Hi, M.O,
Greetings from Sophie, Top China Travel!
Thank you very much for your attention and questions.
►Travel to Tibet in April
Well noted that you are planning to visit Tibet for 5 days alone in April. It is a good choice to take a
Tibet tour in April as it just starts to re-open to foreigners from the beginning of April after almost 2 months close. Although it is still a bit cold in Lhasa in April, the travel fee can be lower during the shoulder tourism season. Besides, it will not be as crowded as that in high tourism city. Then you could enjoy the best time in
Tibet.
►Standard hotels in Lhasa
As you travel alone, 3 star hotel is a good choice for you to reduce the tour cost, but still have a good and comfortable rest after tours. The 3 star hotels offered by Top China Travel can offer standard facility, safe and clean, but not expensive. Some 3 star hotels are in Tibetan style. If you would like to have a try, please inform us in advance.
►Transportation between Guangzhou and Lhasa
There is one flight by China Southern Airlines between
Guangzhou and Lhasa. It needs 5 hours by this plane with one hour stop in Chongqing for the passengers to have a rest en-route. Therefore, it is quite convenient travel round way between Guangzhou and Lhasa.
►Tour itinerary
As you have 5 days, and hope to enjoy the natural view and cultural mystery. I suggest you take the tour as below,
Day01 Fly from Guangzhou to Tibet
Day02 Lhasa city tour by visiting to Potala Palace, Johang Monastery and Bakhor Street
Day03 Lhasa city tour by visit to Sera Monastery to watch the Lama's debate, Deprung Monastery and Norbulinka
Day04 One day tour to Namtso Lake or Yamdrok Lake. Both of them are very beautiful highland lake for you to enjoy the different natural view. Overnight in Lhasa
Day05 Fly from Lhasa to Guangzhou.
Hope the above is helpful. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact with us.
Best regards
Sophie
