We’ve made the travel mistakes so you don’t have to.
Hi, Yolanda and Lobsang here. When we first started traveling through Tibet, we realized how difficult it was for outsiders to find real, reliable, ethical local services. We created YoWangdu to solve that exact problem.
We personally introduce you to the exact same agencies and local guides that we trust with our own family and closest friends.
2026 TRAVEL ADVISORY
Kailash Trek: Year of the Horse – most sacred year for the circuit. Saka Dawa (May 17–June 15) brings extreme crowds. Book early or choose a different window.
Nepal border: Kyirong Nepal–Tibet border reopened late December 2025. Dram border also open.
Visa update: Special Chinese Group Visa no longer required from Nepal. Individual visa from your home country now works. Tibet travel permit still required via an official agency.
What travelers say…
Last year you recommended a guide service in Tibet. We took the advice and will always be grateful we did. Every day I think of our too short a time crossing Tibet – meeting wonderful people, seeing amazing geography and spending deeply moving time in a very special place.
— Brooks & Diane, USA
We had a fantastic time in Tibet, and loved every minute of visiting the country. A lot of this is down to the guide you recommended. His knowledge was amazing, and his attitude was always friendly, positive and reassuring – we felt well cared for at all times.
— Sarah & Alan, Ireland
Tashi made all our wishes come true. We came very close to the culture and had so many wonderful encounters with local people – all thanks to the referral.
— Fabienne & Elias, Switzerland
