It is quite a challenge to cycle across the “roof of the world”! Our trips are specially designed to allow you to explore Tibet in depth, fully absorbing the scenery and culture while undertaking the challenge of biking at a high altitude on demanding road conditions. You will stay in hotels and tents, always supported by your travel consultant, local guides and experienced drivers. Understandably, a biking tour of Tibet is not for everyone. The demanding but rewarding trip requires much preparation to make sure that you are in good enough physical condition for the challenge. The recommended season for biking in Tibet is from May to June and September to early October to avoid winter’s cold and the late summer rainy season. If you are ready for this exciting adventure in Tibet, please contact us for more details about the Tibet Biking Tour costs and our suggested itinerary.
In Tibet, the best times for cycling are May, middle of June and September, when the weather is warm and dry. As usual, the optimum time to come to Tibet is from May to October while it doesn't mean the same for cycling. Cycling needs better weather conditions. Please note that wet season (from June to the middle of August) is not suitable for cycling.
The cost depends on lots of factors, such as the date and length of your trip, the itineraries and the standard of accommodation, so it is hard to say how much the cost is for cycling in Tibet if you do not share the information listed above with us. However, cycling in Tibet is much more expensive than routine sightseeing trips. You need to hire a guide, lease a licensed vehicle with a driver, rent a mountain bike and prepare some bicycle gear.
Yes. In Lhasa, there are many bicycle shops offering bicycle rental services. You could ask your guide to take you to these shops and assist you in renting a bike. In general, the cost of bicycle rental in Lhasa is about 60-80 RMB per day. However, in addition to the rental fee, you also need to pay a refundable deposit of about 800 RMB per bike.
Wonderful moments in Tibet thanks to Odyssey Travel. It was all so well organized thanks to Amy who had been so professional and supportive.
The beauty of landscapes and people in Tibet were simply mesmerizing. Our guide and driver were amazing companions for this travel. The Kora of Mount Khalash was the highlight of this wonderful journey. I learned a lot about the culture of Tibet.
Thank you Odissey!

Vielen Dank, Claire, für die tolle Organisation unserer 10-tägigen Reise durch Tibet. Bei den teilweise sehr kurzfristigen Änderungen unserer Reiseroute, warst Du immer sofort zur Stelle und hast uns zusätzliche Optionen, Hotels und Flüge vorgeschlagen und gebucht... in perfektem Deutsch! Das war klasse! Wenn wir nochmals nach Tibet kommen, buchen wir auf jeden Fall wieder über Dich! Danke für alles!
Overall, I am very satisfied with the service. Our travel consultant Monica is very responsive and helpful. She responded to our questions promptly and willing to accommodate my request. Tibet tour is very nice and memorable. We got well along with other travel members and became very good friends. The only thing I do mind is the condition of the public toilets, hard to describe, you should see them by yourself.
The tour guide and diver are pretty kind and zealous! And all the stories the guide told are very attractive as well. Hope next time visiting there, they can entertain us again.
We were very impressed with the travel agency Aisa Odyssey Tour and our organizer Amy who arranged all details swiftly without any worries. We took the flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa and were told we need the group visas to board the flight to Lhasa from there, this agency helped us get both of our group visas and Tibet visas sucessfully before the tour began as we expected and smoothly arrived in Lhasa as planned, really apprecaited!
Tibet is great place we did not want to leave because it’s really fabulous, but of course the long drives across the Tibetan plains to Everest base camp and the fantastic blue skies everyday, we spent a wonderful 7 days trip in Tibet with help of Amy and saw some nice monasteries, lakes, mountains and friendly local Tibetans etc.
Overall, our tour guide is very knowledgeable with culture and history of Tibet and always satisfy us as best as she could, our driver is a good person too and was driving in a safe way everywhere. Tibet is such a beatiful place, hope me and my wife could have a chance to come back again someday to spend more time for visiting further place of Tibet like Kailash? I will contact this agency again then, thanks again for making my long-awaited dream came true!
Just wanted to say I and my partner Jane had a fantastic trip of a lifetime and can’t thank all the team enough! Amy you did a great job! Everything went perfect loved the ancient Hotel and Tibetan people were so so nice to us. Train journey was a pleasure and 2 days past like 2 hours.
Would have loved more days in Tibet.
