В таком непростом путешествии, как Тибет и Эверест, очень важно быть именно с местной компанией, которые в момент решают все вопросы. Начиная от получения оригинала разрешения на посещение Тибета (получали в городе Чэнду за день до прилета в Лхасу), заканчивая помощью при горной болезни и покупкой сувениров.
Теперь по порядку. Оптимальная логистика в Тибет по опыту именно через Чэнду, оттуда много удобных рейсов в Лхасу, и пермит на посещение Тибета приехал туда раньше нас, и конверт ожидал на ресепшен. Данное разрешение вам понадобится не только на влет, но и в течение всей поездки по Тибету. А так же для получения спец разрешения на пребывание в базовом лагере Эвереста также требуется тибетский пермит. Компания всё организует, вам нужно только за день приехать в миграционный офис, заполнить анкету, сфотографироваться.
В Лхасе и Шигадзе посетили большое количество монастырей и дворцов. Наш гид Дорджи очень глубоко владеет историей буддизма, детально и интересно рассказывал про всё, что встречалось нам на пути, теперь совершенно по иному смотрим на символику и прочее.
Основной целью нашей поездки был Эверест. Дорога дальняя, два дня пути на машине через Гималаи, с остановкой на ночь в Шигадзе. Весь тур собран таким образом, чтобы вы привыкли к высотам заранее и акклиматизировались, поэтому на Эверест мы приехали уже в нормальном состоянии. Нам очень повезло с погодой, было ясно и в день приезда, и на следующий день. Номера в базовом лагере скромные, но вполне приличные, есть всё необходимое, а теплые полы очень спасают ночью, плюс в номера подается кислород из стены, так что ночью спали сносно)) В любом случае величие горы и атмосфера там, открывающиеся виды однозначно стоят того, чтобы проделать такой путь с кислородными и высотными неудобствами.
Очень благодарим компанию за помощь в решении вопроса, когда отменили нам обратный рейс, ребята ночью решали вопрос, чтобы пересадить нас на следующий самолет.
В целом поездка незабываемая, сложности забудутся, а яркие воспоминания останутся на всю жизнь!

I would like to say thank you to the agency and our tour guide Dorrji. Everything was great from the beginning to the end. The agency went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable, helped us create good itinerary and provided with all the instructions during the trip. Agency also provided oxygen and local medicine to help with altitude sickness. Our tour guide Dorrji was very calm, collected, knowledgeable and easy going. We had great time with him. These people treated us like we are part of their family. I highly recommend the agency, I can’t say thank you enough!!!

We travelled on the 15 day Mt Everest Base Camp and Mt Kailash trip from 1-15 May 2024. We are 77 and 72. The trip was so well organised, thank you so much to Gyaltsen for his excellent communication before the trip, and going out of his way to get our Tibetan Permits, considering we were actually over the age limit. We had an excellent guide, who made our tour very pleasant and easy going. Tashi was very well educated on the development of all the monasteries we visited and Tibetan history. He has been a guide for 19 years, so very experienced and this he indicated with his respect, his concern for all individuals on the tour and his unending patience. We managed to see Mt Everest in all her glory, with a beautiful clear day. We walked one day, 20kms, of the Kora. It was not easy, but glad we at least walked the first day. It seems when it is colder that oxygen levels are even less than in summer months. The Manasovara Lake was heavenly. We had perfect weather the whole tour. Wonders of Tibet totally support the Tibetan travel industry and we would thoroughly recommend other tourists to see Tibet with this company. Thank you so much Tashi, you are a Tibetan gem, a really lovely person with a passionate and open caring heart. Thank you Gyaltsen for your excellent communication, organisational skills and hospitality on our arrival. We appreciated everything you did for us to make this a very memorable journey. Love to you both Hamid and Glenda.

We are very glad to travelled with Wonders of Tibet company. They are local Tibetan owned business with very honest service and most importantly they serve you as a family.

