Tibet is a special autonomous region, and the government has the right to open or close tourist attractions at any time. If an attraction is closed, we will discuss with the group members as soon as possible after receiving the notification and provide alternative solutions.
If the government temporarily requisitions hotels or Qinghai-Tibet Railway carriages, hotels of the same standard will be provided and the most appropriate alternative will be arranged.
If the itinerary is changed due to the participant's own reasons, any additional costs incurred shall be borne by the participant. In the event of force majeure (weather, road conditions, political factors) causing itinerary changes, the travel agency reserves the right to modify the itinerary and will endeavor to provide alternative solutions.
Tibet has unique climatic conditions. Due to long hours of driving at high altitudes and crossing high mountains, there is a possibility of vehicle breakdowns or repairs being arranged along the way. The travel agency promises to quickly arrange appropriate solutions in the event of such emergencies. We ask for your understanding and cooperation.
