So, you’re thinking of a Tibet trip?
Well, you’re in for an extraordinary journey that transcends the ordinary. From the roof of the world to the heart of ancient wisdom, here are four reasons why this trip will be a wealth of experiences like no other:
Ⅰ. Slow Travel to the Roof of the World
Procuring soft sleeper beds on trains in China can be quite challenging. Soft sleepers are relatively rare on normal speed trains as most of these trains have only one car for soft sleepers each. Moreover, Chinese trains often sell out early, so if you want a sleeper, you need to book a couple of days in advance. Turning up on the same day, you’ll find it very difficult to get a sleeper.
With Supera, we ensure your comfort by taking care of these complexities. We guarantee soft-sleeper beds and onboard oxygen, allowing you to fully immerse in the experience. This is not just a tour, but #ABetterWayToTour.
Ⅱ. Nature’s Sovereign Grace
In the lofty realms where heavens meet the Earth, the Tibetan Plateau, known as the Water Tower of Asia, stands as a testament to nature’s sovereign grace. Serving as a lifeline for over a billion people, its majestic rivers meander through ten countries, providing vital water resources. Furthermore, Tibet holds the largest freshwater reserves after the polar regions, earning it the title of the Heart of the Third Pole.
At dawn’s first blush, the crown of this plateau gleams gold, a shimmering jewel, an allure untold. This journey is not just about traversing landscapes, but about rediscovering the magnanimously nurturing spirit of the Mother Goddess.
This journey is a testament to nature’s sovereign grace, a chance to witness the breathtaking spectacle of the Earth’s rebirth every dawn.
Understanding our place in the grand scheme of the cosmos, and appreciating the intricate balance of our ecosystem.
Ⅲ. Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Life
The destinations listed below offer a wealth of ancient wisdom. They serve as reminders of the importance of spirituality, the inevitability of balance, and the benefit of embracing a harmonious relationship with nature in our modern lives.
- Potala Palace: A timeless marvel that offers solace and rejuvenation amidst its sublime grandeur. It’s a testament to ancient wisdom that transcends the hustle and bustle of modern life. With Supera, we ensure that you begin and end your days in Lhasa with an inspiring view of the Potala Palace from your room.

- Norbulingka: The Dalai Lama’s summer residence, a beautiful Tibetan garden that embodies the harmony between man and nature, a principle deeply rooted in Tibetan philosophy.
Ⅳ. Everest Experience
The journey to Tibet offers a unique opportunity to witness the majestic Mount Everest from a perspective few have seen. The Rongbuk Camp in Tibet, the highest camp accessible by vehicles, offers an unobstructed, awe-inspiring view of the world’s highest peak.
Unlike the crowded base camps on the Nepal side, the Rongbuk Camp offers a serene and tranquil environment. Here, you can marvel at the grandeur of Everest without the distraction of large crowds. The camp also provides a unique angle for viewing Everest, showcasing the mountain’s true majesty and grandeur.
Moreover, the journey to Rongbuk Camp itself is an adventure, taking you through some of the most stunning landscapes Tibet has to offer. With Supera, we ensure that this journey is not just about reaching a destination, but about experiencing the journey itself.
Bonus: Navigating the Permit Maze
The Advantage of a Trusted Tour Operator
Venturing into the mystical land of Tibet requires more than just a sense of adventure. It involves navigating a complex maze of permits and regulations, a task that can be daunting for the uninitiated. From the Tibet Travel Permit to the Alien’s Travel Permit, and from the Military Area Entry Permit to the Frontier Pass, each permit serves a specific purpose and requires careful attention to detail.
Obtaining these permits involves liaising with various government agencies, a process that can be time-consuming and confusing. Moreover, the requirements can change without notice, adding another layer of complexity to the process. Furthermore, foreign travelers are required to join a tour group organized by a local travel agency.
This is where the advantage of a trusted tour operator like Supera comes into play. With years of experience and a deep understanding of the permit process, we handle all the paperwork, ensuring a hassle-free experience for you. We stay updated with the latest regulations, saving you from potential pitfalls and last-minute surprises.