‘Wonders of Tibet’ is a family-run business and when you travel with them, you become part of an extended family that offers a very personal, accommodating and flexible service throughout. I travelled to Tibet by myself in September 2019 but managed to arrange to be part of a larger trekking group for a few days which was lovely in terms of company but also brought down the cost of my trip. Due to initial altitude sickness and a few other hiccups along the way I missed a few sightseeing trips at the beginning of my tour but this was in part made up towards the end of my trip when I was feeling fine. I will always be grateful to ‘Wonders of Tibet’ for making me feel safe and welcome in Tibet and for doing so much more than ‘just being a tour guide’.

August 2018 – It was wonderful trip to Tibet. Our friendly guide, Gyaltsen, has told us a lot about religion and culture of this amazing country! He has also made our journey very comfortable, since everything was very well planned. He told us about Tibetan traditional medicine preventing altitude sickness – we could sleep well at night after we took it everyday in the evening.
We were very lucky that we could see Mt. Everest (not covered by clouds) and spend night at Mt. Everest Base Camp.

We recommend strongly – if you want to visit Tibet, contact Gyaltsen!

I had the chance to take a 2 weeks trip around western Tibet (Lhasa – Shigatse – Mt Kailash – Manasarovar- EBC) with Gyaltsen as a guide.

I have no word to express how grateful I was to have him as a guide.

He not only is the most experimented and reliable guide but he also has the kindest attention for his guests.

Thank you a million time Gyaltsen, You are a living Bodhisattva.

I did a trekking tour with Kalsang in August, we went from Ganden to Samye. It is a very beautiful trek and we enjoyed the scenery around us every day. The trek was a little difficult, but Kalsang was encouraging me and helping when it was necessary. I am happy I did it. Great memories about Tibet!

I had a fulfilling & satisfying 16-day trip in Tibet with my ever so attentive tour guide & driver. My fears and uncertainties were allayed as I began my travels with them. It had been such an enjoyable pilgrimage that I looked forward to travel with them soon; real soon.

My guide was wonderful, he arranged everything and I only had to buy tickets to get to Tibet. I am vegetarian and every time we went to restaurant or tea house, he made an extra effort to arrange a vegetarian meal for me.
I had an amazing time in Tibet!

Our group of 4 had Gyaltsen’s superb guidance for 5 days, traveling thru Lhasa and a few other places in the vicinity in the summer of 2015. Gyaltsen is knowledgeable, resourceful, friendly, honest and I wholeheartedly recommend Gyaltsen’s service to anyone looking for a safe traveling to Tibet. I, in fact did recommend his service to my friend at work who traveled thru Tibet along with his wife the following year. They both agreed with me and had nothing but the best things to say about Gyaltsen who took them on a trekking tour from Lhasa to Mt Everest!

Thank you, Gyaltsen!

Our party of three joined several others from all parts of the world for an 8 day adventure to EBC. Upon meeting Gaps at the airport, he ensured we were all taken care of and settled in before our tour started the next day. Gaps was always very friendly and accommodating for our group. He has such a great spirit that was contagious. It was my husband’s birthday on the trip and they provided him with a cake and candles. We felt that they went above and beyond on our entire trip. This trip was very enlightening for me and I can’t wait until we can go on another trip to Tibet. I am sure we will book with Gaps. He made the trip so much more with his candor and kindness. I learned so much about the region, culture, and Buddhist culture while we were there. Don’t hesitate to book this trip with Gaps, you won’t regret it!

Hello everyone ! I’m was in Tibet in 2014, the group was led by Gyaltsen. It was thanks to him that the trip turned out to be well planned, comfortable and very informative. Gyaltsen is a very competent guide, who loves his work and is able to show and explain everything, while creating a maximum of comfort for tourists. If once again I’m going to go to Tibet, my guide’s choice will be only one – my great friend Gyaltsen , whom I boldly recommend to other travelers, you will have all the best! Gyaltsen is able to show the most interesting places in Tibet, flexibly considering the demands of tourists and the possibility of staying, while at the same time providing the greatest possible comfort for traveling and staying in hotels and guest houses. So, dear Gyaltsen , thanks for the trip and success and prosperity to your tourism business!

I travelled a lot and they are one of the best travel agent I have come across. They try their very best to countermeasure any unforeseen event. Make changes to make sure all their customers enjoy their trip and not being interrupt by anything.

