Risposta breve

It can be, with a slower itinerary and a doctor’s check first. We build extra Lhasa days for families and travellers over 65.

Before you book

Speak to your doctor about the trip, especially if anyone has a heart, lung or blood-pressure condition, or is pregnant. Share your doctor’s advice with us when you enquire so we can plan the route. We do not give medical advice or dosing.

How we change the plan

1
More time in Lhasa

Extra nights at 3,650 m before going higher.

2
Lower routes

Choose Nyingchi, at 2,950 m, or keep to Lhasa and Shigatse.

3
Shorter drives

Fewer long days, with more stops.

4
Oxygen and rest

Oxygen in every vehicle, and hotels with oxygen rooms where possible.

What helps on the day

Let children rest at the first sign of tiredness and keep them drinking water. Older travellers should keep a slow pace on stairs, particularly at the Potala. Tell your guide early if anyone feels unwell.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a minimum age?

We will talk through your child’s age and health with you. Ask us when you enquire.

Can older travellers visit?

Many do. A slower plan and a doctor’s check make a difference.

What if someone feels unwell?

Your guide will arrange rest, oxygen or a doctor, and change the plan if needed.