Way to go and keep up the good job!

I travelled to Tibet in 2013 together with two friends. We were lucky enough to have the best tour guide ever, Gyaltsen, who showed us (a small part of) his homeland and answered all our questions. He’s extremely nice and helpful and speaks a perfect English. We had a private tour, which we planned in advance. Only bad thing is that it was too short, so I’m definitly going to go back and see more, and of course I will contact him again.

Our trip to Tibet in April 2015 exceeded our expectations on every level, the whole experience was nothing short of magical.
In April 2015 we joined a 7 day tour in Tibet. Far and away, the highlight of our trip was our local guide, Gyaltsen.So fantastic that we felt like he became part of our family.
Useless to say he contributed to make our trip perfect. First, his knowledge is nothing short of awesome, starting from his fluent English. He made the history, geography and culture of Tibet come alive for all of us.
His patience with our varying multi-cultural group and our different timings to adapt to high altitude was also amazing.
On very top of that we were in Tibet during and unexpected and exceptional situation: the earthquake. Again they all, expecially Gyaltsen, not only understood our needs but had to the keen ability and knowledge to know how to handle the situation.
After this experience, we will be recommending a trip to Tibet to everyone we know with an interest in travel, and will suggest they use this company to plan their trip.  Can’t say enough good things about it!

I and my family had a 7 day trip to Tibet in 2015. Gap was our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, and very friendly. He has arranged very well our whole trip, from where to stay, what food to try, the beautiful views and rich culture! We especially value his deep knowledge and his great introduction of the history and the culture. He speaks great English which my daughter likes the most. So she can ask all kinds of questions. It is a trip once in a life time! We appreciate Gap very much for his excellent guide, and highly recommend Gap if you are planning a trip to Tibet.

Few places in the world have ever made such a lasting impression on us as Tibet did. The magnificent views, otherworldly and everchanging landscapes and the deep spiritual devotion of the tibetan population are, among other things, what made this 8day trip from the former forbidden city of Lhasa to the recently re-opened Nepali border the trip of a lifetime! But none of it would have been the same without our guide Gyal-tsen. To be able to catch a glimpse into and understanding of the mysterious and somewhat mystical culture and day-to-day life of its inhabitants was something we could only dream of until we met him. Highly knowledgeable, insight- and resourceful, friendly, funny and kind, and despite all of its stunning natural beauty, Gyal-tsen turned out to be what we miss most about Tibet. And when in doubt at lunch or dinner, just order what he’s having! Tu jay chay!

It is my pleasure to write this review about our trip with guide Gyaltsen in Tibet. It was our second trip to this fascinating country and culture. We – my wife, daughter and me – were interested in the history, culture and religion of Tibet and in its amazing landscape and nature. During 10 days we experienced numerous impressions, which widened our horizon and view on life. Landscapes of breath-taking beauty, monasteries full of history and culture, and kind and hospitable Tibetan people will stay in our mind for the rest of our life. From Lhasa we traveled to Gyantse and further Shigatse, finally reaching Everest base camp, passing through ancient towns and villages, monasteries, valleys and mountains of the Himalaya.
Gyaltsen is a highly educated young man with a deep knowledge of the history and cultural background of his home country. He is very kind, always helpful, respects the wishes of his tour guests and speaks perfectly English. He flexibly adapted the tour to our wishes and did his best fulfil our expectations in this visit to Tibet – getting a deep insight into culture, religion, history and Tibetan everyday life, and experience the landscape of the Himalaya mountains.

I went to Tibet with my ex girlfriend in the summer and Gaps was amazing. What started off as a trek to base camp ended in a complete emersion into Tibet. From experiencing the cuisine and host family stays to sightseeing and the insightful discussions with Gaps, the trip to base camp was amazing don’t get me wrong but the insight and expertise from Gaps made this trip exceptional. Highly recommended. My ex is now my wife by the way.

It was with great experienced having the private tour with Mr.Gaps. Realizing the much differences between Tibetan and others. So much mysteries to know about. We were having a birthday party too!
It is a peaceful and tranquil place everyone dreams of. Away from the hustle and bustle of cities, people go round chasing something unrealistic.
Mr.Gaps is very kind to provide me a local traditional medicine for my headache ?
I would love to go back with more adventure activities…. definately will look for Mr.Gaps!

I went to Tibet with my friend in spring of 2016. We joined a group of 10+ people from all over the world for the 8-day EBC trip and had Gaps as our tour guide. The whole process prior to the trip was very smooth and they provided us with tips on planning on our end while they took care of the documentation part. We had a great time immersing in the Tibetan culture and Buddhism religion during the trip. Gaps was very knowledgeable in the local culture and Buddhism and explained everything we were curious about. The team was very professional and patient. It was the best tour experience I have had and unforgettable moment when we saw the tip of Mt Everest. Definitely would recommend it to others!

We did the 8 day Lhasa – Mount everest tour with a small group and I absolutely loved every moment from this trip. Gaps was a great and fun guide and very aknowledged about Tibetan Buddhism and culture. I highly recommend him as your guide so you can get the full Tibet experience. It was without hesitation the best tour I ever had, and an experience I will always remember.

Gyaltsen is very experienced guide and his knowledge about Tibetan Buddhism, culture and places is amazing. I did a 8 days EBC trip and everything was great. He was always able to provide assistance and information for all our needs including helping me to find some of the local homemade barley beer and Tibetan medicines that helped me to recover from an old knee injury. As for the travel itself everything was done in professional manner beggining with the airport pickup, acclimatizing, monastery tours and EBC- one of the best times in my life. Traveling to Tibet is definitely a great choice and I highly recommend Gyaltsen as your guide so you can get the full authentic experience of local culture, stunning views and holy mountains and the greatest treasure of them all – the kindness and the warmth of the Tibetan people.

Our party of three joined several others from all parts of the world for an 8 day adventure to EBC.

I would like to highly recommend Gyaltsen as your tour guide he drew us into a new and different world full of Tibetan culture and wonder. We found him very knowledgeable and informative with a great sense of adventure and humour.
Nothing was ever too much trouble I would highly recommend him truly the trip of a lifetime.
We felt complete safe and confident in his care.
Enjoy❤️

Gaps is very humble and helpful, thoughtful and insightful, and able to flavour a tour in quite a unique manner, catering even to spiritual desire. It was Gaps that introduced me to Lama Acu Sangye at the foot of Mount Everest. And I have him to thank for such an enlightening experience.

The meeting of Lama Acu, in the darkness of the southernmost Rongbuk Temple meditation cave at the foot of Everest 16,900 feet above sea level was both the geographical and spiritual apex of my Himalayan pilgrimage through China, India, Ladakh, Nepal and Tibet – but it was nothing that he said and nothing that he did.

Lama Acu lead me to the inner chamber of the cave complex and we sat and meditated.

While the world without was wrestling with real and imagined acts of terror and occupation, I was wrestling with a very personal subjugation, heightened by a re-reading of the 14th century Nyingma text revealed by Karma Lingpa known as the Bardo Thodol or the Tibetan Book of the Dead or Liberation through Hearing During the Intermediate State.

After meditating with Acu for some time in the relative warmth of the temple cave, I decided to go on my way. Climbing up the stone steps, back out to the surface I was struck by a truly profound realisation.

I was stood at the very foot of the tallest peak in the world – and yet somehow I had forgotten this completely while inside the cave. It occurred to me then all of a sudden that if I was able to ignore such a physical colossus, it must be possible to ignore anything that I encounter – physically or mentally. And that, quite simply, was the realisation, that was the liberation.

I went to Lhasa with my twin brother and grand parents for 4 days. My grand mother was worried about the trip because she doesn’t travel much, but it turned out to be so easy to coordinate everything with our tour guide. Tickets, travel permits and practical information was sorted out in no time. We chose to travel by train from Beijing and it was an unforgettable experience. Upon arrival we were picked up by our charismatic tour guide who was extremely well-informed and could answer all our questions about Tibet, religion and the local lifestyle in the city.
It was without doubt one of the best trips I ever had, and an experience I will remember the rest of my life. Many thanks to our brilliant tour guide for making this trip possible and for providing excellent information and services on our trip.
